Cherries: Seaborne deal completed, while Howe eyes swoop for Fraser and Allsop (updated) (From Bournemouth Echo)

He was destined to come here being named Seaborne and all that

Let's hope it's a cheaper deal than Barnard.

Ryan Fraser would be a great signing

Just puzzled as to why we would need another defender.??? I believe we have cover in abundance with the exception of the right back position!! I suppose that spells the end for Zubar. Unless of course Cooke is about to become guest of her Majesty soon with his court case looming and we need cover for him??
.
I also believe we may need a 'target man'. Ed does not play Demouge. Fletcher has been put out to graze. A target man will give us the option to change the play when needed.
.

Really dont understand the Seaborne one. Cook and Elphick have been superb and cant believe Seaborne will come to warm the bench. Even Addison isnt far away I believe (although I dont want him back in at minute) As for another keeper, again a strange one. I can understand Flahaven poably going and James maybe at end of season but Jalal showed his class Tuesday and is already unlucky not to be first choice.
However in Ed we trust

Should be able to swap Matt Ritchie for a pony & trap soon!!! UTC!

I think that the explanation for Seabourne coming on loan is that Cook's trial is due to be held shortly, it could easily run for 2/3 weeks and who knows the outcome. Eddie and Jason are clearly building for the futute too and there will be a clear out in June.

Politely declined to comment.

I like it....class.

I agree we could do with a target man. As a lot of other posts on other articles have stated, we are getting a lot of quality passes int the area and not posing a real threat. I think we have some real firepower up front but lack an airial threat. We could do with a striker who is strong in the air and can either score or knock the ball down to one of the strikers we already have. At present I feel our major threat comes from ground level. Fletch can fill this role for the last 10 minutes but it would be nice to have this option for 90 then the threat could be changed according to the defence they are up against. I think Pugh does a superb job on the wing and puts some quality crosses in, but someone needs to convert them. Grabban etc are stronger with the ball on the ground forcing themselves into scoring positions.

We have already seen that some of our players perform better with those who play along side them on a regular basis. On Tuesday night it was clear that Pugh was missing and not soon he came on the game changed for the better.

If Cook is going to be missing for whatever reason the same will happen at the back so I do believe that EH is taking these matters into consideration and as it has already been pointed out, he is building for the future.

I have to say that I have no problem with whoever Eddie brings in because I am sure that he will get 100% out of them.

I guess it is 'let it snow let it snow let it snow!! thus give the lads a better chance of recuperating from two very heavy going games. UTCIAD

... no sooner ...

Guys, let me share this with you. I do business with this chap in Aberdeen, he emailed me this earlier.

Now the real reason for the email, Bournemouth should be tried for Grand Theft for the measly 350K we are getting for him. He is a real talent and I have seen him a few times this season, you are getting the real deal. If there are any slow to medium paced full backs kicking about that league, god help them, he is really quick. I am involved at the Youth Development stage of the game up here and they tell me he was offered serious bucks to stay but still said no.

Book your seat to see him you wont be disappointed, when he gets kicked he just gets straight back up and skins them again.

(from my point of you others may not be so kind!!) There is no reason why we should doubt you and what you say about Ryan so I hope he comes to us and I look forward to seeing him play.

sorry typing too quickly and head above the clouds!! Senior moment!!

Think our beloved leader is toying with the idea of a 2-9 formation...two goalies and nine up front- soon , i hope we will be scaring other teams just with our line up....two q.u.a.l.i.t.y. wingers and goals from nigh on any position...wow.

As I understand Steve Cook`s trial starts on 21st and is expected to last three weeks,so obviously he will be unavailable for training or playing until verdict.
As I write local news say we have agreed deal for Ryan Fraser but has only featured in a couple of games this season,which seems to condradict what AfcbBlues`business contact says,but having said that other sources seem to agree that he does have a special talent.

Nonno, are you on the same medication as SOC LOL.... Mossy.. Fraser has played over 20 1st team games, he won The Player of the Month for Sept and Oct in 2012, from what I've read from over the boarder the locals are far from happy. Craig Brown has nearly lost all the hair he had left. I'm REALLY excited at this lad signing and watching him grace DC... UTCIAD

Not many Scot's playing in the premiership?

Caldwell, Berra, Maloney, s.fletcher, d.fletcher, bannan, Morrison, Dorrans, fox, MacArthur, McCarthy, Naismith, Whittaker, Russell, Adam.......

all of these players play regularly for their country and for their club. You Sir are a complete fool.

Plus the 30 that play in the championship.
