Steve Cook on loan to Bournemouth.

[ees complicated no?]

great news !

He is moving up the ladder and gaining experience as his last loan was Mansfield in the conference or whatever it is now called. Now in Div 1, Championship next perhaps.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I think it is indeed a good move.

We may conceivably temporarily lose the services of LD sooner than later and, as the loan is only for one month, SC will come back sharper and more ready to step in if required.

I agree as it will give him match fitness seeing as how the development squad/reserves don't get many games. He will be on instant recall if we get any suspensions or more injuries.

Good move. Bournemouth seem to be properly run on the football side.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

It makes a nice change to see somebody go out on loan to a club that play at a good level and will provide worthwhile experience, rather than turn out for Burgess Hill or Lewes.

Very true. Players being sent on work experience to have a kick about in the park can't be learning too much. I've been doing that for years and I am miles and miles further away from professional football than I was at 16/17.

Strange signing for them. Not too sure I'd be happy about signing a player with so little experience.

 

[HantsSeagull]

Might be clearing the way for a centre back signing...

given the precarious state of our back 4, this loan makes no sense unless Gus has got something up his sleeve....

Yet people on here want us to sign a player from a higher division side ie Premier player with no league experience, what is the difference with Bournemeouth signing a player from a higher division.

He was a non playing squad member in the SAME division 6 months ago. Didn't get a sniff. Good news for us if he gets games, just not sure it's the best signing for them.

I'm really interested to see if he can get a few starts under his belt for Bournemouth. If he comes back with some good league one experience he might be exactly what we need.

 

[Daffy Duck]

And it's only for a month, so no need for you all to get your knickers in a twist.

 

[severnside gull]

Played at fullback today and had a very good game by all accounts

 

[We're the Stripes]

Yep, just had a quick scan of their forums and it seems they were impressed. "Outstanding" and "very, very solid" two descriptions used. Good win for them up at PNE.

Fogden also played practically the full 90.
