There’s a massive difference between League 1 and the Championship. Whilst I agree he looked good last season it should be remembered that he’s untried at the level we operate in. I’d say it’s down to the size of the fee. Personally I wouldn’t be paying £3m for him. And that is why you are far away from recruitment. 3m for Twine would be a bargain. Absolute no brainer in todays market. Hull with Bowen Brentford with Toney Lots of examples out there. Put it this way, Twine in League 1 is 10 times the player Sorba was in the Conference. Rather that than spunk a load on a 100m sprinter from abroad.

Yeah, I’m sure Brentford are regretting signing the untried above League 1 Ivan Toney, or how we regretted signing the untried above 3rd tier Marcus Stewart, or how Leicester foolishly wasted their money on untried out of non-league Jamie Vardy etc etc I’m not advocating changing our recruitment policy. I just think we should add a few proven players alongside it not instead of it. I am sure that we will, and that we will have to double this if we loose LOB. It is early not many big signings yet, the players are on holiday and waiting for or weighing up offers. Movement usually starts in July. Premier League clubs will be reviewing their squads and deciding who they will release or put out on loan and if they will look at anyone in training before they make their minds up. We were pretty solid in defence last year but without the goals from set pieces we would not have been in the playoffs so we need to up our quality in the final third for the coming season. I doubt that we can rely on a lower league player to make the difference required. We need to be patient.

Went to Morecambe, Bolton, Crewe and Wigan this season.

I’ve not seen him play so not qualified to comment. Just surprises me when people go overboard about players that they have never seen play.

Whether we are interested, or signs elsewhere, I believe he will be a success at championship level.

Every time I watched, I really liked what I saw.

Utt oh absolutely, there’s no way we could go spend money with the expectation of selling a player. That would be daft and hopefully nobody here has that expectation.

I agree with most on Scott twine he will do well at championship level for sure. As of now he's out of our price range but the club is well aware of him.

If we sell O’Brien and would be surprised if he doesn’t go this summer for £12m, then I think not reinvesting a portion of this on Twine, will be a mistake. Unless he is of course demanding silly wages. I think he’s another Toney, Watkins etc that will triple in price. Young and has all the attributes to be playing in the PL.

I’ve seen a quote from Sinani that we would have signed him had we gone up. I’m reading into that that we won’t be paying fees for players without money coming in. If we can’t afford Sinani we can’t afford this guy.

Next we will see Hoyle and co on Bargain Hunt with Dickinson. We have had umpteen tele games. A play off campaign with a final. How can he be out of our price range? We need to progress and kick on. Yes we over achieved, I understand that. But to be taken seriously again we need to be in and around the top 6 again. Not saying we got lucky with the free signings this year, but to potentially go down that route again lightening doesnt strike twice. That doesnt mean I want us wasting money like before, but we need a degree of making a statement to the division that we were not a 1 season wonder.

I'm not convinced that the club are that interested in replicating last years success, it took everyone by surprise, the club hierarchy more than anyone. We do need to kick on and if MK are only wanting 3 million that's not crazy money in anyones book but I think the club will think that is crazy money. Unless O'Brien goes of course.

Not to be grumpy but this entire thread is a nonsense. It’s just a thread about a player that is a good player. There’s no link to him. No rumour and No chance. Just saying.

I would not rule out replicating it, but we need to show some form of ambition to be up there amongst the top 10. By ambition I dont mean spending a shed load on lots of players. But the quoted 3m for a player who would fit our style and fill the gap that Sinani leaves is cheap in the modern day. There is a bit of a grey area between freebies and spending money and the opinions people have.

Link would be Nicholls as he will have contacts still and also REG from playing together at Swindon. 2. Their are rumours on social media. 3. No chance, if we are interested, course we have a chance.

Freebies are fine, as long as they are decent freebies, clubs have let a lot of decent players go after their contracts have run out, you can have a mixture of freebies and cash spent on transfers to build a squad.

I would probably agree, the rumour is not really red hot or owt so it's hard to see him signing.
