Bod

30k a week apparently

One step forward, two steps back. Just when I thought we were getting somewhere ..

I had a feeling it was too good to be true. I was hoping we'd have cook for another season, not too bothered about Taylor TBH.

On the other hand he's not a goal scorer but about the only genuinely fast midfielder we had. Maybe the new uns can raise the pace By the way B'mouth capacity is 11.5K., Man u/Lpool/away will make that more bearable I guess.

That's the mad nature of modern football finances I guess. Ignoring Sky money for a second. £1300 per seat just too pay for Cook's transfer. Say it is £40 a ticket. That's every single seat for virtually a whole season before any other player, wages, running costs, etc. World has gone shitbat crazy.

No question, now. From the horse's mouth, so to speak:

Fuck him. See ya. Count your money. Thanks for 15th, on your way pal.

Good luck to the lad, deserves better than the revolving comedy shitshow at LUFC. I can't even be arsed to look for our results anymore most weeks, if I was him I certainly wouldn't be wasting any more of a promising career there.

Precisely..I mean every decent player aspires to play for Bournemouth don't they?

Hope the electric atmosphere down there doesn't get too much for him.

Are we sure that he decided to go, or if Cellino decided to offload him? Anyway, it's the latest in a long line:

Milner
Lennon
Snodgrass
Howson
Etc......

(or Etc might still be on the books)

king_of_the_slums

Talk of Howson coming back.

Must be bad if he's chosen AFCB over LUFC. That being said he gets Prem football, a proper set up with Howe and triples his wages.

On the plus side if AFCB struggle and he shines (sound familiar?) he'll be off after 2 years and we must have at least a 15% sell-on surely?

Some Swedish defender,Ekstrand in early next week apparently.
The Leon Osman link seems to be gathering pace too,same with Bridcutt.

Ex Watford supposed to be good. Virtually a full team bought then.

We're trying to get £15Mil for one of ours from Bournemouth.

It's like they are spending their spending money by 5.30pm on Friday night.

Jordan Ibe...is he worth 15 m LS?...Don't know much about the kid,just seems a lot to me.

luxury_scruff

He could be good when he forgets what he has to do, very natural player.

Become a bit prescriptive recently, bombs down the wing, cuts inside, blasts over the bar.

Needs to play down the middle and use his power.

Jurgen (our best signing this summer), prefers loads of fast lads pressing defenders and the ball finds its way into the net.

TV money's driving this. Job's fucked.

Divs like Aidy Ward can't believe their luck.

This lad sounds good:

...apart from this bit:

The Swede made 100 appearances for the Hornets but damaged his anterior cruciate ligament, his meniscus and fractured a bone in March 2015 and has not played competitively since.

I'm sure he's cheap, though.

Mitaman

anterior cruciate ligament,

I thought this was usually the 'career finishing injury'?

If that doesn't finish him a contract with MC will.
