Callum Wilson - Coventry City

[loyalroyal4life]

Gone to Bournemouth on a 4 year deal

Grabban goes and they replace him straight away with somebody similar with the start of the season just 5 weeks from now.
We let our top striker go and........................................................................................
Bournemouth's Russian owner stays in the background, lets Eddie Howe get on with things and just writes the cheques.
Our Russian owner wanted to get involved with buying players and influence team selection.

Go back 3 or 4 years with Bournemouth in Div 1 and unable to buy any players whereas we were a "well-run" club in the Premier League.
My how quickly things change in football.

They have just earned (and most likely spent) a nice fee from Lallana sale. Sure this was used for this deal

Not as much as the papers were suggesting.

Local rag here in Bournemouth is claiming £4m

[Franchise FC]

oxf*rd this, we've allegedly got a new owner worth £9.9bn. We want Neymar.

... and if his injury is career threatening we might just get him

[JIM]

If he has to sit in a wheel chair, where would you play him ?

[From Despair To Where?]

I'd invent a time machine, go back 2 seasons and play him at left back instead of Ian Harte or Nicky Shorey

They needed most of that to comply with FFP.

[Nameless]

Could you explain how it affects FFP ? Genuine question rather than attempt to say you are wrong !

Surely the money would be too late to be included for 2013/14 ?

Even it is was used to balance the books for last season it's still bonus money they weren't expecting, and presumably they weren't just sitting there doing nothing about their debts

Sitting in just behind another striker.
