Wes Foderingham to AFC Bournemouth

Bad news (Wes leaving) is bad news whenever it comes - don't shoot the messenger!

Roberts is the left wing equivalent of Richie. Fantastic work rate and a good crosser of the ball. Supports his full back really well but is not as good a finisher as Richie but a wholehearted player. Experiences in the Championship as well.
Williams is a lower league van Persie. Fast, fantastic movement and knows where the net is. Has got quite a few for us this year. Also gives a real physical presence and defenders are often whinging about the treatment he gives them.
A cool million should get you both.

What's the odds on you going into admin again when your backer decides he doesn't want to fund the club anymore, 1/5 on I reckon.

Fixed

 Unfortunately it's true that he wants to leave, well in the sense he wants championship football next season. So now it's confirmed it's not gonna be with us, it's just a matter of who with, not when.

Shut it Chalkie you Judas.

Williams sounds like a handy replacement for Fletcher. Will it take a million or will we be able to get them cut price like Ritchie?

You can't keep a bird in its cage, its made to fly. Unfortunately for us as we didn't go up, these players will play at a higher level. they might as well go to a club that might give us a decent price

I think its OK with a Lansdown or even a Black bankrolling, but you are right it doesn't always end well. Especially at 6%.

That said, their Russian didn't bottle it half way through the season and so they get a season in the Championship whereas we don't.

We were fortunate that Black left half way through a season and that our wages weren't totally over the top - so we could cover it until the end of the season. Then if come the summer it turns out we don't have a new sugar daddy we can cut our wage bill down to a more sustainable level relatively easily.

Compare that to having the bank roll leave before the start of the season, when you're in The Championship with players being paid over the odds on contracts for a season or two, which total £10m more a season than you can afford. See Portsmouth for what happens next.

The relegated Premier League teams are just shitting it over playing the mighty Bournemouth next year.

A million plus Ritchie for the both.

Whilst it wouldn't be a shock if Wes left to play championship football, it would be a surprise if he went to a team as shit as Bournemouth.

A lot will depend on what our Chairman does. If he wants to fund a run for promotion then he'll do what he can to keep them. If he's looking to cut the wage bill, then they're off. The price will depend then on how desperate he is to cut the wage bill and whether he can start an auction for them as I think there will be a fair amount of interest given their contributions this season

In fairness you lot were saying that about Ritchie and then look what happened..

I reckon it must be a south coast thing, but most of the dim shit trollers seem to follow Brighton, saints and now the waiting for god armchair town. At least pompey have proper fans.
