Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
Didn’t Ollie Watkins start out as a winger in the lower leagues?
I wonder if we have the same vision for Twine, turning him into a striker eventually.

Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
I don’t admit to having seen much of him but from what I’ve seen he doesn’t look like a striker. Yes, he scored a lot of goals last season but many of them were long range strikes and free kicks.
Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
Yes, agree we still need a striker. Don't know much about Twine but I don't think he's that.AwayClaret wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 1:01 pmI hope we will be bringing in a striker. The current crop have/had injuries recently and 2 are getting on a bit now and may not fit how Kompany wants us to set up. Vydra may be OK but he's out for a while and Richardson is guess work as to whether he's up to it or not. IMO we definitely need to bring in a striker.
Edit that's if Twine isn't starting as a striker.

Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
I think he has played as striker at MK. Not 100% sure but may even started up front in his last game for them. Either way he may have potential to play as a striker. Lots of players find new positions while they are still finding their feet in the game at a young age.

Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
An interesting look at Twine’s underlying data from last season - aside from the headlines goals / assists.

I was commenting on his position which is why it was a reply to another post. It was not whether he’s a good addition or not.GodIsADeeJay81 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 1:27 pmSomeone who can hit the target regularly from distance and free kicks is a good addition.

Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
No doubts from the above stats he is not a striker, he sets up the striker with cunning passes and shoots himself from range. Very few touches in the box for example. That’s totally fine, but we may need a mobile striker too if Cornet is off.

Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
Obviously we wait to see what system VK uses but if it’s the same as what Anderlecht used last season then I see Twine playing from the left. Kompany’s wide men drift quite narrow in between the lines. Interestingly, here are the heat maps of Refaelov (Anderlecht left sided player) and Twine last season (Twine 1st Refaelov 2nd) - quite similar:

Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
Interesting information again but I don't think they are that similar. The second cleary dominating the left whereas the first more central. As you say it will be interesting to see how VK deploys him and I suppose our squad at the end of the transfer window will have a bearing on that eg McNeil.RVclaret wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 1:59 pmObviously we wait to see what system VK uses but if it’s the same as what Anderlecht used last season then I see Twine playing from the left.

Welcome to Burnley, Scott Twine! All the best for the years ahead. Hope he falls in love with our community as much as I expect us, given all the excitement, to fall in love with him.

Maybe it will put an end to my comment every time we get a free kick near the penalty area. Which will it be, wall or row Z?BuryClaret wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 11:39 amFinally someone who can score a free kick.

Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
Of the players mentioned so far this was the one I felt would be a very good signing.
Seems he plays in the area of the pitch we have been badly lacking in quality for a long time and the Championship is a less daunting challenge for him than the Premier League probably would have been.
Yes, an exciting new signing !

Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
For MK Dons in a 442 he's played up front
In a 352 he's played up front
In a 433 he's played up front on the left of the 3
So I'd say he's more a striker than attacking midfielder or winger
Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
You know more about him than me - didn’t realise he was a striker and I thought he was an attacking midfielder. But that's good news as he will certainly give us something different, although I accept my knowledge of him is very limited apart from reading his stats.

Definitely more of an attacking midfielder / shadow striker if anything. See the heat map above that I posted.

Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
To be fair he has played cam, left wing and striker for MK. Whether that's been due to injuries or trying him out on the odd occasion. Whatever the case it means he should be comfortable in different positions should we need to adapt to opponents before hand or in game. Which is brilliant trait to have.
Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
Quote from him last season
"I think my best position is a No 10. I would've said striker two years ago but I'm also more of a No 8 now, where I can roam into space and try and hurt the opposition. I think that's where best suits me."

I'm happy with this signing
Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
Absolutely. From the little I’ve watched he has an eye for a pass, an eye for goal, a little floating on his feet to create space and can ping a free kick in however he certainly does not have the rhino hide to keep the ball and roll the opposition this way and that…
Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
Call me negative, but does anybody else think this ‘great club, great people’ mantra that we keep pushing in the media is a little bit over the top?
Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
Kompany mentioned it numerous times in his own press conference upon being appointed and he mentioned it again in the Scott Twine video when they introduced him to Alan Pace.
Just seems a bit too scripted.
Re: ARTICLE: Twine unravelled
Not sure what else he's gonna say on appointment but can't see anything wrong with the manager saying it's a great club with great people - at worst it's harmless.
