and he's still got his best years ahead of him. seems that the Bournemouth fans I've seen have said that he looks really good, then drops the occasional clanger.
similar to how ajayi was at the same age out on loan. if he can improve then we might have a real asset on our hands. if not we have a decent squad player in a position we need, for a reasonable price.

Let's hope he doesn't become more error prone, as Nelson and Morrison have been this season

Unless Ake is 5’4, Simpson is not 5’10

Re: City Bid accepted

for someone who is 6foot 4 he doesn't win many aerial duels, but that could also be down to the way Bournemouth set up.

The money can come from only one place and we know where that is. I simply don't understand where the implied criticism is coming from given the amount of financial support that has been forthcoming, not only from transfers, but to keep the club afloat.

There was a reason Benkovic wasn't playing for us, Bristol City or Leicester. I couldn't understand why Nelson wasn't dropped previously as were most on here. We saw why. It really isn't rocket science. Hope Simpson is a lot better, looks like he will be.

You've made a call on Benko, fair play to you. It doesn't matter about his time with us, what matters is the rest of his career. If he just peters out, then you'll be proved right, and those having a dig at you, proved wrong-time will tell :thumbup:

I think either Morrison or Flint will go in the summer if Simpson is a success especially if Brown is considered good enough to be in the squad?

Flint will go, if we sell Morrison we are absolutely crackers (unless we get a daft bid, which we won't). He's just turned 30 and is one of the few players we can depend on.

Exactly, the money is coming from nowhere else is it, but imagine where we’d be if we’d have had astute, switched on, modern thinking managers spending it over the Tan years?

Brown was Man of the Match for Livingstone away to Celtic yesterday. He played left back.

Wonder what they'll do with Brown. He'll have Simpson, Morrison, Flint and Nelson ahead of him so it makes sense for him to stay out on loan if he's playing.

It could be argued that a move to a new club won't be such a daunting prospect as if he had been a one-club man throughout his career.

he's been at Bournemouth since he was a kid though. sure at one point he was 178cms but now he isn't and they just haven't updated the data on the website in a long time

178 is on wiki, football stats sites etc , to be fair to RJK he does look tall in the photo.

Perhaps his agent gets his pictures photo shopped before release for daft clubs like us ??

Anyways this will all be sorted when we see him alongside Nelson looking like a Dennis Wise stand in.

I haven't got a clue. I thought he was out of contract last summer, and Transfermarkt doesn't know either.

Also, people's insistence that Simpson is 5'10 when you actually see that he isn't is real commitment. Respect.

that's the thing about information on the internet, once one bit of duff information gets out there it is cross referenced by many places.
Dave Gorman did an interesting bit on that a while back.

agree we won't truly know until we see him in action

if you look in the history that height was changed a few days ago, and it was previously 1.78m

Re: City Bid accepted

He's changed his mind. Medical cancelled. Transfer off. If this is right....

https://www.footballinsider247.com/e...-after-u-turn/

Jack Simpson’s move to Cardiff City has collapsed as the player has had second thoughts and changed his mind, Football Insider can reveal.

This site revealed earlier today Cardiff and Bournemouth had agreed a £750,000 fee for the centre-back.

A recruitment source has told Football Insider the medical was lined up but the U-turn means it is now off the table.

The 24-year-old is out of contract in the summer and the Cherries were hoping to cash in this month rather than lose him for free.

A graduate of Bournemouth’s academy, he has spent his entire career at Dean Court, apart from a loan spell at AFC Totton.

Despite his long association with the south coast outfit, he has played just 35 times for the club as he struggled to break into the team while they were in the Premier League.
