Kwame Poku is someone I think could step up, and I think fans would stand up when he got on the ball too!! We need to wait to see Hirakawa, and even find out which side he’s gonna play. I assume because they used the term #7, Yu will play RW. He played right for Japan u23s, but has played left a bit more than right for Machida. If Manning doesn’t really want to play Wells as a 10, nor play two forwards, even with Wells as a secondary striker, I’d play Mehmeti there. He was the one creating shots or one-two’s central today when he came infield. 45 minutes ago, mozo said: Most people say that to me! I'm just glad you said if, not when!

Agreed on the above Dave. A Poku type player is what we need on top of Yu and a 10. We should be looking to play like Arsenal do, two pacy wider forwards who can invert along with a physical striker and creative midfielder.

Supersonic Robin Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 This is Burnley's last pre-season friendly. Twine's minutes today may be a reflection of just how close Twine is (or isn't) to Burnley's starting XI this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twine's minutes today may be a reflection of just how close Twine is (or isn't) to Burnley's starting XI this season. In a “squad game” he’ll be a squad player. Talking generally, his value to Burnley as a squad player in a relegated-PL team and expected to go back up, is not really comparable to his proposed role here. And in many respects, that’s why Burnley have place their valuation of him. City will spin it that they won’t pay more than he’s worth, yet also say he’s our no1 target. Those two don’t align. Burnley see through it, they owe us no favours at all. They’ve already done one favour with a sensibly priced loan. If Manning (as per comment to fan yesterday) is still trying to sign him, you can’t keep digging your heels in on fee. Burnley are not desperate to sell. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireSection Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I don't understand the approach to trying to sign Twine & having 2 punts score our goals as surely as a team we'd want to hit the ground running. The only way it makes (relative) sense is if we are looking to develop our strikers and their relationship with the mystical 10, the problem I have with that is if this season we do turn a player into a star is that we will sell them asap, plus we've written off another bloody season!!!!!

Lrrr Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 (edited) Thought Ian’s words on FBC podcast were interesting, he said ‘you can’t negotiate with someone who doesn’t want to negotiate’. Now he meant it about Burnley with Twine’s price, but really isn’t it city…. Burnley set a price… supposedly £4m or so, City went to them earlier this summer and undoubtedly would have revealed our highest price. Well city can’t go up anymore but in theory Burnley can still come down, Burnley could easily turn around and say okay 3 or 3.5m and he’s yours, it’s city here who will then say sorry we’re at our max offer, so really ian’s words describe city more than Burnley.
