Laughing all the way to the bank
We should do an open house day for PL clubs only displaying Jones, Rojo and Darmian.
It's not rocket science. Young players in low contracts in bigger clubs can easily be sold to smaller ones. We hand out 100k a week contracts and no club would take a look at ours.
Brad Smith for £6m was a belter and all. Never got a look in and now on loan in MLS.
Not a chance.
We had signed him for 22mil a season earlier and he had been a complete flop..we basically got all our money back.
Difference is that Lingard isn't for sale.
19 million pounds.
3rd most expensive English striker of all time, despite only scoring one goal in English football.
Amazing
I have been saying multiple times over past few weeks that Lingard is a £40-50m player. Only 26, already regular international and a good player. Ox went for 40 in last year of his contract ffs. It's just that we wait till a players stock goes completely tits up before selling him for pennies. If we could get 40-50 for him and throw in a a little more and upgrade that position, that'll be shrewd business.
How much did Liverpool sign Solanke for again, who did nothing...
Morgan was one of the best CMs in the league the 2 season prior, our sales team should have been saying that.
Everton, West Ham, Leicester, Palace, Southampton and... Oh feck it, just about every Premier League club.
wow 19 mil 
How are pool able to sell their crap players for so much and Bournemouth, How are they that stupid to have spent 15 mil on Ibe and now 19 mil on this guy. For a team with a small budget you'd think they would spend bit wisely but 19 mil for a player who has a grand total of 1 goal.

They don't have a squad to be streamlined, they don't have enough
Solanke is a very good talent. His career hasn't gone very well so far at senior level but Bournemouth will be hoping he can kick on.
The Ibe signing was more of a mystery because he had never shown much beyond physicality at youth level.

Both out on loan I think.
Edit: Apparently N'Kodou is still at the club, Janssen too. Could have sworn he was still on loan at Fener
Has he been injured or out of favour?
That Spurs midfield is pretty weak to be getting rid of him mid season.
Well the first three are hardly the same stature. Eddie Howe gets his rep for taking a small club on not much money, but there is no way Palace or Southampton would ever sanction spending 19m on someone as unproven as Solanke.
They didn't sign him for a negotiated fee. His contract ran out at Chelsea so a fee was decided by a tribunal.
Looks like a typical Bournemouth signing.
Raiola says that Hirving Lozano is staying at PSV until the summer. PSV doesn't want to sell him now and no concrete interest from Chelsea either.
2 promotions up to the Premier League & stabilizing Bournemouth as a mid-table club does give him a stature in the club where they trust him with the money. And Southampton signed Elyounoussi for 16 million, Vestergaard for 22 million & Danny Ings who has done feck all since he went to Pool for 20 million. Decent players but hardly world beaters who were proven quality in the Premier League.
Exactly, Bournemouth are the 2nd poorest team in the league ahead of only Burnley. All of the smaller teams are spending 10-20 Million now it’s just a consequence of the TV deal.
Palace and Southampton have both spent loads on dross. Schlupp, Sorloth, Wickham. Southampton spent loads on Boufal, Ings, Elyanoussi etc.
Good signing for Barca, will do well there.
Bournemouth are a joke.
Could be off somewhere?
Why? If he does okay they can make a profit on him. That’s probably their thinking behind it. Young English potential with a point to prove.
I think if Solanke had gone to somewhere like Bournemouth instead of Liverpool when he left Chelsea then his career might be at a different point by now.
He looked really good for the England U21 and is rated highly by Soulthgate.
May seem a like alot of money but I don't think it's that much in today's market. As an English player he only has to score 10 goals in a season and and he will be worth 2 or 3 times that amount.

I thought this couldn't be true so I looked it up. It is.
Considering the quality of player England have had over the years, your top ten most expensive players isn't that impressive:
£49m Raheem Sterling
£47.5m John Stones
£45m Kyle Walker
£35m Danny Drinkwater
£35m Andy Carroll
£35m Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
£30m Rio Ferdinand
£27m Luke Shaw
£26m James Milner
£25m Michael Keane
£25m Jordan Pickford
£25m Adam Lallana
Rio is probably the only world class player on that list. Also, the list I read has Rooney at only £20m - was he not closer to £30m?
Alena should leave Barca.....they really don't care anymore about La Masia.
Talks of Brahim Diaz going to Madrid on Sky sports news now.
