To be fair I thought Bissouma looked decent and caused us a lot of trouble it the first half... Drifted as the game went on and his attempt to get back to defend Wilson's eventual goal was laughable... he may as well just stood and watched...

Solanke is another that fits the Eddie Howe mould... Young, British, and bursting with potential... He just needs a chance with us, something that up until now he's not been able to get... He's set up a couple of goals in his cameos and always looks lively... Trouble is when you've Wilson and...

Spot on, re us only having played 1 of the 'big' teams so far, but we didn't select who we played, and you can only beat the teams put in front of you... We're fully deserved of our position right now, however, I fully expect us to begin the slide through the positions over the coming 2...

None of the above... It's more that we don't claim to be the gospel on everything about everything financial on every player at every club... I can't find the exact article/info, but Defoe was a free transfer, however, I understand we paid a sizeable signing on fee for him... He was beleived...

:blush: haha.. I wish the former... :-)

Thank you... At last someone understands that income from our 'tiny ground' is irrelevant... OK, so no one is going to turn down an increased revenue generated from a bigger ground, but in the grand scheme of things, the club can survive, spending wisely, on TV and PL money... Now on to some...

Corrected that for you :cheers: How do you know we run a massive loss...? We've just posted profits for last year... They were minuscule amounts, but profits nonetheless... You're forgetting Begovic as well... I can't personally see us topping 9th this season... The top 7 are pretty much...

We'll have been in the PL for 3 seasons now, taking an guesstimated £300m (ish). We have an owner willing to back Eddie to the hilt, and let's not forget, we're 25% owned by Americans who have far more money than Maxim Demin... The new SKY TV deal of last year has meant the PL is largely a...

Don't bother... crap ground with bugger all around it... and shocking atmosphere... But then again... you'll soon realise that most PL grounds have shocking atmospheres... too many football tourists... :-)

I didn't actually say Eddie developed him, more that he is now seeing him develop into the player he knew he could be... Lewis Cook started our PL campaign and looked very good... Yes he has been down the pecking order, but he's also been out for a large part of the season through injury as...

Haha... I genuinely believe you'll do ok next season...

Or maybe we bought a rising talent 12 months ago, for not that much, and are now seeing him develop into the player Eddie Howe new he could become...

Erm... Aren't BHA indebted to Mr Bloom for around £100million...? What is that any different...? The mindset is different these days... AFCB are a possible goldmine to any potential investor, as is the case with all PL clubs, if managed well... Our owner bought us as a Lg1 club for under £10...

Absolutely correct... It has been widely debated on our forum, the number of potentially bad signings Eddie made in our first PL transfer window... Realistically, Only 1 (Josh King) has come good so far, and he cost us just £1 million... Eddie bought several youngsters to build our squad (Lewis...

Hopefully you guys won't mind me dipping in on this thread... Having followed AFCB from the late 80s, through all the sh*t and also to all the sh*t, with a lot of sh*t days out, I can honestly say now, having started our second season in the PL, parts of me miss those sh*t days... At least they...
