Apparenlty King was really good for Bournemouth last season especially towards the end, some their fans seem to rate him as one the players of the season. Why would it be "more likely Afobe than Wilson"? I'm failing to see any logic here. Edited June 30, 2016 by bobzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Because Afobe hasn't made much on an impression since signing for Bournemouth and during that time King's performance has improved vastly. If Bournemouth could get their money back for Afobe they might just be prepared to sell. Wilson's been injured but he's extremely highly rated, not long back, as in last month, it was reported that West Ham and Tottenham were battling for his signature. I don't think that there's much chance at all that he will be dropping a division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Although Afobe's goal ratio isn't bad for Bournemouth. I still think he'd be more likely than Wilson, just because of the fact that Wilson is so highly rated. I'd be happy of either WIlson, king or Afobe. But for now it's just a rumour.

Afobe only signed for Bournemouth in January (club record fee from memory?) and has done well for them. There's just no way he's bottom of their striker pile.

useless Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I didn't say he was bottom of their striker pile, just that we'd more likely sign Afobe than Wilson. If Wilson were to leave I'd imagine it would cost a lot more than it cost Bournemouth to buy Afobe. Also by Bournemouth fans accounts King was excellent for them towards the end of the season, and some have him down as player of the season.

I second your 2nd hand opinion! If we got, for example, King and McCormack I'd consider our attack complete assuming we don't lose anybody important. Meaning Grealish, Adama and Ayew essentially. We should also be able to throw Green into the mix. Pipe dream at the minute but fundamentally sound. We'd still need a couple of midfielders, a goalkeeper and another defender before were close to competing IMO. A tough ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trickster Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Could be some truth in the Bournemouth thing, they have signed another striker today. Lys Mousset from Le Havre. Wilson would be a great signing if it was him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to move those players on, or we tempt them into letting them go, what aversion would they have to selling us players? The Elphick deal all seems to have been conducted amicably and professionally. 2nd point - Who gives a ****? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So man for man they're a lot better than our current shower of shite. I'd happily buy from any team if it improves us and gets Richards, Lescott & co out the door.

Not sure regarding Whispers but seem to remember most of the posts were reasonably clever using the information about but not itk at all. Was it not him that said about Sherwood's facials?

I'd rather have McCormack and Bamford mainly because Wilson did his ACL and that kind of injury has a history of being a long-term problem. And with 2 strikers, you'll have a couple more options up top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
