He wants to play for Howe. 

 

If you had watched the final game of the season you would understand why he might want to play there rather than here.

 

 

Yet Howe will leave before his contract is mid way through - I think he would start for either us or Bournemouth

But they were good enough to outplay us for large parts of the match when we played them last game of last season.

I agree, we made Andre Gray and Josh King look like Suarez and Messi. But Yeah and if we carried on we would of been relegated 100%

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Fair play to him. I'm going to make the assumption that the wage packet wasn't the deciding factor. Think he would have been a cracking buy.

Slimani missed a sitter and Vardys goal should have stood. Yes, we did.

They were almost down to a complete second string by the last half hour. And they still played the better football. We wanted the win more which is why we came strong last thirty

 

anyway - this thread didn't deserve to be opened in the first place so it's about time it was locked.

Nailed on Bournemouth signing. £20m. With Defoe signing today they're making some smart moves.

We were too late to this. Frustratingly.

Good luck to them.. 

They certainly are punching above their weight! 

[Bryn]

I'd love Ake here.

[JayT - Always A Fox!]

I like Ake but he looks nailed on for Bournemouth doesn't he. Out of the 2 I think I would have Evans though for short term.

We can ask why we weren't in for him...  

[les-tah]

i assume we didn't try  no offence but we are a mountain of a club compared to Bournemouth. Assume we have bigger and better signings on the radar even though Ake was quality..

...or none

[lgfualol]

Rudkin just bid 14m, unaware he was already a Bournemouth player for 20m.

Because our recruitment policy is dire perhaps? 

[CyprusFox]

Lock thread. We've got more important things to worry about. 

[General Smuts]

Really good signing for Bournemouth who are quietly doing the business in this window. Defoe, Begovic and Ake - all top quality and all straight into the first team

[Guest Col city fan]

20 mill to Bournemouth. 

Excellent business.

Defoe on a free too.... that's a real coup for them.
