Depends what you mean by dreadful. Didn't they lose 4 games all year?

Probably depends if a prem team wants him. If another championship team gets him then it would be a big disappointment.

To be fair, pretty much all of them are saying him and one other player are their only two prem quality players. Probably not fussed though because they've done fine without him since his injury. I really wanted Piroe but maybe he doesn't represent good value.

I think the reality is that if we get 45 million that 99% of fans are going g to be satisfied. It's really only a weird subset that won't be but that's the same group of people that say things like if a player kicks off that we should out them in the reserves for the rest of the season rather than sell them. They aren't serious people.

Indeed. We can say to all future wonder kids that we got relegated, had our worst ever season and still turned a young prospect into a top player that the best teams would pay top dollar for. This sale will assist us in getting in a load more top youngsters. Ameyew will do the same when he goes in a couple of years.

Boo. Not sure I want that to be our major attacking signing.

I think what last night did do was just confirm that currently we really have no viable alternative to Bazunu. It's becoming a bit of a crisis to be honest and the club have shown no inclination to act.

It has to be Smallbone and jwp if he's here.

I think the best thing about this is that it consolidates who we would definitely not want to start the season with.

Agreed this team is basically our reserves.

That's good because only Manning out of that entire defence should be playing the first game.

Precisely baby worth remembering that most of those defenders won't be playing and certainly not in those positions.

Any, idea why Charles is being played where he is?

He had a slight injury on Saturday and should play this Saturday.

And actually I'd rather sell him over the other attacking ones we might sell

What are you talking about you lunatic? I quite like talksport as it happens, I'm simply saying that us not being willing to sell jwp for 25 million is widely known and has been reported by a number of reporters. He's not being sold for that amount.

If we sell for that amount with nothing else I'll apologise to you. Until then I'll stay firm in my belief that there is no chance.

Talksport now reporting g we aren't willing to sell jwp for 25 million. That isn't news...

I think the more correct thing to say is that there doesn't appear to be a pressing financial need for us to sell as quickly as possible. There absolutely is a need for us to get in more players and so we need to create space in the squad so it's a different type of pressure. Lets hope Lavia goes this week.

Have we told him that?

I think we can all agree that 35 is fair.

Aren't you an arsenal supporter?

Not a surprise given personal terms were still to be agreed. I wouldn't want to deal with him either.

I can only speak for myself but there's no way I'm going to sit in a stadium with thousands of Bournemouth fans taking the piss out of us in a meaningless game. I might consider Saturday.

Lol. Good luck with that.
