“He made the League One Team of the Season this year, so even though the club is not basking in money, they do have new owners and he could want them to pay him more.”

“So we think a lot of Scott Twine, and he will be a really good signing for MK Dons who play 3-4-3 and like that inside 10.
“He can play as a left 10 for MK Dons and I can see him being a really good fit for them.
“I think, though, in our playing squad we already have two players in Michael Jacobs and Ronan Curtis who can play in the similar position.”
