Cherries: James signs and Thomas completes Pompey switch
4:20pm Friday 28th September 2012 in Sport
By Neil Meldrum
WES Thomas has joined Cherries' League One rivals Portsmouth on loan, while the Dorset club have this afternoon completed the signing of former England goalkeeper David James.
The Portsmouth News this afternoon reported that Pompey boss Michael Appleton was hopeful of completing an initial one-month deal for out-of-favour Cherries striker Thomas and the former Crawley man's move along the south coast has in the past hour been finalised.
The 25-year-old has featured just four times for Cherries this season and has failed to find the net in his past 11 appearances for Paul Groves's side - scoring just once in 22 games for the Dorset club.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper James has this afternoon completed his move to Cherries, as predicted in today's Daily Echo.
The former Liverpool stopper has put pen to paper on a deal until the end of the season after agreeing terms yesterday.
The 42-year-old linked up with Paul Groves’s squad at Goldsands Stadium and is in contention to start against Walsall tomorrow.

I very much doubt they are paying any of his wages. They are still in administration

A good League Two standard player who will do well at that level with Pompey next season.
If it goes ahead, good luck Wes!

The players appear to be earning too much and on long term contracts.
We need Harry in to sort the squad out and see the wood from the trees.
Graham Westley has gone in at Preston and has shipped out 26 players from last years squad bringing in younger players on smaller salaries and with more desire. We need to do something similar.
Players wages should be linked to performance like out in the real world.

Tom is no doubt on youtube right now looking for players to get him and his family out of trouble.

I'm gonna bet on Thomas scoring tomorrow....

Good move, hope it goes well. David James on board is a good thing. I reckon him and Harry will be managing the team and Paul Groves is a trophy manager. Eddie seems to be getting all these experienced people in to help ailing Groves. How the hell are we as fans meant to have faith in Groves when AFC Bournemouth have none?

Wes has only scored 1 more than David James has in the last 22 matches. Give Wes the gloves and stick Jamo upfront, let's see what happens?
And so true!!

Play Zubar in midfield. Drop Parts and O'kane.

Thomas only stopped scoring after Groves decided to change the system.
James won't sort out the appalling centre back partnership we have in Elphick and Addison.
