Came here to say this. He's certainly got the profile of an Eddie Howe player. Works hard and has quality.

Think I recall fans saying they didn't want him which I found strange because he's a level or 2 up on Almiron and Murphy

Really like the player personally.

Wasn't that I didn't want him, but for the money they were talking, I'd have rather have had someone else - think at the time my particular erection was for Diaby.

I think we'll see things crank up quite significantly in a couple of years time.

Of course, we're being super careful so only spending what we've actually taken in. Last Summer's issue of wage/turnover ratio being quite high will be relatively insignificant next Summer, because the Adidas cash, Saudia cash, Noon cash, CL revenue and the countless other commercial deals will be on the balance sheet so the turnover will have gone from £180m in 21/22, £265m in 22/23 to around £350m+ (possibly a lot more) in 23/24. In 2022, I believe the salaries were £170m and probably haven't significantly increased due to trading, maybe up another £10m? Keep me honest, you lot.

So for UEFA, salaries could be as high as £245m or more on a £350m turnover. PL is more lenient as it takes amortisation into account (as per Chelsea). So whilst we've spent, we've not spent anything like what we're about to. I'd imagine another 6 players at least plus youth across 2024.
