I remember our resident Bournemouth fans saying that Howe is ruthless when it comes to moving players on in order to push on, but that's the one thing they said about him that I'm yet to see come true like. 

 

 

 

Yeah, same. I've always been very protective of him re: people assuming things like this are all his fault for that reason, but you can't deny it looks dodgy. 

 

But he must have cycled through loads of past it players and considered long term finances a ton as he took Bournemouth up the ranks.

Laugh as in hysterically before sobbing uncontrollably?

[Dr.Spaceman]

It would represent a fairly sizeable failure from whoever is tasked with selling our players.

He said it, but I think we all assumed that was him being diplomatic 

[Kid Icarus]

It makes absolute sense to always feign losing players against your will when there's interest around them like, I'd just let them to get a move on with this one and (if the money's right and will be reinvested) Kelly

Is there any evidence that Howe is reluctant to sell players?

None. Howe is hardly going to come out saying he's really happy for players to go. He just plays a straight bat every time.

Feel like Saint Maximin sale was more ruthless than Chris Wood

[Rich]

Aye. Think they couldn't wait to get Maxi out of the dressing room, regardless of what was said publicly.

[Kid Icarus]

He made it very clear that Fraser was done and had no interest in keeping up appearances where he was concerned. 

[WilliamPS]

I’m not sure Howe has tried to hang onto players for too long in the past 2 windows, the main issue IMO is nobody wanted the players they tried to move on at the wages the players wanted.
 

The club will be better sellers in 2 years as the squad is containing more and more players who are young and talented, vs old and declining

Just the lack of sales I suppose, that could be down to lack of interest or lack of serious bids though. Either way we haven’t been great at selling.

No debate there.

[Stal]

Three day rule. Over three days since this broke and no movement? It's not happening.

[JUICE690]

Lost count of the amount of times my brain has skipped passed the 'to be' in the thread title. A short rush of excitement only to be met with inevitable let down. Like watching Miggy!
(Sorry Miggy ).

It’s possible that he might not want Almiron to leave because a lengthy Murphy injury with no Almiron leaves us with no real RW for 4 months. Put simply, he’s better than nothing and that goes for a few squad players who should also be on the chopping block.

 

I’m sure Howe would be happy for Almiron and others to leave if he was confident they’d be upgraded but there’s no guarantee there since the £50+million we had to spend in the summer has disappeared.

Even playing Almiron leaves us with no real RW though, that’s how ineffective he is for us now. It would be mad to turn down any decent bid imo.

Watch him go back to ATL now and score 10 bangers in a row with his right foot
