Cherries: Thomas completes Blackpool loan switch and Molesley joins Plymouth
4:33pm Thursday 22nd November 2012 in Cherries News
BLACKPOOL have completed the loan signing of Cherries star Wes Thomas.
The 25-year-old striker was last week understood to have handed in a transfer request and has now linked up with the Championship outfit until January 1.
Tangerines boss Michael Appleton is a known admirer of Thomas after the former Crawley Town man's successful loan spell at Portsmouth earlier this season.
Thomas notched three goals in seven games at Fratton Park under Appleton, before the Lancastrian replaced Ian Holloway as Blackpool manager earlier this month.
Mark Molesley, meanwhile, has joined League Two side Plymouth on a month-long loan deal, which could be extended.
Cherries youngster Josh Wakefield has also moved on loan to League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge.

Still cant understand why eddie howe brought him back from portsmouth but has only played 10 minutes for us, i think he need more of a chance. I think send back barnard and release demouge and then we have a great strikeforce. Would be nice to see charlie sheringhaam when hes back, thought he was a promising player!

Interesting move for thomas but i think he will struggle.

Yes Tubbs did bail us out on Tuesday, but i cannot help that we will more than likely get more goals out of Thomas than we will Tubbs.

Mike Oxbig wrote:Mike Oxbig is absolutely right with his comments. I thought it was a clever move to bring Thomas back in particular as I dont think that Portsmouth won a game immediately following his return. I also think that Thomas could have played a big part for AFC but if it is true that he handed in a transfer request (probably at the instigation of Mr Appleton!) then that also demonstrates the strength of our own management to get rid if someone is not prepared to pledge loyalty and work for the right to play!

Good luck to Thomas. Personally I would keep him at AFCB more than I would Tubbs (my views on him are well documented). Tubbs is a reasonable player but not League One material i believe.

Good luck to those who have gone out on loan but I don't expect Thomas or Molesley to be back.
Can't wait to see Brett back in a Bournemouth shirt although I'm not sure who's place he will take. Probably McQuoid. Possibly Barnard who may now think he's off back to Stains in January.

Just like defenders making mistakes can lead to goals constantly missing easy chances ( particularly one on ones ) lose points. Sometimes players just can't do it at certain teams, I really hope he does well at Blackpool cos I love to see a honest player that gives his all and doesn't hide when things aren't going for him.
Agree 100% abc100

He can't play along side Grabbon that's the issue here, I don rate Gabbon my self, but every one to their own. If we had another young Fletcher then Tubbs would be in the starting 11 every time

Tubbs is gaining in confidence game by game and knows where the goal is. He completely changed the game Tues night when he came on. A natural goal scorer in any league just like Charlie Austyn has been. Pitman and Tubbs is the way fwd which I suspect Eddie is now leaning twds.

WE DONT NEED TO SELL OR LOAN ANYONE ELSE-WHAT WE DO NEED IS STRENGTH IN DEPTH-IT WAS DAFT RECALLING WES THOMAS WITH ALL THAT FUSS WITH APPLETON & THEN GIVING THOMAS BACK TO HIM?ALBEIT AT A DIFFERENT CLUB- WHAT WAS ALL THAT ABOUT?I BELIEVE HE WOULD HAVE SCORED GOALS FOR US-WE NEED TO KEEP EVERYONE NOW & SIGN COVER FOR BOTH FULL BACK POSITIONS SUGGEST RYAN DICKSON AND BUTTERFIELD AT SOUTHAMPTON-GREAT CAPTURE BRETT PITMAN& WE NEED TO SIGN LEE BARNARD PERMANTLY IN JANUARY HE HAS WORKED HARD FOR US AND HAS BEEN INTREGAL PART OF OUR UNBEATEN RUN, MUST PLAY AT BURY TOMORROW...
STEADY EDDIE 1 for the road

We didnt give Thomas a chance after promising that he would get one,and then allow spoilt child appleton another chance to sign him? crazy in my opinion

Any spare players lend them to Pompey

You'd expect him to put it past the keeper once or twice at least. Early in that game he was clean through - what did he do? POST. I suppose he did well to hit that. A powerful athletic guy who causes defences problems with his non stop hassling but a goal scorer no. If he goes on to score a few in the championship I'll eat my words but I think it's safe to say he won't.
He knocked his own confidence by missing 2 yard sitters !!! Good riddence i say as we have far better strikers at this club which some people just can't grasp.
In Ed we trust. The man is a legend.
