Defoe 130K a week

[GoldWithFalmer]

It will be full 10,000 home fans and 40,000 visiting fans

it was said rather tongue in cheek to that effect,that said they are looking to have one built (not sure capacity) by 2020/21..

Their net spend was more than us last season. The board even accepted the reason they went down a few years back was due to lack of signings.

i bet there wages structure is a tad different...and given they had only just gone up i'm not surprised there net spend was higher

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Good luck to Bournemouth for playing with the grown ups. I hope we last through adolescence and not do a stroppy teenager in our first season

 

[Bozza]

Age is largely irrelevant here as Defoe is still one of the best finishers in the business and all but guarantees goals.

Not a bad piece of business.

 

[Joshski]

And Bournemouth aren't stopping there.
Diony from Dijon at 120K a week
And more in the pipeline.

They must have more money than Chelsea and Man City combined.

Hmm Defoe was reported as around 65k per week on Sky sports...

 

[AmexRuislip]

Apprently it's closer to 65/70k

Signing on fee is 7 million

Some clown mentioned this on Talksport this evening, in the region of £5/6 million!
Beggars belief really

 

[Silverhatch]

At £100k a week I wondered if we might have a bite, especially with our Spurs connections. Even thought the club could get the players to accept a 'one-off' deal for a player of Defoe's calibre - but £130k over 3 years for a 35 year old is... wow.

 

[Wilko]

how, just how can they do this?, what's their gate? pretty small, can't see tens of thousands of replica shirts being sold so how do they balance the books with FFP?

Gates pretty much mean F ALL in the PL, money that comes in from match tickets is pocket change compared to the TV money plus the money AFCB just picked up from a top ten finish.

 

[bhanutz]

You seriously think we'd almost doubled his wages from Sunderland ?

I'd wager £65K as reported by the Telegraph and Sky..he'll have his relegation clause and we will have the 2 year clause...signing on fee -none of us have a scooby.

ahh I see...you are conveniently forgetting the 6 million signing on fee!

Bournemouth who finished 9th in the Premier League are signing an England international with a proven track record of scoring goals in the top flight.

They're also signing a former player of theirs who scored goals for fun as a youngster on loan to them.

They're also signing a product of the fabled Senrab Sunday League football team.

The parallels with Albion signing Zamora are uncanny.

And I think they can afford it.

Good luck to them.

Eddie has been pretty shit in his transfer dealings since they went up. Let them all sign for the Cherries I say.

Who's right, the OP or the Tabloid?

To be fair we just banked £122 million from finishing 9th...our debt is minimal and friendly , we made a profit on the last financial year .We have US investment (Peak 6) on top of Russian investment.

Yep its totally surreal.

The issue at this level is attracting PL quality players. I'm sure when you consolidate you won't have an issue but we've been through transfer windows when nothing happened and I'm sure that was down to the perceived status of the club. Things seem to be changing now,

Perceived status? They perceive you to be tinpot and you are actually what?

Polished turd?

Actually sounds like a reasonable assessment. Good luck to you pal.

3 years in the Premier League, Championship winner tinpot...you know that trophy thing.

 

[AFCDibby]

A team that just finished ninth in the Premier league. FACT

 

[Stato]

It might seem like a lot of money for an old player, but he proved at Sunderland this year that he can be the difference between relegation and relegation, but with a higher wage bill.
