Ake has signed for Bournemouth for club record fee. *sigh* why sigh? I know the lad looks to be a good player in the making but 20m is an awful lot for a couple of half season loan spells... 20m for ake or 20m for Bruno + delph. no brainer.

Still can't get to understand why nobody else is in for Bruno ? Proven prem experience, Dutch international... Under 10 million.. Fishy ?

Sometimes I forget that we are a team that won't just out-and-out spend a big lump of money and yes £20m is a lot... But the going rate for players these days is massively bumped up and we could really do with cottoning onto that rather than constantly checking in the bargain bin. I want us to splash some cash and show some intent on proven players rather than spaffing out £18m on players like Imbula who have zero prem experience. Get Bruno and Delph in and I'll be happy

Tin hat firmly on but, I honestly don't think he is THAT good, put a ball past him and he has the turning circle of a super tanker.

Good player. Would've liked him at Stoke but there you go.

You're doing it again. Can't we just wallow in our childish 'I want it and I want it now' mentality for a minute or two longer?

So Bournemouth sign a defender on loan, he does a job for them and they spend the money on bringing in him permanently as a statement of intent and a boost for the fans.
Meanwhile Stoke are still cunting about with Groupon vouchers.

40 million spent by Bournemouth on solid signings is showing their fans that they intend to push towards top ten finish this year

I think 8 pages on Ake now he's signed for B'mouth is more than enough

Certainly a signal of intent from Bournemouth. Fair play to them.
I think I'm just going to see where we are at, come the end of August. I can't bear this 'close season, ooh who will we sign?' bollocks..

I can't bear this 'close season, ooh who will we sign?' bollocks.. Remember where we've come from. Bournemouth seem to have forgotten they were playing Exeter six years ago.

Its just my opinion but I don't think he's anywhere near a 20 mil player. I for one is really happy we've not paid anywhere near that for him.

Right, now that what pretty much everyone knew was going to happen has happened, can we let this thread pass away peacefully?

Seems to me like we're holding out hoping to get the cheapest possible deal, only to get pipped at the post at the last minute!!!

I have zero confidence in our transfer team's ability to complete either signing.
