I also quoted his goalscoring stats for the season. Also, I've no doubt that our scouts will have watched him in more than one game!
While we are on the subject of stealing Bournemouths players, I see they have a rumour that we are interested in Matt Ritchie. May of been mentioned before but first time I have seen it.

And £4m to spend in other ares then it does sound tempting add the £4-5m for Bridcutt. We could build a very quality squad.
You'd sell ONE player, and replace him with FOUR players. Where are you going to find the money to PAY them?

Surely, only if we can't get Conway?

Besides, they have to give us a percentage of any cook transfer so we could just say, £900k and you keep what you get for Cook.
I'd be totally unexcited by the signing of Ritchie. Massively over-rated on here, on the back of one good game.
I'd rather play Solly March. In fact, if Solly could be persuaded to get a really, really shit haircut, we could pretend Ritchie had signed anyway.

£3.5 million for Bridcutt plus roughly £1m for Barnes. £1m each for these two leaves £2.5m. Cardiff would only want a small fee for Conway seeing as he is out of contract in the summer and he doesn't play for the first team. Let's say £500k max leaves you with £2m. I'm sure none of the mentioned would be on more than £10k per week. Even if the three of them were, the wages would total £1.5m. I'm sure you could find a decent midfielder on loan with £500k for the rest of the season.
Sold Barnes too.
That's a stupid thing to say. I don't know how many penalties he's scored, I only know that the one against us was a pen. He's got 10 goals so far, and if 5 were penalties, suddenly 5 from open play doesn't sound very impressive.
Barnes was out of contract in the summer too, so I don't see why they'd sell Conway for less than we sold Barnes.

TBH I don't know, but penalties are goals and count just the same as those from open play. Seems a bit of an overreaction on your part to my lighthearted comment.

One thing I really don't understand is our current transfer budget. We here stories about us being priced out of moves for players yet it doesn't make sense. We were told (by both Bloom and Barber) that the player budget has actually had a slight increase than the budget last season. Last season we didn't spend any excessive money bar the £2million for Ulloa. We also bid £2.5million for van Dijk, meaning that we had that money in the budget. By my maths, that means that this seasons transfer budget would be £4.5million + a slight increase (possibly 500k more) so it should be around £5million. During last summer, I think I'm right in saying the only money we paid out was compensation to MK Dongs for Chicksen. So surley we should have £5million to spend?
