[NewClaret]

Would be the perfect signing to replace JBG who we should have kept

Agree we should’ve kept JBG.

Really fear that we’ll miss his dead ball delivery and creativity next year.

I think the the championship 22/23 he showed how capable he is playing through the middle

[AfloatinClaret]

Just so long as we keep Foster he's going to be worth a fortune once he's the Championship's top scorer at Christmas

We tried, he wasn’t interested

Thank the lord, Vegas.

Just had a watch of him. Observations are that he’s very Maatsenesque - an attacking full back with an eye for goal. More lightweight by the looks of things but some of that footage may be old and he might have filled out a bit. Also seems to have played lots of positions so potentially versatile.

Would be a good signing on a free.

[summitclaret]

We like midgets don't we.

[123EasyasBFC]

We like midgets don't we.

Wouldn’t call 5ft 10 a midget

[exilecanada]

From all accounts he chose not to renew. Maybe he'll have a change of heart now Kompany has left the building. We could certainly use a player of his calibre and experience.

[NewClaret]

Wouldn’t call 5ft 10 a midget

Yes he looks pretty tall. I was referring more to his build. I think most of our squad need to get in the gym and build up a bit.

Based on ?

He's extracting the urine

the very little feedback I've seen floating about from Ajax fans is that he isn't up to much - pretty much what you expect tbh from other fans

[KRBFC]

Just so long as we keep Foster he's going to be worth a fortune once he's the Championship's top scorer at Christmas

Based on what?

He’s been at 6 different clubs already in his career and hasn’t shown anything to suggest he’d be a prolific goalscorer at Championship level, I do admire the optimism though

[NewClaret]

Everton won't be going into Admin, and the Everton Journos have said they are fine with PSR this season and DONT need to sell anyone by the end of June

Sky sports now reporting Everton do need to sell before 30th June, along with Newcastle, Forest, Chelsea, Villa and Leicester.

[Goody1975]

Sell when you want and accept the four point penalty.

[NewClaret]

Sell when you want and accept the four point penalty.

Have to say, that’s what I’d do now the punishments have proven to be so weak.

[theduke]

None of it makes sense. Only villa of the above clubs voted for the PSR rules to be increased.

Unless of course SSN are talking crap

[Claret Toni]

Ben Gibson on a free from Norwich to Stoke.

Aged 31 now and deceptively slow, I can't imagine what they see in him.

[Wokingclaret]

Ben Gibson on a free from Norwich to Stoke.

Aged 31 now and deceptively slow, I can't imagine what they see in him.

experienced and free

[randomclaret2]

Ben Gibson on a free from Norwich to Stoke.

Aged 31 now and deceptively slow, I can't imagine what they see in him.

Jon Walters, who was here when Gibson was, is Stoke's sporting director

[boatshed bill]

Gibson on a pay-per-play basis...
but how much would he be prepared to cough up?

[CoolClaret]

I think Lawrence Shankland would be a shrewd signing.

Probably not good enough for the PL but he's a proper goal scorer - we should have plenty of the ball next season and are light up top. I'd go in for him.

[Taffy on the wing]

Ben Gibson on a free from Norwich to Stoke.

Aged 31 now and deceptively slow, I can't imagine what they see in him.

They had Leon Cort .........

[MrTopTier]

Newcastle have bid in the region of 15m for Trafford.
Sky Sports.

[Woodleyclaret]

We gave one England keeper away to money bags Newcastle and we dont want to repeat our Pope error.We want North of £25m for Traff with a 25% sell on clause just incase he is actually as good as some predicted

[123EasyasBFC]

Nixons stories tomorrow

https://x.com/sunchelsea/status/1799519 ... rNr6Z5x6nA

How he has the cheek charge people for his stories

[quoonbeatz]

Because loads of proper mugs pay for them.

[Vegas Claret]

I'll be surprised if he drops to League One

[Woodleyclaret]

It's a shame if we sell him as now JBG has gone we have no dead ball specialist. We need to keep him as our new manager can develop his skills the way VK was incapable of doing due to his obsession with Magic Mike.

[Holtyclaret]

Twine is miles down the pecking order and tbf he weren’t banging them in from angles last season.

Is that the magic Mike that played for about 3 minutes last season?

[Woodleyclaret]

How on Earth are Everton who have massive debts able to sign anyone.The nonsense story emerging about a paltry £10 m bid for Esteve is a classic case of fake news .We would be insane to sell him at all with him being a major part of our team.

[warksclaret]

When posters start making a case for keeping JBG, and wanting to give Twine a chance in the new season-just glad these guys are not responsible for culling a hugely over sized squad. Some tough decisions need to be taken, and no time for sentimentality

[HahaYeah]

Sunderland and Birmingham City in for Twine at £4M.

On face value I understand your reckoning, for me the biggest single problem with tempting JBG back would be contract length and wages (given he was on PL wages). I would have hoped to keep him on but that ship has sailed. Twine is different we have not had a chance to look closely at him for a season and while he did not appear to pull up any trees while out on loan the potential for him to have filled out and strengthened over two close seasons should not be ignored out of hand. For me the new manager needs to bring him back in pre-season and look at his development before judging. Central midfield is not an area we need to be further culling, when we are not short of excess in other areas of the field.

You can reasonably assume that jbg would have had a contractual drop in salary following relegation so you’d think he’s looking for longer or a fresh challenge before he retires.

Twine has done nothing in 2 years and if as rumoured above we’re about to receive a £4m bid I’d snap their hands off. hell have been v closely monitored last season. Lightweight and with a mid championship ceiling, if that.

The more chaff that can be cut from the squad the more better players can be retained.

Twine, Bastien, churlinov, vignoroux. Weghorst, obafemi, Delcroix, Costelloe,McNally , Roberts and possibly bpf should all be moved on for starters.

Totally agree Holtyclaret with your proposed departures, with probably a few more names as well

[warksclaret]

If Scott Twine had the potential to make it, the Bristol City manager who brought him in on loan for 5 months, and who previously managed him at MK Dons , would be pushing to get him back. Our club will have had people watching him during his Hull and Bristol City games, where he had the chance to shine at two mid table sides.He seems a lovely lad and seems to get on with everyone, but a bid of £4m is seriously worth considering

[matttheclaret]

Sunderland and Birmingham City in for Twine at £4M.

https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/fo ... er-4658566

Doesn't actually say that. Just says that is what we paid MK Dons for him. I'll be surprised if we get much over half that tbh

[HahaYeah]

Ah. My mistake, thanks.

Thought it was a good price!

Cannot say I have strong opinions on any of the above on your list, nor given the offer would I have a problem being sold; if it is deemed correct by the staff of Burnley. However, I am loath to add him to the bin list simply because of the disruption his career has had due to injury. So far at the higher level he has looked too lightweight, but he has time on his side and demonstrated when fit and enjoying his football has some serious ability. IF and accept it is an ‘if’ at this point he is able to add body-mass and strength to his game then a I think he could yet become a top player, under the right manager and regime… something we clearly have not yet looked to do, given the way his development seems to have hit a brick wall since joining us.

[warksclaret]

Maybe Sunderland would consider Twine + £7m and we get Jack Clarke. Now he would be an asset in the Championship

Does he really have time on his side? Twine will 25 when the season starts. He’s only really got 5-6 seasons of peak football left

[Woodleyclaret]

Conway at Bristol looks a decent prospect cash and Twine maybe worth a bid ?

[Newcastleclaret93]

Or even better just offer them Obafemi and Twine for Conway

Bristol City do want him. They have told their fans that they are trying to get him but said the £5m fee might be too much.

[elwaclaret]

ONLY? That’s two three year contracts hitting his peak in three-four.

[warksclaret]

If so the balls in their court to negotiate. Its never stopped us going after certain players where the club wants more than we expect to pay

Agree with the crux of this Holty but I think Delcroix would **** the champ in all honesty. Be absolutely fine as backup CB/LCB/LB. He was good when deployed at LCB at Villa/Spurs (cup)

[GetIntoEm]

i dont see the fuss with Twine, when he had opportunities for us he didnt take them, barring that class free kick.

he's clearly not good enough for what we want/need and thats shown by a pretty unremarkable championship season this year.

if we can get 4m i think it'll be a real good deal all round.
