Ruben Loftus-Cheek......

[Flying Farrier]

Seems he's the latest player Bournemouth are in for.....shouldn't we be at least trying to beat them to the punch?.....surely we are a bigger attraction than Bournemouth.....i know they have the Eddie Howe factor and you can see why that would appeal to a young player but our infra-structure is just SO much bigger.....doesn't that mean something to these players?.....if not we're fcked.

It doesn't appear to does it,

I don't think that we are willing to compete with the wages and signing on fees, we may not even be interested in him anyway.

Just look at what they are allegedly paying for and to Defoe

Bornemouth have been cheating er, I mean overpaying their players for years. They will continue in this vein particularly as they've managed to survive a few years at the top table.

 

[CHAPPERS]

We've signed a number 10.

Plucky little Bournemouth... I heard Defoe saying their story is unique on SSN!

 

[Da Man Clay]

I'm delighted someone else is taking RLC. He's played about 4 games. He may be great - but I don't want to be relying on him ta. Need to be looking at someone a bit more proven.

Oh, and Bournemouth are a much more stable and established PL club at this stage. Not sure why we should be considered a safer bet.

Money talks

 

[whitelion]

£35k a week for a 21 year old who's made 22 Premier League appearances for Chelsea - it would be a gamble to sign him on those terms.

To be fair, Bournemouth have been in the premier a while now and they finished 9th last year, and have Defoe. We are a curiosity at the moment. If we do ok next season then I assume the next seasons transfer window will be more bouyant as people will want to come here.

We have a good team of knowledgeable people scouring the globe for talent and you think we're in trouble because we're rightly not interested in Ruben loftus creek?

I wish people would stop banging about our infrastructure, good as it is. We have a lovely stadium with excellent facilities but Lancing hasn't produced anyone of real note yet. We are in a good place but are far from any current Premier League youngster's dream loan yet.

"Safer Bet"? It is a loan!

 

[OSRGull]

And once they go down, they'll go down as far as Portsmouth did.

Yes: what the **** are you worrying about?
It's the same recruitment team that scouted and purchased 75% of the squad that saw us finish third and then second in the Championship.
How about giving them a little respect and trust over the summer?

Oh and figure out quoting asap please.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Costing us his wages - and more importantly a place in the squad for somewhere more valuable and proven at this level.

Might we not need another one?

£35K a week is chicken feed in the PL - even for a 21 year old.
