So Benson wasn't the bargaining chip to allow Twine to leave.

I don’t think there was a bargaining chip to be honest, Carvalho became available (a big upgrade for us), we managed to get him, that made twine surplus. We save money and he got a move elsewhere where he’d play more.

No hard feelings and a win win win for everyone involved.

What about the fans who have Twine on the back of their City shirt?
 
So much for only wanting players who want to play for us. It was obvious to anyone that Benson was holding out for Southampton. That's 2 weeks wasted.

Normally not a problem but when your in desperate need for players it's stupid to waste half a window on someone that didnt fancy the move in the first place.

Carvalho is more expensive than Twine.

Who says we wasted time? Baz has been indicating Benson wasn't likely almost since it was reported.

You say this as if its the only target we've been focusing on for 2 weeks. I would imagine there's a lot of spinning plates

We’ll have clawed a lot back in shirt sales. People tend to buy shirts with shorter names rather than long.

We sold a shed load for Jacob Greaves, Lewie Coyle & Ozan Tufan but hardly any for Shane Long when he was here. That’s why the club were happy to refund at the time,
