I think you have to consider as well that he's played most of his career in the lower leagues earning **** all, and he's at the age now where he's probably thinking about life after football. The contract Bournemouth offered (3.5 years and probably far more than what we're paying) could have a massive impact on his long term financial security. In that context I can't blame him for putting his interests first and forcing the move.

Morison says the club got what they wanted, so as far as I can see this is the best possible outcome for everyone.

As a Wales fan, I just wish he'd gone to a club where he won't be sat on the bench most of the time.
