Got some new Russian (?) owners now. Odd investment really, if you ask me, Bournemouth have always been a club with finite potential, and I can't ever really see them getting much bigger, no matter how much money they chuck at players.

I'm completely sane. If we were offered our money back for CMS I would take it in an instant. Massively over rated imo. I know I am in a minority

Hmmm. Still would be suprised if it happened - looks like its up to him.
Agree that Vokes would be a good replacement if it does happen. Being a Bournemouth fan, its still a bit weird buying players. The debate here is whether its money from our co-owner (the ruskie) or just the transfer money we got last year for about 7 players!!
Pretty sure the wage structure has changed though..it must have.

I'm under the impression that the player has to KNOW before an offer as been accepted for him?

Don't forget that with Hoskins fit and on the bench, Gus chose to put Adgestein on last Saturday.
Still seems a bit short sighted to sell though, unless we need the extra cash for someone else (please not Kitson).

Annoying for him, annoying for us. But if we now have Torby as a cheap option, letting Hoskins go and bringing in someone else does make some sort of sense. We won't be able to conclude whether or not it's a good piece of business until we see his replacement. Whatever happens, I'll be sad to see him go as I was really excited about him and I don't think we ever saw what he was capable of.

Looking at it from that angle it makes a bit better sense, I suppose. But I would definitely prefer him to stay, if we use that money to bring Kitson in. Given half a chance, WH could bang in a few goals in for us. It makes it worse, knowing that we agreed a fee without his knowledge.

I am in 100% agreement with this.
True. But as you say it's very short sighted to decide Hoskins is surplus to requirements based on Adgestein only making a few appearances
Players get sold all the time without them knowing or forced out of their club. They are often last to hear about it. It's nothing new to football.

I know, think he is a very good player. Not a £3.2million player. 1 goal in 20 games justifies what I am saying

Don't know, you'd have to ask the AFCB fan on this thread. Am not really surprised Matt Tubbs (apparently) turned them down at this stage, with his record, you'd have thought he'd get an offer from a bigger or higher placed club. Hard to imagine him leaving Crawley for Bournemouth, though I guess he is from down that way so maybe that'd play a part.
