Hoskins to Bournemouth - allegedly a fee has been agreed [merged]

[edna krabappel]

Somebody- wish I could remember who now- suggested a few weeks ago that Hoskins was signed at John Stephenson's behest, and wasn't necessarily Gus's pick. I thought it was a LOB at the time, and having seen the player score twice against us at the Memorial Stadium last season, I'd certainly be surprised if Poyet was never interested in him, but maybe there was something in the rumour after all?

Explain?

Football clubs must BLOODY LOVE Twitter!

Indeed although on this occassion they might have used it to let him know!

Seriously the "deal" was announced in the echo not on twitter - odd though that Hosky has been in training all morning and knew nothing I'm hoping it's not true tbh but sadly it seems to have legs (opens the door for countless gags about Hoskins' fitness)

£50 would buy Harley

Is he any good at housework?

 

[WallyBanana]

Give the guy a chance Gus... B'muff can do one...

Give Vicente a chane B.W!!!!

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I could have swore I report they would be back in for him in January at the start of December...

According to Sky Sports; Gus wants Owen to give him a call.

I can't believe this would be true. When fit Hoskins is our best forward. Would rather sell CMS to be honest

You must be f***ing pissed

My comment about being disappointed was not aimed at the club #afcb but about a fee being agreed as only joined #bhafc in the summer.

Hoping its Nicky Maaynard coming in. He has seen the light and realised Wigan is a bad move and Gus has pursuaded him that we are going places.

More realisically its Vokes

Didnt impress me when Bristol were here last week, Woods looked better than Maynard

 

[sir danny cullip]

The more I think about this the more barmy it seems, Hoskins (when fit) is probably one of the best that we could realistically expect to play that position either side/just behind CMS.

Quite alot to take in at the moment. This has all been sprung on me. Not gonna comment anymore though as u possibly know more than me lol

 

[sir danny cullip]

Also, he's still tweeting saying he basically knows nothing (bar what he's seen on twitter). Surely the club should have had a word after training? Seems very slack (if indeed the bid story is true at all).

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I'd be bloody annoyed if I was Hoskins right now.

 

[Farehamseagull]

I'm not as surprised by this as most.

We signed Hoskins very early on and at that time we and Gus would never have thought we had a chance of signing CMS and I would imagine the plan was for Hoskins to lead the attack. Having then somehow signed CMS and declared that we were going to build the team around him I would have thought Gus' plans for Hoskins and the team changed then.

I like Hoskins as a player from what I've seen and would be a bit disapointed to see him go but I have 100% faith in any decision Gus/Tony make and always think its going to work out for the best for the club.

Sell CMS, are you insane?! I hope this rumour is not true. But only if we've got suitable replacement coming in to replace Hoskins then it could be ideal...

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Have I missed something? When did Bournemouth become cash rich? 500k is a lot of money for any club in that division.

Maynard heart isn't really with City anymore, he wants to move on and fast. He is a outstanding goalscorer, when he is on form. City need to sell before they lose him on a free transfer, in the Summer.

Didn't somebody also say the same thing about Stephenson and Buckley? If true I will always be grateful to Stephenson as Buckley is the most exciting talent we have had for years.
