gwi1890 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 So the lads are back in training today, hopefully we should see some movement in the transfer window over the next 10 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting a tad nervous that it's now 3 weeks till the season starts. I hope we don't lose too many points at the start of the season otherwise were under pressure from the off. I'll probably cry if I see our team sheet on the opening game and I see Samatta and Trez in the starting eleven. I think this season's transfer window is going to be a "one off" - with covid, the late finish to the season, still no details of when crowds will be allowed into the stadiums... My guess is much of the business will still need to be done by the time the season kicks off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knutserov13 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Ryan Sessegnon, loan with option to buy? Doesnt seem like Mourinho rates him? Edited August 19, 2020 by Knutserov13 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They paid a lot of money for him and he hasn’t really done much for them. He was brilliant for Fulham, although it was in The Championship. I doubt they would let him go even on loan, good suggestion though Knutserov13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho is not know for promoting the yoof so it might be worth asking to see if his available for loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the kind of transfers we need to avoid. Overhyped championship fodder. In his breakthrough season he received praise, but only achieved a modest stats rating of 7.04. Unsurprisingly he struggled in the PL, as the players who tend to carry their championship form into the PL are the ones who were achieving ratings of 7.20+. Although this is only a rudimentary guide and are other things to consider, it is a bit of a warning sign. Personally I would be concerned about bringing in a championship player who didn't have the stats to back up the hype. Anyone going into the first team needs to hit the ground running, so players with potential are not going to help us kick on next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Bournemouth basically have done a Coventry. Gambled the house on staying in the top flight. Players on large wages, Premier league money gone and the other issue is a stadium that only holds just over 11k, match day revenue money even in the premier league was a pittance. I can see them dropping like a lead weight through the leagues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
