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.

Aye. Only been ruthless really with Chris Wood thus far.

I'm sure he said he wanted him to stay, but let him go cos he wanted first team football.

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

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

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

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.

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.
