Bournemouth table £10 mil bid for Mepham

Good news if he makes the step up. If our new "promising" generation are gonna succeed at international level then as many players playing at the highest level is exactly what we need. But let's hope he has a good debut on the 2nd game of the season, eh?

Not sure that he'll go straight into their first team so in that respect it would maybe more beneficial for him to be loaned back to Brentford for a season where he will play regularly. However, long term learning your trade under Eddie Howe has to be beneficial in helping him fulfil his undoubted potential. Amen to your last sentence!

Yeah, I think you're right about him slowly being introduced to the first team but I'd be surprised if they loaned him back for a season. Despite the riches of the Premier League, Bournemouth's budget isn't the biggest, so £10m would be a sizeable dent for an investment. I personally can see him coming off the bench and then gradually stamping a regular claim.

I also agree with Eddie Howe being a good manager to help his development. He gets his team playing nice fluid football, and has done so with a team that looks fairly average on paper.

He’s the sort of player we should sign to replace one of our ageing centre backs,he can also play right back.He will replace Ashley Williams in Welsh team for World Cup games,brilliant against Mexico!

Zohore bullied him big time. Mistake prone - he's nowhere near Prem ready. Needs at least another season in the Championship. But he's "Welsh" I guess...
