Cherries complete Addison deal (UPDATED)
1:30pm Thursday 12th July 2012 in Cherries News
Cherries have completed the signing of Miles Addison for an undisclosed fee.
The Derby County man penned a three-year deal at Dean Court this afternoon following talks with the Dorset club.
The news brings to a close the long-running transfer saga surrounding Addison, who Cherries have been trying to bring in throughout the summer after the Rams made him available.
Cherries chairman Eddie Mitchell had earlier confirmed to the Daily Echo that Addison was close to agreeing a move to the League One outfit.
Boss Paul Groves has made no secret of his desire to land Addison following his impressive loan spell with Cherries last season.
Addison has played as both a central defender and midfielder during his career, but Groves is most likely to use him at the heart of his back four.
The Cherries manager is now expected to turn his attentions to recruiting a left-back.

As I've said previously Addison will satisfy our midfield thug requirement, with Zubar and Cook at centre back and cover from Adam Barrett. No need to spend any more money. Just get on with it PG.

We are beginning to see the side take on a new look now - Miles will fill the centre-back position - Which gives us a 'larger presence'and solid 'spine' through the team, more than we have had for a long time.
Shwan (6'2"+) Miles (6'2"+) and Frank (6'2"+) !
All looking very good for our coming campaign !

We've got 24 first team players (excluding players such as Strugnell, Carmichael and the rest of the 'development squad') and there seems to be a few more on the way. Adding to this, we'll probably get some short-term loans in during the season. And no-one seems to be leaving (although I'm sure Pugh will by August). With a squad of 25+, we're not going to keep anyone happy(Including Demin, who's paying unnecessary wages). Players such as Molesley, Fletch, Sheringham, Stockley, Partingdon are not going to get any gametime
So glad that this is concluded. Still say I'd rather see him in the middle of the park though. But then who to take out, we're gonna need to play 18 players next season to keep everyone happy

A Cook, Zubar partnership in the centre of defence with Addison in midfield for me.

We have so many forwards that we need a proper anchor man to close out space to attack on the break. Seriously, we can't really justify a midfield full of artistry. I love MacDonald, Gregory, McDermott but if you add Grabban and McQuoid as non striker forwards we are over loaded. It's a hard team to pick and form will play a big part now we've cover almost everywhere, but I'd be looking to Jalal;Daniels, Francis, Zubar, Cook;Addison, MacDonald, Grabban, McDermott;DeMouge, Tubbs
But form and opposition will play a part in selection, if we can be tactically aware and flexible, this could be a great season. We certainly have the actors, let's hope they get the right script and direction

I think he is the luckiest footballer at that club, never worth a contract and I dont think he will play this year in a decent side.

-
On a slighter brighter note, their first team squad had dropped to eight players, all of whom will have to go. Brighter is relative. I don't wish this to be happening to Pompey or any other club.

The trouble is i fear that PG has got this obsession with playing Arter, who, imo, wouldn't even make the subs bench !
Zubar is a must for me. But once again PG didn't see it that way for the 8 games in charge.
Its a worry.

Having the bulk of our transfer activity completed so early is reassuring & gives us opportunity to look forward to start of season with some optimism. Wwell done to club for getting bussiness done early.

Well that's Zubar done for then. Cook will most likely get off without a prison sentence so it's Addison and Cook at centre back.
