I thought it was a decent bit of business, although I can't say Ive ever seen a club loan out 3 1st team players to clubs in the same division and sell one to a lower league club. This is stark contrast to spending over £10m in the summer on players.
Just another bizarre season under the ownership of Vincent Tan.

Clearly a fire sale and a mad dash to reduce costs as fast as possible. Interesting what he says about Eddie Howe.
Next season we will see a complete Russell Slade team and that will be the time to judge?

I was surprised that it was Bournemouth but not surprised by the loan. Kenwyne hasn't scored in two months now and, although he pretty much saved us game after game earlier on, that's really not enough for a premier league striker - whichever carrot thought that.
FFP. Nothing wrong with shipping out poor value for money if there are takers. You've got to think that next seasons side stands a much better chance than we did this year. Slade has started to build a side that wants success in this division.

Bang goes Bournemouth free flowing attacking football played on the deck . I really find it hard to imagine why such a good footballing team would ever even consider .taking kenwynne get is shite.
The above comments will come back to haunt you.
We have nothing to play for so saving a potential quarter of a million on 1 players wages between now and the end of the season seems wise to me.
Why? We're not playing them again.

I will indeed be their loose woman. Unless we draw. Then someone else must be their loose woman.Clearly a fire sale and a mad dash to reduce costs as fast as possible.

There is a much longer - and very interesting - version of the interview in the (Bournemouth?) Dail Echo below:
http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/cherries/clubnews/128 64650._/?
Including:
Do you think you have played your last game for Cardiff?
"I don't know. I absolutely don't know. Whatever the thought process behind all of this is, it's not down to me. In a couple of months or about three months, you'll probably find out what's the next step and, hopefully, it's a step in the right direction, whichever direction it is."
What explanation were you given as to why Cardiff were letting you go?
"It's a funny situation. We've been dealing with a funny situation all season. Basically, I was just told I was going, more or less. I didn't really have a say in the matter. I think it was already done before I got the phone call so I'm here."
Do you feel let down by Cardiff at all?
"I'm sorry, I don't carry those feelings around with me. Football, we know, is a business. It's a short career and you have to make the best of it. Things like this happen, sometimes every year for people. So, at this present time, I've been with Cardiff for one year and now I'm here until the end of the season. Where I am in a couple of months, whether it be here or abroad, who knows? That's the life of a football player so I'm just looking at the moment for now."
Nathan Blake said he felt you were misused at Cardiff. Would you go along with that?
"Well, I think he probably has his opinion of what was needed for Cardiff. Cardiff went through a situation this year that has been very topsy-turvy from the beginning of the season until now. We have lost managers, changed managers, lost managers, changed managers and then you have the uprooting of players, some who you thought were fixtures. They left, for whatever reason, and the team has been unstable all season. So, for what Cardiff is going to be, you are going to see that properly next season. Well, hopefully."
Also:
Do you feel you fit in with Bournemouth's style of play?
"To be really honest, I think my style of play is mistaken. For the teams that I've played in, of course, they adopted the more direct situation, based on ability. But away from here with my national team, I don't play that style of football so there are quite a few coaches and managers that know that about me. I don't think the manager here didn't know that before he enquired about me so, hopefully, I will fit in well and be able to lend some experience and, of course, get them promoted."

"It's a funny situation. We've been dealing with a funny situation all season."
I reckon the club has dealing with a 'funny situation' for the last three seasons.
Thinly veiled 'I'm looking for a move to the MLS' interview imo
Fair enough.
Its only bizarre because of the bizarre bloody wages they are on, balanced against their output in performance, no brainier for me, and good business, we are unique and naive to set up these contracts in the first place , by the way not Slade's doing.
