We got the DM. If we are looking for the AM and Twine wasn’t on our radar you’d have to ask why? Maybe we may end up with someone better come start of the season, we’ll have to wait and see. However let’s not pretend one of our strongest rivals getting a talented player who fits our usual buying criteria and is exactly the type of player we are looking for isn’t on face value a bit of a blow. Specifically though I understand Dean Smith was looking for an 8, a box to box midfielder who could score. Believe Twine played in an advanced role, either left wing/striker in a 3-4-3 or as an out and out striker. I'd expect he's targeting someone with some legs and physicality, and I'm not sure Twine fits the bill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, if they don't know where they travelled to... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unique 434 Posted June 25, 2022 A goal-scoring midfielder is the least of our concerns when we already have the likes of McLean, Dowell and Lees-Melou threatening the back of the net week in week out……… 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are misquoting him again. He said he didn't envisage us spending that much on a player unless we sold someone, and it is likely that at least Aarons will go this summer, and for a decent amount. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hertfordyellow 460 Posted June 25, 2022 While I like the idea of Twine, if we look at this rationally, Dowell was / is a better bet at this level. Played a load of games at this level with good effect. 5 goals in 10 starts. Already embedded in the squad, more experience etc etc. All for 2 million less. Who ever signed him could teach that Webber a thing or two 😜 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,202 Posted June 25, 2022 This has been at least the 2nd summer in a row we would likely lose Aarons and still he is here. I'm not convinced he's going anywhere and given the likely surprise exit of Tzolis, I don't think we should rush to get rid of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
