Whether we go up or stay in L1 this is the market that we need to be shopping in. Young and in good form but not too great that they cost an arm and a leg. We did this with Adeniran and to an extent FDB so I have faith that Moore has an eye for these kind of players. It'll be interesting to see the direction we try and go now we can pay transfer fees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep cannot disagree with that, but don't be so sure re Twine. I would not have an issue if Geoff went back to SW but I think there is too much water under the bridge for that to happen. Moore does have an eye for players suspect he knows more than you or I 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sign him for next season him and Gregory would be an interesting pairing. If he wasn’t who he was there is absolutely no chance at all you’d make that judgment from his performance yesterday, bang average league 1 striker who did nothing bar his tap in.

He’s had a decent end to the season I’ll give him that but you’ve kind of proved my point, there is no way on earth any of our fans would be musing the possibility of bringing in that number 19 from Portsmouth next season….absolutely no way at all… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove the name and focus on his stats. 23 years old, 13 goals. Exactly the type of player you'd hope your team is in for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scot Twine is a year younger with 20 goals, if we signed a 23 year old who’s scored 13 league goals in this country and 16 in his career this place wouldn’t give him the time of day….thread headline of “Is this how low we’ve sunk” face it, he’s not as good as he thinks he is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Twine is also an unrealistic target considering he'd likely cost around 4-5 million. "He's not as good as he thinks he is" This line alone tells me that this is personal for you. Take the specs off and look at the stats and where the club is. We're not going to be signing league top scores for millions. That's the reality of our situation now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t score last season in championship and 13 is a pretty standard return this season, we also have Windass, Gregory and Berahino who’d be ahead of him, why would we be interested in him? Face it, we’re only having this conversation cus of who he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK Dons (sic) bought Twine from Swindon, so why cant we look for those gems in the making and would the fan base accept them?. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
