CHERRIES are today poised to complete the signing of goalkeeper Shwan Jalal on a permanent transfer from Peterborough United.

The 25-year-old has impressed since arriving at Dean Court on a month's loan towards the end of Cherries' pre-season campaign.

And chief executive Alastair Saverimutto today successfully concluded negotiations with Posh director of football Barry Fry to convert the deal to a full transfer.

Jalal has agreed terms on a two-year contract, with a further 12-month option based on appearances.

Peterborough stand to receive payments based on appearances and other incentives, although the finer details of the package are not known. The transfer is subject to Football League approval.

Meanwhile, Cherries striker Jo Kuffour is expected to finally complete his move to Bristol Rovers later today.

Kuffour is understood to be undergoing a medical and discussing personal terms with the West Country outfit this afternoon.

The two clubs have already agreed a fee for Kuffour, with the figure understood to have triggered a get-out clause in the 26-year-old's contract with Cherries.

Cherries are hoping to draft in an immediate replacement for Kuffour, with Swindon's Barry Corr and Brentford's Alan Connell both in the frame.

While Swindon would only entertain a loan move for Corr, it is believed Connell could be available on a full transfer.

Let's wait for all the negative comments, about signing a keeper not a striker. BUT remember we are still in business that should be positive enough for all of us!

Not only they will moan about that they will most likely moan about the length it has taken. I think that this is excellent news and a step in the right direction I hope that in good time the team will be strengthened and we begin to score goals and gain points in the process. Come the Cherries you can do it.

i agree - a good start to building the team and a settled keeper is good - not the best news for young ryan though!

I'm not going to moan about signing a competent keeper as we were short of cover in that department.

However what we do need is a 25-30 goals a season striker, especially as Kuffor has now gone as many of us predicted.

Any snippet of good news is welcome at this time. Depression seems to have set in after such a poor game against Exeter. It would seem the players may be suffering as much as the supporters, with such a mountain to climb this season. We have never before had to start a season in such adverse circumstances, so perhaps we should be a little more sympathetic to all concerned. We are all in this together so let's cocentrate on playing our part with some encouragement, rather than perpetual criticism.
Realistically we can only hope to stay in this division for this season,and all circumstances considered, that would be an achievement.
It is heartening to see that attendance has exceeded 5000 on the three home matches, which apart from Leeds is about fourth best in this league. Let's all take heart, keep the "Faith" and live in hope of much better things for our club.
These are the thoughts of a very ancient supporter, well past his "Sell by Date" with so many joyous memories of better times which I hope will soon return to give others the same pleasure,that I have enjoyed as a Cherries supporter.

So does everyone. My guess is only two or 3 players in each division hit the 25-30 mark these days in the league.

With the exception of signing Jalal who I believe to be a more than competant keeper.

Is it at all surprising that we are no longer an attractive club for players to come on loan to ?? Many players have turned us down over the recent weeks and who can blame them??. After all who in their right minds would want to join a club 15 points adrift at the bottom League Two and going nowhere??. I predicted this during the close season and yet there were those who disagreed with me. I now feel fully vindicated.

I do not blame Kuffour at all. It would have been a season wasted for him and the likelyhood of kicking off in League Two again next season is even more of an incentive to get away.

I have said before that we have made low quality signings so far of which wreak of just staying where we are and going nowhere.

Can anybody really argue with my previous post when I stated that the side is unbalanced, brittle, exposed, too lightweight, no fire-power in front of goal. We cannot seem to hit an elephants backside with a tennis racquet!!! The performance against Exeter fully backed this arguement.

This arguement is also strongly reflected in our current results and performences with only one goal scored from three league games with two of these games being at home!!!

Ladies and Gents, this stinks of relegation to me, and please do not state that we have on played three games etc etc. We simply do NOT LOOK LIKE IMPROVING!!!

Sadly, the game this Saturday at Port Vale has more than likely already been lost mainly due to what I have already stated.

Some people here need to open their eyes and accept that what I am saying is actually happening and accurate. It is NOT a case of gloom and doom mongering. It is just a case of seeing what is in front of you and seeing it how it is!!!!

We made our mistake by appointing a manager with no proper managerial experience and an assistant that has acheived nothing at his previous positions. It was of course the cheapest option and now we are paying the price. So what did anybody expect??? I am absolutely certain that a more experienced bod would have kept us up despite the 10 point deduction. I believe that Phil Brown was one of the candidates for the job and now look where he is managing now!!. The mind just boggles!!!

AND NO - THIS IS NOT A NEGATINE POST - JUST A REALITY CHECK!!!

Despite being a "Reality check" you can hardly claim that it is not a "Negative post". All we can do is get behind the lads and the management team and if we do that I'm sure things will improve. I know it's a cliche but we are only three games into the season. UTCIAD!

You also expertly predicted that once relegated, Sam Vokes was likely to be sold and that we would have a further points deduction ! Does your fortune telling know no bounds, and as I previously requested, can you let me have your copy of 'Rocket Science'!!!! You claim your post is not negative, but also claim Saturdays game is 'more than likely already lost'. I bet you are a bundle of fun at a party, I've had happier divorces! Are we going to see you at DC with your sandwich board proclaiming 'the end is nigh'! Do us a favour, go in a darkened room and lie down for about 10 years, and when you wake up, emigrate.

This is the situation we're in, moaning about it will not help. Any team would struggle for confidence having been relegated and then deducted 17 points. It's amazing what a few victories back to back can do though, just look at last season.

Good signing, and some commitment from the board, also looking at signing Connell full time, I hope the people asking for a new chairman are getting the message, as I said last week we have to give them time and see what they do in the transfer market, well hope you can now see things are happening, now all we need is the right man to lead them and everyone should start getting a little happier, I doubt it though as there are those on here who will never be happy with what's happening and whoever owns the club, why they are fans is beyond me at times.

So does everyone. My guess is only two or 3 players in each division hit the 25-30 mark these days in the league.
That would be some find, 25-30 goals a season man there are very few clubs in any league that have one of those, I would settle for a 15-20 goal man myself.

We have several players on loan and we have managers of Championship sides asking for us to take players, we have a lad from Liverpool no less, so where do you get the idea we are no longer a club players want to com on loan to? You have had it in for this team for as long as I can remember it's about time you supported the team, you have made your point quite clear now so come on are you up to it or not?

Another positive post about the team, and you wonder why things are not going so well with this kind of support, if you want them to lose then that's what you will get, why is it so hard to want them to win, people on here love it when things are going wrong, I would love to see what they would do if things improve which they will, they will have no one to vent their anger at, come on cherries prove these doubters wrong.

Can anybody really argue with my previous post when I stated that the side is unbalanced, brittle, exposed, too lightweight, no fire-power in front of goal. We cannot seem to hit an elephants backside with a tennis racquet!!! The performance against Exeter fully backed this arguement. This arguement is also strongly reflected in our current results and performences with only one goal scored from three league games with two of these games being at home!!! Ladies and Gents, this stinks of relegation to me, and please do not state that we have on played three games etc etc. We simply do NOT LOOK LIKE IMPROVING!!! Sadly, the game this Saturday at Port Vale has more than likely already been lost mainly due to what I have already stated. Some people here need to open their eyes and accept that what I am saying is actually happening and accurate. It is NOT a case of gloom and doom mongering. It is just a case of seeing what is in front of you and seeing it how it is!!!! We made our mistake by appointing a manager with no proper managerial experience and an assistant that has acheived nothing at his previous positions. It was of course the cheapest option and now we are paying the price. So what did anybody expect??? I am absolutely certain that a more experienced bod would have kept us up despite the 10 point deduction. I believe that Phil Brown was one of the candidates for the job and now look where he is managing now!!. The mind just boggles!!! AND NO - THIS IS NOT A NEGATINE POST - JUST A REALITY CHECK!!! Regards
Whether or not Phil Brown ever was seriously in the frame (and I doubt he was),what a fantastic job he has done to get to the Premier League with all the loan players he has had to field because Hull are completely skint, and he's had to replace injured players with even more loanees,not to mention the fact he got them promoted having lost 10 points for nothing to do with on-field matters;I'll even bet the fans gave him stick for that and he had to say to the players 'Go show 'em!Don't take any crap off that lot when we're playing so well.If we get promoted they might start on the chairman instead!!' I hope the players don't read all the negative vibes on these threads,cause as far as I saw they were all trying(although Pitman could have run more)just sometimes it doesn't go for you.

Not only they will moan about that they will most likely moan about the length it has taken. I think that this is excellent news and a step in the right direction I hope that in good time the team will be strengthened and we begin to score goals and gain points in the process. Come the Cherries you can do it.
Why would anyone moan about some positive news We need a keeper weve got one. Yes we do need a Striker Just because a few self included say it as it is doesnt make them negative if someone listens and acts on it surely . Maybe its frustration at the apathy shown but the way I see it the negative ones are the ones that just make pointless statements under various names and dont even go to the match If I was Savimutto I would rather have 6000 moaners (as you call them) going through the turnstiles that 4500 conformists.
The only thing I moaned about was the lies by the previous Board which I suppose in hindsight didnt make much difference but as I sure with some (mot all I agree) of the others doesnt mean you dont care and dont want the Club to do well
I just hope that we are not relying on hot air from the Boardroom to keep us up . Everytime I said the slightest thing about Good Old Jeff last Year I was slated and told He was the best thing that happened to the Club and he was going to sort it all out and we would have a bright future. Well in a way he did or rather these people did cos they got him away from the real control so I wont moan at anything like this because in my opinion the Club is a lot safer with Good Old Jeff in a executive role instead of a real one rant over up the cherries as allways

I have to agree with SMHINTO's honesty here. Yes we can post on here everything is wonderful and optimistic but I wonder how many posters if asked honestly what they think will happen this season what their answer would be? Let's not be silly here. If we all posted great lads wonderful performance we are right behind you onwards and upwards do you really think this will make a difference to the team Saturday? Likewise if we are honest here I doubt the team even reads this so it makes no difference.

So this is a place for us to share our feelings and if somebody wants to be critical then let them be rather than have ago at them. And of course the opposite.

Sorry rant over. Praying for at least a draw Saturday!

I know a fair few negative fans and I'm sure they do it so that they don't get disapointed when we don't walk the league.

That's fine if you want to be one but for those of us that like to hope for better and want to push on with the possitives find doom mongering counter productive.

It's much easier to rub a loss in someone's face then it is to offer solutions to the clubs many problems.

Very impressed with the optimistic outlook of "Plastic"East Stand re his "Negative Rubbish"comment.
Good for him, but it is usually accepted that reaching 50 points is safety from relegation. Does not that mean we are somewhat "Up the Creek" with a minus 17 points starter.
Never mind "Plastic" you have every right to instil some confidence in all of us and wouldn't it be wonderful for you, at the end of season, to be able to say to the more pessimistic supporter "I told you so".!!!!

True but the point I am really making is that I am pleased that we are still here and am not giving up on a resonable season yet . Your right though I am finding it very hard to hide my joy that with Good old Jeff gone at least we have a chance now so not going to get upset about the comings and goings of JK or a bloody Cricket match lol :0
