Is it arrogance? or is it expecting a degree of professional integrity. Riley McGree has lost a huge amount of game time for his club, a club that pays him extraordinarily well, due to an injury that is exacerbated by physical activity. To expect a player to put club first and be a little more...

Which would make the Smith signing even less likely, as there is no sell on potential for a 33yr old journeyman, it's all dead money

12 in 72 in the championship would suggest not. That's not snobbery, its the fact he is a mile off the ability fans would want rumoured signings to be. Plus he is 33 so he isn't going to be getting any better.

Can't see it, seems like lazy journalism. Unless we are signing him as an alternative to hoying Dael fry up front for he last 5 mins when needing a goal

Yes, but they are independent of the players playing contract. And that only happens if the terms are specifically set out in the initial deal between the clubs. A bit like release clauses that are only valid for certain time frames or in certain dates. For example we might have had a sell...

They absolutely 100% do not. The only relevance, as another poster has said, is the amount Bournemouth can demand will be higher. The sell on fee is part of a contract between the clubs for releasing the players playing registration. The contract between a player and a club is an entire...

My bad!

Exactly! and he is streets ahead of the rest. Its not exactly rav, boksic, jimmy, viduka for the striker postions, or even Ziege, Franck or George for the other full back spot.

This thread highlights the absolute dross we've had at right back over the years!! Everyone having to stick Geremi ( who is a fantastic player obviously) in at RB and he played almost exclusively at RM for us! Schwarzer Ziege Southagte Pogatetz Geremi Boateng Juninho Merson Mendi Rav...

It worries me when I see this caveat put on players. It's the same with Barlaser in CM I'm not it saying it isn't correct, but its essentially saying they aren't good enough to do their job unless there are more people around to do it.

A risk given his age, injury record and the likely financial outlay. My issue is I don't want to see us use the transfer surplus we have built up from Rogers, lath and the the likely departure of Rav and HH, on short term investments with no re-sale opportunity. The squad does need some more...

One of those players someone will take a chance on, based purely on the fact he came through at Liverpool and they somehow convinced someone to pay £23 million for him once!!!

The age profile, young yet with first team experience, players from leagues that have quite a lot of success in the EPL generally, the odd experienced player in there. Players with sell on potential etc. I like how they haven't tried to be too clever, by bringing in players in the cheaper price...

The signings are the exact profile of player that you should target as a promoted club. No guarentee any of them are any good of course, but all are young with good reputations. Only needs one or two to be a success and they'll break, even if they come down and need to offload a couple. Then...

A modern day Lewis Wing, minus the shooting ability
