And just seen John Percy reporting Bournemouth about to spend £25m on Alex Scott of Bristol. I mean if ever you need proof of Norwich and Bournemouth being on different levels, that surely has to be it.

Regardless of how many times you quote my post it still reminds me of Josh to Cardiff. Sideways at best. 

[The Real Buh 3,482]

Very happy for Leeds to be gazumped 

I wish Aarons the best, he’s done nothing but play pretty much every game for us since he debuted at a very high level. Top guy!

[Capt. Pants 4,284]

I think Bournemouth are very fortunate to have Burnley, Sheff Utd and Luton in the same league as them.

Not to mention Everton, Wolves and Fulham.

Makes it even more frustrating we were a complete humiliation.

Yep, and didn't throw his toys out the pram when we turned down offers in the past. Fantastic pro, wish him every success.

And regardless of how pithy the reply, they couldn't be any more different.

They’re a prem team. We ain’t. And showing no signs of heading there anytime soon. Even if he comes down with them he has a better chance of going back up than he does here. Plus if he plays out of skin this year he may even get a move next summer. 

That was the situation when Josh went to Cardiff.

I don't think it's pithy to have an opinion. Why do you think it is?

Cardiff had just been promoted. This is Bournemouth's seventh Premier League in eleven. 

The differences are endless.

Your opinion wasn't pithy. Your reply was.

It's Pink Un 101 isn't it? You clearly can't accept you're wrong on the discussion so you make a terse comment about the fact I'm quoting your post. 

Something I believed you were above. How wrong I was.

I still think that it is a strange move for Max - despite PL status, Bournemouth are the smallest of the 4 options open to him. As you suggest, I guess he is "backing himself" to prove to other PL clubs that he worthy of another transfer even if Bournemouth go down, which is pretty likely I'd have thought.

How can I be wrong about what something reminds me of.

So moving the conversation on - how much of this cash gets reinvested into new signings in our squad, do you think? And I’m not talking about covering costs of players already signed. Do you think there will be incomings? Where should they be focussing positionally if so? 
 

The cash won’t go far enough, clearly, but I still feel we lack a defensive midfielder, could be stronger at left back, and need a better no9.  I can’t see them tackling any of those issues. But hope to be proved wrong

Premier League wages. Leeds can't compete with that.

Good luck Max, hope it works out well, you've been a good servant.

If we can get some sort of wedge for Rashica as well that gives us a tidy sum at this level.

You would hope there is some sort of shortlist already drawn up.

We could of course just trouser the money.

Potentially more.

Indeed! potentially rising to £12m

I really don't think this will lead to any more deals being done. 

For me, if they sell Omobamodiele they'll be forced back into the market. 

Otherwise we have a pretty large squad already.

GK - Gunn, Krul, Reyes*
DR - Stacey, Fisher*
DL - Giannoulis, McCallum
DC - Duffy, Gibson, Andy O, Hanley, Tomkinson*
MR - Fassnacht, Rowe*, Springett*
ML - Onel, Placheta, Sainz
MC - McLean, Gibbs*, Sara, Nunez, Sorenson
FW:: Sargent, Barnes, Idah 

So by my rough calculations that's a squad of 26 with six of those being U21. That's a pretty large squad as it is.

[Payno10 51]

I’m not happy about but it, but at least he’s not going to Leeds! I’m not sure I would give him my best wishes if he went to Leeds in the same league as us! That would just be a bizarre move. 
 

I also know that he’s doesn’t need my best wishes. Which is a shame 😂😂

We had an elite manager but nobody thought so at the time. In fact with all our goals sold we were going to hell in a hand cart. 

Where do you think Bournemouth will finish this season?

A marginal improvement on last season 13th or thereabouts ?

It’s a deep squad but we may still see some churn. Hanley and Sorenson injured. Not sure that any of springett, Placheta ,Tompkinson or Mcallum are good enough. Wouldn’t be a shock to see any of those loaned out or sold if we could source better replacements.

A CB capable of covering RB and a midfielder able to step in for Kenny and Sara would be good I think.

I doubt it. But I don't watch any PL except when we're in it. But Max was targeted mercilessly when we were in it. Just as Jamal was. Great players for us in the champs though.

Yes ,one has a ground two and a half times the size, and a following way in excess of Bournemouth. Not so long ago they were playing in the 3rd division. Of course the income level is different, as it was at one point that of Wigan compared to Weds, but a few moments in the sun will not increase B'mouths following or build a bigger ground. Or are wee to have that Luton is a bigger club than Leeds because the former will bet receiving in excess of £120m ............ this season ?
