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

In fact I think theyve spent about £71 million on players since being promoted. Which includes £8million on Lewis Grabban

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.

Other than Ibe though, the players you mentioned were in the £7-10m band. Does that really buy you players that are going to improve you above your rivals bearing in mind some championship clubs can buy those same players?

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

There are hundreds of players you could buy for £7m that is a significant improvement on Gosling like :lol:

I always felt Gosling was a tad unfairly criticised when he got that run in the team towards the end of his time here. I think most of the criticism was because he was taking HBA's place IIRC

But everyone else in the premier can also buy hundreds of players who are better than Gosling for £7m.

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

 

The original point was that Howe is gash in the market, by spending £70m and not improving the squad at all sort of points to the fact that may be accurate. 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?

I never brought Gosling into this discussion, you did. :lol:

 

My point is that  small clubs like Bournemouth probably find it harder to attract good quality players when they don't have spending power to separate them from their rivals. The sort of budget they've got doesn't seem that much different to Watford or Swansea.

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.

 

Edit - Capoue and Watford, another example.

TBF to Howe he seems to well with his loans and lesser signings, only the bigger names that seem to come in and end up on the bench although it's a minor thing to pick at it as he's clearly a top coach.
