Come in guys. You don’t go buying Brazilian strikers from Belgium who are 22 then go and sign the likes of these two. We are trying to take an approach like Spurs or Leicester, I just don’t see players like that even being part of the conversation. Morning Trent, with the Forest issues this week, would we have any interest in Lolley do you think and would Forest entertain a sale? Personally, I would take him for 15m or less if it were possible. Presume Lolley would jump to us like a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you like this word so much? His record for Southampton is like 1 goal every 5 or so games, yes, utter garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, almost as irritating as everyone's obsession with Championship players. We're surely casting the net far wider than Championship players and premier league no hopers.

Farlz Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Targett is a good signing I think. Big improvement on Neil Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to have good delivery. Thanks. Hmmmm, seems to be a little trend developing with our 'Targetts' that all of them are the best players in the championship.. Targett had a wonderful season before Injury, Butland had a wonderful season before Injury... Webster was solid in a display against such and such, Phillips is Leeds best player... this is all well and good. But to be rumoured to be blowing £20m a piece on avg. on 4 unproven premier league players shall we say is a little bit concerning imo. I don't buy this "£10m is the New £20m" talk. Maybe that is the case, but I still think that money could be used elsewhere than those four, imo. I just hope a few more 'better arrivals' will follow.

Johnnyp Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Targett be a very good signing. Has the energy needed and the passing game for a left back at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure for that money. And yes I think most of Championship players we've been linked with are worth extra Edited June 29, 2019 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Would of thought that Jordan Lukaku on a loan to buy arrangement may have been a good shout . Time will tell will Targett have slight concerns but I’m sure they see a player who can be improved and he isn't Hutton or Taylor which is a bonus.

However as Leicester in particular have shown in recent years there are some very good players to be found in the Championship and we should absolutely be looking at that market as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he wishes to leave for first team first football? Hes young, English, has both championship and Premier league experience. Seems a bit pricey but I guess that’s what you pay for young talent these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Can't imagine Villa are thrilled about that price getting out. I would not sell Mings for less than £25m if I was Bournemouth chairman. Keep him as bench player if we don't pay up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post omariqy Posted June 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2019 From what I can see we have a clear strategy to buy young, english based players with potential upside that can form the core of our side whilst we establish ourselves as a premier league club. You can add the flair and the more riskier signings around that. The key is that the players you buy fit the system and the way you want to play. On top of that you want players with the right mentality to succeed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 £14m for Targett really isn't all that excessive, and if anything it should drive the price of Mings down, rather than up, Targett is younger than Mings has more Premier League experience, is less injury prone, and was just as important to Fulham when they went up as Mings was to us, so no way can Bournemouth use this as an excuse to ask more for Mings, if anything it should be the opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with every syllable of this now I've removed the injury bit. It's a crazy price. Does show we're absolutely loaded though, which is nice.
