joeyt Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Weird how Bournemouth seem to buy a lot of players but just end up reverting to the team they came up with. Would suggest Howe is pretty gash in the market. £15mil Jordan Ibe, £10million Benik Afobe and £7million Lys Mousset (who I'd not heard of until a week or so ago) all on the bench agrees with this Not exactly top of the range signings by premier standards though, which also suggests Bournemouth's budget makes it pretty hard to upgrade significantly. They've spent about £64million on new players since getting promoted. It's not like they're working on a shoestring budget Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Ibe has been really poor for them and was given loads of time too. Was never really impressed by him at Liverpool either Neither was I but plenty on here seemed to rate him. Tbf, Rafa was in for him as well in the summer.

I'd hope that if we get promoted and spend £70mil on new players in our first two seasons it would improve us above our rivals who haven't spent £70mil. He spent £18mil combined on Grabban and Afobe and neither have been very good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really understand your point TRon, to be honest.

Especially when you've clearly highlighted that anyone in this league could spend £7m on a midfielder and improve on Gosling - why hasn't Howe done that then when he's spent so much money on such average players?

Swansea improved their midfield since Bournemouth have been in the Premier League with the signing of Sigurdsson for £8m like, so the "small teams" like Bournemouth have had no problem improving their squads with good quality players - yet Howe hasn't at Bournemouth.
