I’d prefer to get a central midfielder and get rid of Bacuna or Pack?

If we can bring in a good player at a good price now then why not?

He might have many more suitors in the summer.
Morrisson is a starter and you'd have to assume we would try to shift flint in the summer, so better to be giving game time to his replacement rather than him.

I'm not too sure on Brown, the SPL isn't the greatest standard, and not sre how long he has left on his contract.

Yes I avoided pointing out that this was another expression capable of different meanings because I really don't want this interesting thread side tracked into something negative , but fair enough .
Reluctantly , and against my better judgement I'll add that in both cases they're metaphors , so really they can mean anything you like can't they ?

Totally agree RJ. If he comes willingly and without acting like a primadonna , ( dare I say that ?), then he's a reasonable aquisition. Mind you, according to Niel Harris in his press conference this afternoon Morrison will be back very shortly , so maybe cover there isn't quite as urgent as it seemed. Flint will also only be a couple of weeks apparently and, whilst he's frankly bog standard at best, he can do a job at centre back without making too many cock ups.

I hesitate to get involved but you're just being silly because I disagreed with you on the politics board, and I wish you wouldn't.

We're chatting about football here , not having personal digs, so please let's not do that childish stuff.

Flint is a good player at this level, but he's not the future, and he doesn't work well alongside morrisson

Too alike, Morrison is far better in my view and I feel he is one of the best centre half's in the Championship and has been for some time .

I would agree with all of that

Simpson not in the Bournemouth squad for tonights game, which is obviously expected

I wonder where he will sit alongside our recent centre half's say from Roger Johnson 🤔

Ya, like saying John Wayne is a "dodgy Builder"

999 people out of 1000 would say a "journeyman", is someone who has had several clubs employ him and in this country means NOTHING ELSE !

journeyman
(dʒɜːʳnimən )
Word forms: plural journeymen
1. COUNTABLE NOUN
In former times, a journeyman was a worker who had finished learning a trade and who was employed by someone rather than working on his or her own.
2. COUNTABLE NOUN [oft NOUN noun]
If you refer to someone as a journeyman, you mean that they have the basic skill which their job requires, but are not very talented or original.
[journalism]
Douglas was a 29-year-old journeyman fighter, erratic in his previous fights.


You must write to both the Oxford New English Dictionary and Collins and correct them !

There’s even a ‘made up’ word for the opposite of journeyman in football parlance....oneclubman, so journeyman is sort of self explanatory.

I'm out of this conversation then. Some nasty people frankly.

I wonder if Simpson’s apparent second thoughts on a move here might have something to do with him logging onto a Cardiff City message board to find out what their supporters were saying about him :hehe:
