I'd love to but my weekend doesn't start for another 40 minutes. I'm currently trying to appear busy.
£100m was a conservative figure when you consider that Bolasie, Dann and Cabaye would cost £40m+ between just the three of them.
In a 25 man squad you need at least 4 strikers. Glenn would probably be 3rd or 4th choice next season, so he won't be getting regular first team football but would still be used throughout the season as cover. £4m is not a significant amount of money in the Premier League and it's the going rate...
£4m is f*ck all to a Premier League team. From a Championship perspective it might seem like a lot but the new TV deal has given every top flight club enormous financial clout. Even if Bournemouth finish bottom next season, they'll still make £100m from one season before parachute payments...
Wickham and Bamford would both be ahead of him, Pardew wants to play Bolasie through the middle and we're supposedly bringing in another striker yet. We only play with one and Glenn isn't able to play the full 90 at this stage of his career.
£4m for Glenn is not expensive. He's a decent Premier League striker with at least another couple of years left in him. I will be absolutely gutted if he leaves, but can understand why he doesn't want to be 3rd/4th choice.
