Agreed. I accept the club can't be silly with money but with these sort of high-profile (for Saints) signings that may attract interest from other clubs we need to move fast. Make our best offer and if it's accepted do the deal. Or move on.Presumably Celtic have no reason to reduce their asking price? I'm not aware that they need the money, or that the player has thrown his toys out the pram, or that his contract is ending? (I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.)
So in that case, either pay the asking price or move on. I really don't care which, because I've never seen him play and hence have no opinion on him (ignorance on my part, I accept). Only three weeks left now.
Perhaps we have already done this, the offer has been rejected and we’ve moved on…Agreed.

I think there might be more developments with this yet. The other day Russ said we've had to park some things because:
- It's too expensive/they're going elsewhere (Carvalho, Buonanotte)
- We can't afford to pay the fee the other club want right now
I am holding onto that second one being MO'R. Hopefully we get news of an ABK deal soon
Us? We’ve clearly taken too long over this. Potentially for reasons outside of our controlYou must log in or register to see media

im on board with that. Replace a top goal scorer for an attacking midfielder with half the money. Recipe for disaster. We haven’t replaced Pelle, Ings etc and look what happened/is happening to us.
My feeling with Bompey is they think they are an established Premiership club. They are more established than us, but one dodgy half season from playing in the championship again.
Are the entire crowd made up of scouts?Celtic are currently in action and he’s playing again, so nothing imminent to any of his 50,000 suitors.
If they were to buy for example MOR for in the region of £20-25m that would still leave them with £30-35m for a replacement striker. With £10m still to potentially come in on add ons from the Solanke sale. I’d say that’s a pretty good position to be in for Bournemouth.
They’ve just spent £10m on a right back aswell. No idea if the only money they have is the Solanke money or if that has just topped up their budget
