Nothing more than journalists hearing that we want to recoup money on Richarlison and linking it with Solankes release clause fee and trying to put two and two together.

Right now we're heading into the season with one senior striker.

Why sell Richarlison only to bring Solanke and continue to have one senior striker. Unless of course we're also looking to bring in someone like David.

But it just seems abit stupid. Sign Solanke. Keep Richarlison.

Is there any point in keeping Richy if he’s rarely fit and we can recoup our costs?

Get Solanke and David (or A N Other).

Not at all.

There are people whose posts show a genuine interest in the club and how we play.

Then there are people like Doom Funk who only make chippy, sarcastic posts for laughs and show no interest in how we can become better and what happens on the pitch.

There is a world of difference between a Deuterz Deuterz and a Doom Funk Doom Funk

Noises coming out of club are that we are not looking to have subpar players anymore - it’s better to sign no one than someone who isn’t right for the project… otherwise you are left trying to sell mediocre players two years later with no PL buyers and everyone on the continent broke.

Let’s bring in the right players even if they take a bit longer to bring in.

My guy !

In all seriousness, I get it , I'm a miserable bastard who tells the same repetitive not very funny jokes on a daily basis

So...

Fuck all else to talk about on the transfer thread

If it upsets you or bores you to death , put me on ignore

It's fine , I can handle being on ignore lists , I'll just end up talking to myself

At least I'll be guaranteed a sensible conversation ;)

The idea of Solanke is that he’s a rising tide who lifts all boats, as he presses like a man possessed and holds up the ball really well. One thing I’ve read from Bournemouth fans is he released the likes of Semenyo and Kluivert into space really well and was quite useful for knockdowns etc.

I hate the “defensive striker” nonsense but I think we could really use a presser like him up front, but that pales in comparison to how much having a striker who can hold up the ball would help our attack. The rosy case for Solanke is that Bournemouth being great offensively is due to his prowess as a complete #9 and his constant occupation of defenders and running.
