Azed Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 43 minutes ago, Shauntaylor85 said: I’d sooner sign another winger with end product than Twine. If you ask Arsenal fans who they would put as first name on team sheet, it would be Saka from a creativity perspective. I'd argue Odegaard is more creative for Arsenal than Saka. Both world class though so no real benchmark for our recruitment. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 13 hours ago, Topper 123 said: Unless your shopping in Aldi ( league 2 or 1 ) that’s the price of established championship players That's fine but those players have to add something when you buy them. I'm not sure what Scott Twine has shown us to date bar odd glimpses, stats around we won a few games when he was playing aren't enough for me. He hasn't done enough to pass the "eye test" and if there's a better player than Scott Twine out there for £4.5m on reasonable wages then that's who you look to buy. You don't panic buy the first player that comes along who can play at the standard just because you need a player. If the club decide that Scott Twine is overpriced I certainly won't be losing my shit about it. Better than buying a player who many want now out of desperation then the "same many" will slag off the hierarchy for buying IN HINDSIGHT if he doesn't produce. There ain't exactly a queue forming around the block.................. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point? The kid wants to move away, it's not like we transfer listed him or released him. Yes, the club could have acted different and tried to increase value, I get that, but what doesn't change is that Conway wanted out. I can only speak for myself but my main interest will be in the improvements our signings make.

They have several American hard nosed investors/owners who won't know the meaning of flexible and I understand the club have been told they have to get in 50m to service loans etc (info from the Burnley forum). If Twine comes here, City will have paid whatever the asking price is imo - not sure what that asking price is but I've seen 4m talked about on here and elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both can be true. I'll have interest in how Tommy does at Boro because I believe their style suits his game more. But I also think that Sincs and Fally suit Manning's style more so it's probably a case of everyone can be happy. Especially Liam if this allows him to get Twine here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
