doddisalegend Posted 22 May, 2017 Share Posted 22 May, 2017 Forster wanting to go isn't a new thing last few weeks, heard he was going pretty early in season. Question is who is going to want him? Can't believe any of the big boys would consider him an upgrade. Even most of the mid table sides have better options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchards Posted 22 May, 2017 Share Posted 22 May, 2017 And the chairman coming out with his statement last week was to tell the current players we are dealing with the football situations. Basically telling them to stay cool as Reed is dealing with the current problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we interest you in a Forster for £15m, or a Shane Long for £18m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErwinK1961 Posted 22 May, 2017 Share Posted 22 May, 2017 Who are the 6 / 7 if you don't mind me asking, would like to see if it tots up with my suspicions, from the snippets I've been given. Bertrand Long Forster Cedric Tadic Jay Rod Austin Only two of those I'd be bothered about leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 22 May, 2017 Share Posted 22 May, 2017 Not a problem if Forster, Long, Jay Rod go. I like Tadic but I also want to see Boufal given some more support and worked into the side as an integral part so wouldn't be too annoyed if Tadic leaves. Opens up a bit more space for Sims, as well, who I think could be really good. Bertrand... well, it's a shame but he's been a bit half-arsed lately so no point losing any sleep over it. Cedric - again, a shame but I think we could sign a decent enough replacement. He's a good player but he's not so good that he will be really hard to replace. The real disappointment will be if VVD leaves, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 22 May, 2017 Share Posted 22 May, 2017 The worry for me is that if Ryan leaves, the club will try to stick with Mcqueen and Targett. Both aren't good enough to be regular first 11 players for where we 'aspire' to be - in my opinion. If we pocket £20-25m for Ryan and then promote those two, it's a recipe for regression. I could be totally wrong of course!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 22 May, 2017 Share Posted 22 May, 2017 Would be a decent master plan if they didn't flog off the best ones....! Quite - the haste to sell Shaw was almost indecent. We probably couldn't have stopped it happening and got a good price but rather undermined the vision. Ryan leaving and no quality replacement = relegation battle. McQueen has looked decent but over a whole season? RB, Cedric and VVD are key for me in terms of retention, not bothered about any of the others. If VVD does go, half the money on a CB replacement/s and half on a really good centre-mid with bite to go alongside OR. I agree with what Benji said earlier about seeing more of Sims next term - but in a different system under a new manager, the current set up would ruin a fine natural talent. Otherwise, keep OR, JWP, Redmond and Gabbi - rest is available at near our valuation. Boufal maybe keep - may do better in a more positive regime.

Window Cleaner Posted 23 May, 2017 Share Posted 23 May, 2017 (edited) how the hell can Bournemouth pay 130K a week? Allegedly Harry Kane only earns a 100K a week.. The most probable answer is that they can't and they don't. These "a week" figures are usually way off the mark. He was able to leave on some sort of exit free clause I think so probably got a bit of a signing on bonus which is then divided over his contract length to give an exceptional "a week" sum.

SuperSAINT Posted 24 May, 2017 Share Posted 24 May, 2017 EVERTON IN SECOND BOWLER BID Everton are preparing a second bid for QPR teenager Josh Bowler after their initial £3m offer was turned down, SSNHQ understands. The West London club rejected Everton’s initial bid yesterday with payment schedules thought to be the major sticking point. Bowler attracted an initial offer of £1.5m, with the rest of the fee due in add-ons. The 18-year-old midfielder, who signed his first professional contract in February this year, made his debut for Rangers in the 4-0 defeat at Norwich on the final day of the Championship season. He joined the club in 2013 after being released by Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFKA South Woodford Posted 24 May, 2017 Share Posted 24 May, 2017 That was they. They also had the Portugal flag today. Bertrand seemed to know them well and even gave them a cuddle. You are right in that we aren't Ryan's friends, but he does know two of our group from spending time with them at the last two players awards, the masks are Ryan masks that one of the guys got made and can be seen being worn by Ryan in the club's lap of appreciation footage on Facebook. To be honest he didn't give away any secrets or revelations when he came over, just appreciated the effort we had made for him as we all give both him & Cedric a lot of personal encouragement each match especially the guy who got the masks made, who is always shouting encouragement to him every time he comes near him.
