Congratulations to little Bournemouth, although questions are bound to be asked about their long term prospects when they had nearly 2,000 empty seats in a 11,800 ground last night. The superb Eddie Howe's comments about Yann were very revealing- that the team had benefited because they had worked out how and when to use him (mainly as a battering ram impact sub) and how they played to his strengths when he came on. At St Andrews on Saturday our sheer lack of physical presence up front once again highlighted the mendacity and stupidity of Duchatelet and Meire. The Liars claim that Yann doubled his money by joining the Cherries - reportedly from 8k to 16k a week. But when you look at Yann'sTweets on the subject, the comments of Steve Dixon who knows the player, and then the fact that Duchatelet spunked thousands after Yann left on crap including Etheridge, Oneyuyu (sic), LePoint etc...I know who I believe on the subject. Watching Vetekole these last few weeks mentally flicking through holiday brochures as he jogs around the pitch, who knows where we could/should have finished with Yann alongside Watt up front. Another wasted, damp squib of a season because of the mistakes of the Belgian Walter Mitty's.
Well done to Bournemouth on a well deserved promotion. Just shows you what can be done with an excellent Manager and a rich Foreign owner who invests in the team. The Kermorgant situation has been done to death on here and other Forums. Suffice to say that I didn't agree with him being sold then and it is shown to be folly now. It wasn't just the selling of Kermit for 400000 pounds it was the bringing in of players like Polish Pete for 700000 Euros. We have needed a target man like Yann for a Season and a half and we are no closer to getting one.
Lets hope that Roland Douchêbag has learnt from this mistake, but something tells me he ain't. He commonly sells his best players to make profit on his club. It's funny, when I read the Chris Powell interview and he stated that "his scouts have seen Yann and Hamer" and they're not good. Both are in the premier league, and where's his crock of s***! Let's face it, we're going to have another mediocre season, next, where Luzon is going to get sacked, and we're going to get another sub-standard "head coach" and a bunch of crap like Bulot, and even more that probably won't even play.
Congratulations to Bournemouth. Yann has been integral to their promoiton this year. Unsure where he will fit in next year mind you. There's no doubt the CB's wil, still know they've been in a game with him but whether he has prem quality remains to be seen.
Bit harsh on Bulot, since he came back from the African nations cup and had a run of games he has played well, got 5 goals and a couple of assists, sure he has been anonymous in a few games, but he is a winger in the championship, if he was putting in great performances every week he would be in the prem.
I don't think that I am. He may have scored 5 goals, but he's terrible at defending and coming back and helping out the rest of team, and his work rate is sub-standard. It's not all about scoring goals... Guðmundsson is a quality player, who's always putting in the effort. I'd rate him a higher ££££££££ than Bulot and Buyens any day (which I find so amusing that Douchêbag and Meire, mentioning that Bulot is too expensive for us).
He may not at always get back to help out fox/wiggins (what winger does), but to say his work rate is sub standard is outrageous. We may have to agree to disagree on this one. But yes JBG Is absolute class, keeping him is pivotal to challenging next season. I see absolutely no reason why he can't get 15-20 goals next season if he stays injury free.
Yes I agree with all you say on Bulot we have a gem of a player there my POTY as well as JBG. Have they sorted his contract yet?
Don't forget that another two of Bournemouth's stalwarts were not good enough for Charlton, Francis and Arter. Good thing Eddie Howe doesn't read the Charlton forums or he'd never have taken Francis, while Arter was allegedly bombed out after a fight with Yassin.
Bulot POTY? Big statement to say he's outperformed 4-5 of the squad. He'd excel wide left off the striker, the formation every Premiership club plays (and makes Bolasie look a world beater). Arter griped me at the time, still does. He won't look out of place in the prem.
