I think we simply did BDB a MASSIVE favour, in light of the service he'd given us, and the desire he had to join his hometown club in what would likely be the final big deal of his career. He's made for life now and I wish him luck (whilst still deeply, DEEPLY wishing they go down). £13m was a...

£13m was a pathetic fee for an established, accomplished defender from a top 10 PL club who was an important regular player in our 1st team. Anything south of £15m was DERISORY in the current market. We've gifted that filth of a club an absolute lynchpin to stave off the second division. I wish...

If BHA are taking money from them, which we now have, then they're hardly likely to slag off the people they're trading with. Eddie Howe, as an employee, will just give his stock answer - "I'm here for the football side of things, I don't do politics". Blah. As will anyone on their payroll...

How so ? We said yes to accepting the fee on offer from them.

In fairness and on reflection I can hardly complain, being as I've been quite vocal of the opinion that we should have extracted MORE than £13m of that blood money for BDB from the murderers. Its a moral quagmire. Giggity.

Its still dirty money that we've used.

Sadly, after all of this, we now have £13m of blood-stained arab cash washing around in the BHA coffers. "It is what it is", as GP would suck his teeth and say.

Nailed. And we didn't need to sell. If we were hovering around the bottom 3-4 and this deal was done, then I'd be going absolutely APESHIT. As it is, I'm just irked and annoyed.

I'd have been quite happy if we'd slapped another year or two on the table for him. We didn't NEED to sell him.

And WHAT a job he did for us. We've now lost that versatility - a hugely underrated attribute we had down the left. Thats now gone. The stripey arabs will be benefiting from it instead of us. And they've gone and got it for buttons. I can't remember a sale I've been more annoyed about. We've...

If Harry Kane signed for us tomorrow, he would be immediately dropped from the England squad. BHA+England does not mix when it comes to Fishlips. This is fact.

Thats missing the point. When Dunk/Duffey/Veltman/Webster et-al get crocked or suspended, we've now chopped our options at the back for the rest of the season. For the sake of about £11m. Doesn't matter I suppose, being as we're safe. But I don't see why we're doing Saudi FC favours with...

Maybe. Although we loaned him straight back last time. And we are exiting this window weaker than we started it.

I disagree that he was that far down the pecking order, his number of appearances would put paid to that. And criticism on here I can take with a 3 mile 18ft deep quarry of salt. The fact we got him from Wigan is likely the reason we got stung on his price, given his CV prior to joining us -...

I'm not interested who is back from injury, they can just as easily disappear again. Burn played 30-odd games last season and was a regular this season - he wasn't just a stopgap, he was a versatile part of a team that is doing pretty well. I'm not saying it'll all fall apart now he's gone...

I'm not going to change my mind that the arabs have absolutely dry-humped us with this derisory £13m. Its been annoying me all day.

Yes we have cover / backup when everyone is fit. But we are emerging from this window weaker as a team, because we have just sold one of our most consistent performers, and for buttons.

I'm amazed everyone thinks this is such a great deal for BHA. £13m for an experienced top 10 PL centreback who's got a good 4-5 years in him, is playing regularly, and is (was) an important member of the team, particularly with his versatility. When we don't need the money, and have got a...

Its a shit deal, and we are now weaker as a direct result. This has properly pissed all over my yorkshire puddings.

I doubt there is a release clause - if there was then they'd have already triggered it, a-la Wood. Why piss about over £1-£2m at this stage of the window. £8-£10m is a DERISORY offer for an experienced Premier League defender at a top 10 PL club, who is a regular and important part of our team...
