I think he'd be ideal in the role aribo is playing in just now. But like another poster said I think he might be staging at arsenal
Where would Aribo play then?

I think a centre mid is necessary to be honest, I get that Edmundson can play there but he is the only centre back cover for the next month minimum and Aribo is playing far better up front. So we only have 4 centre mids for 3 positions, an injury leaves us no backup whatsoever.We have great squad harmony cover in every position, unless it’s something remarkable that comes out of the blue I don’t see the point of just getting an body’ in.
Most likely, i really don't think its a big signing but of course i will let you all know when i find out.Could it possibly be the New Head of Medical Matt Konopinski? I know he is currently in Scotland but maybe he is temporarily in a hotel until a flat is located. Keep us updated.
I'm starting to get anxious. Wilso has done a great job moving on some of the deadwood but he's yet to complete an incoming transfer.
2 weeks to do something big. Or gamble losing 55!
I haven't named anyone or given any personal details like a phone number/address out so no i'm not breaching my contract.Are you sure you should be spreading that publicly?
Could be in breach of your contract and data protection laws.
I think like most we have a fear of losing a player for any period of time and I am not sure we have enough between midfield and attack for cover.
Kent will get injured for a period of time going by his record and even if it’s for 2/3 games then we really are short.
I would like to see someone brought in for that reason but who is another matter
I would get in shankland or Nisbet in. Give them 5 months to adjust to Rangers without any major pressure and play as and when needed. Given suspension and injury would probably still get 5-10 games.
he fights it out for the right forward position or in midfield hes a young player being asked to play a new position in that right forward area. He might go off form which would be understandable or me might get injuries or suspension in midfield meaning he has to drop back to play in thereWhere would Aribo play then?

I reckon Jones and Ojo will start tomorrow
They may well mate.
Any idea who we're playing on Saturday?
just seen four lads say it’s queen of the south
Heard we are working on a loan for Solanke.
I can assure you Bournemouth will not be allowing Solanke to leave.
I don't think we need to bring anyone in this month. We have no need to go out and make any panic buys. We might need to spend 70m in the summer though to close that gap between us and the scum (remember that?)
Even more then. The right side of attack might be the position that needs strengthened the least, that CH or keeper. We need another striker before that ffsJones and Ojo tii
That would make sense , him being a prolific goal scorer and all that.Heard we are working on a loan for Solanke.
I hope not he’s fckn hopelessI can assure you Bournemouth will not be allowing Solanke to leave.

I haven't seen Nisbet play but Shankland isnt good enough to play for us. He doesnt fit in the system Gerrard plays nor are we going to pay £2-3m quid for a guy that's not going to play or make the squad of 18 most weeks.
Shankland said himself in the summer any move he makes is about where he is going to play so I wouldn't see him signing for us anyway. For me it's also very telling he's playing in the championship and not for a team like Hearts or Hibs this year as well.
I dont think we will bring anyone in I think Gerrard is happy to go with what we have while reducing the squad size but he could also be playing his cards close to his chest.
Probably a mentally challenged. They aren’t improving their starting 11 in any shape. Signing some pole and a guy who looks about 35 from Africa won’t shift guys like Edouard and Brown from that sideSome plonker on clyde 1 just said it was a disgrace we haven't brought in anyone yet as the filth have spent 5 million. What an absolute throbber of a guy did he not watch the last 2 games against them?
Shankland would walk from Dundee to sign for us.
We won’t be paying £2m for him now though when we could have had him for free in the summer and decided against it after having him watched. I think we should have signed him and loaned him to a team like Motherwell but that’s gone now.
I remember the constant rumours about Solanke when SG came in and people on another forum buzzing about him being a top signing. I couldnt understand it as he was pish any time id seen him.Solanke is absolutely p1sh. One of the most overrated strikers in recent history. How liverpool got £19m for him is mind boggling.
There is a thread about his recent form on the Bournemouth reddit page.

Genuinely feel bad for the guy because he's clearly miles out his depth playing at the level he's at, looks as if he'd be a reasonable league 1 striker at best
I've always had a theory about Lukaku that because he was probably bigger, stronger and faster than everyone else his age that it hindered his technical development. He could rely on his physical attributes so never refined the other side of his game. He is a decent player but he is very rough round the edges.At youth level he was meant to have been good, winning the golden ball at the u-20 world cup England won a few years ago, but he hasn't been able to make the step up to senior football. It's a similar story for Umar Sadiq.
Some guys do well at junior level because they grow taller and/or stronger faster than most of the others in their age group, so they dominate because they physically matured faster, not because they are technically better at football, but then they look bang average once everyone else in their age group catches up and reaches full physical maturation, the players with better technical ability who were slow to fully mature start to shine through.
People grown stronger and taller at different rates, Lukaku was almost fully grown when he was 13 and most of his peer group in Belgium were still tiny. But he did turn out a decent player at senior level despite his early physical advantages.

Which is exactly why it rips ma knitting when coaches of all sports bin players at 12-18 saying not big or strong enough. Justin Rose the golfer grew 3 ins between 18-20!

Gerrard gives nothing away to the media. See him do it before. Told them we weren’t looking at Flanagan and next things he signsGerrard press conference basically said we are not signing anyone this window.
That's changed since last time saying possibly one.
At a push Handy Andy is more than capable.We have Aribo, Ojo, Jones and Barker. Thats four players for one position yet have only four midfielders for three positions. We need to sign a central midfielder.
He's not though.At a push Handy Andy is more than capable.
I’m hoping that’s the caseGerrard gives nothing away to the media. See him do it before. Told them we weren’t looking at Flanagan and next things he signs
Left back we are short, but remember Flanigan is a top right back ! And an able left back, really looking forward to seeing him in his natural position.I understand that but its the same if Barisic gets injured aswell, we can replace like for like in most areas bar the fullback positions, thankfully we have a good run of games at home so hopefully we should be ok.
Just my opinion, i don’t think barker and ojo are good enough so id like to see someone come in.
Also said Kent wouldn't be coming numerous times over the summer. I've got the feeling he's after something big hence why he's giving nothing away. I also think it will be quite late in the windowGerrard gives nothing away to the media. See him do it before. Told them we weren’t looking at Flanagan and next things he signs
I wouldn’t get your hopes up, he seems definitive that no one is coming inAlso said Kent wouldn't be coming numerous times over the summer. I've got the feeling he's after something big hence why he's giving nothing away. I also think it will be quite late in the window
He was pretty definitive in saying Kent wasn't joining either, said for weeks that it wasn't happening.I wouldn’t get your hopes up, he seems definitive that no one is coming in
