Either way, even if the manager doesn't fancy him, I would imagine Bournemouth need to sign another striker before he can leave.
I don't blame him at all for forcing a move to the premier League. he was in a Cardiff city side that were going nowhere, and it was his last chance to play at the top level. if he didn't do it he would probably always wonder what if.Quote:

He was excellent when he first joined and I think with the current front players we have , he could be a big success here again. We desperately need somebody who can put the ball in the net on at least a semi regular basis and I don’t see that being either Etete or Ugbo.Quote:

Terry Taylor going to Charlton. £150k, so not an option even if we were interested.

Some are guessing that the "dominant" CM is Ross Barkley.
I hope we are not letting other targets slip by while we wait for people to make their mind up and that we move quick to secure others if we get knocked back.Quote:

We actually seem quite agile this window.

You don't honestly believe that a player only capable of commanding a salary of just £5,000 a week in the Championship, is going to earn £500,000 in Saudi Arabia?Quote:

A private plane today has flown from Nice, to Cardiff, to Bournemouth. Twitter gone crazy on speculating: If it comes back to Cardiff could it be Barkley and Moore? :sherlock:
Of course not but I do suggest that the salary available in Saudi is substantially more than available at City and seems to be the governing factors for many of those moving to Saudi.Quote:

Yeah it’s was all over twitter yeaterday, probably guessing because of the plan route.
Would be an interesting one if he did sign.
Barklay the Bluebird on Twitter? Sounds apt.
Would be quality in the championship - wasn't long ago he was in the England setup.
strange one though, I'm sure he will get plenty of offers, and we've got bigger prioroties to strengthen
Surely not?Quote:

Our midfield was noticeably weaker once Ralls went off injured, we need better than the likes of Rinomhota and Adams if we want to improve and if a player of Barkley's quality is available and willing to join then we should be looking to bring them inQuote:

Barclay Bob ? Maybe we'll sign Nat West and Ally Facks too. Only joking mate.Quote:
