Some good business done by Bournemouth this season. Young British players with a point to prove. Wish we would follow their model.

A fantastic move for him, he should get the chance go straight into the starting Xl as they are leaking goals.
Good signing
Still wonder why we never went in for Brooks. We paid a similar amount for Murphy and Reid.
Unlikely under this manager :hehe:.Quote:

Yeah, that too. Brooks shines in his current environment, so if he is using it as a stepping-stone then he has made the right choice.Quote:

I don’t think our “style” of football would suit some type of players either ! For instance, reading the article on Camarasa it said he was more suited to British game than Spanish game hence why Real Betis let him go on loan.
This is also why it would be difficult to change manager now if the board felt Warnock was not going to be able to keep us up , we simply do not have the squad to try and play a possession based game
Nothing like that brummie captain we got now either....he's almost Welsh!!:hehe:Quote:

I know what you mean and I agree. It does my head in when I hear some of the accents of our players. Jack Collison was on 5 Live the other night - he's straight from Albert Square. However, I can't see how we'd ever field a competitive Welsh team with only full Welshmen in it. Most countries take advantage of the player eligibility criteria. Unless the rules change significantly, then we'd be at a huge disadvantage to not pick players like Mepham, who not only is eligible to play for us but who has come through the various age grades.Quote:
