Kieffer didn’t really build any affiliation with the fans I don’t think. Last year was behind closed doors so he’s played about 9 games at the CCS with fans. Can’t blame him for going but it’s sad the way it ended as if he’d stayed here for the next 3 years he could’ve spearheaded the attack and made himself a club legend if he bangs in 100 goals over 4-5 seasons.

But time isn’t really on his side and he’s obviously felt like his PL shot is slipping away, and he doesn’t really owe the club anything so can’t blame him for going.

I think Bournemouth will go up but he will barely start a game in the Prem, they spend big money and they won’t go into the season with Kieffer as no.2 striker. I think it’ll end up with him wondering whether he made the right decision to go after barely playing in the PL and sold to a championship high flyer within 2 years.
