I hope Bournemouth go up! Would be nice to see how Yann, Francis and Harry Arter get on in the premier league!
I hope Bournemouth go up mainly because otherwise I can see the club folding with the amount the have spent, and as a football fan I would hate that to happen to a club(Well maybe I would not be so bothered if it happened to our South London/Croydon neighbors)
Bournemouth are owned by a Russian oligarch. I think they would be alright.
I see that Bournemouth have brought in Kenwyne-Jones on loan from Cardiff. They already have Wilson and Pitman as well as Yann. Just a 4th choice/back-up signing or is Yann's place under threat?
ther's no way that Jones is going to replace either Pitman or Kermorgant who are both having almost unbelievably good seasons .. he's been signed as insurance against injury .. Wilson is injured a t m .. one more injury to a striker could seriously harm Bournemouth's promotion run in
Kind of agree, but I see Pitman as a similar type of player to Wilson, whereas K-J is more similar to Yann. I'd still put Yann ahead of K-J but he's serious competition.
I agree .. at this time of year there are only a few decent strikers available to loan .. Jones has pace like Wilson and like Kermorgant he is good in the air, he is no Yann the Man though .. all in all, Jones is a good compromise, BUT he is forever flattering to deceive .. I can't see him getting much game time @ the Cherries
Bournemouth get promoted. Yann comes back on loan in November and the move is made permanent in January.
Thoughts?
Doubt Yann would come back with the current ownership after the falling out.
In all honesty though, whilst I'd like to see him play again for us there are other options out there (eg Cifty or whatever he's called) that are younger and have resale value.
I knew he would score it, he always does from that kind of range. Absolutely fantastic free kick. If fate is kind, he will end up here again, play a few more seasons, then come back as manager a few years later and win us the Premier League title
Picking up the photo of him I bid for from the post office tomorrow! Pride of place on my wall.
Edit: My girlfriend wants to point out she is the one collecting it, I can't be bothered.
I know they play more football on the desk than CAFC did in the years that Yann was here but he doesn't seem to have missed many games through injure. But the difference is they have 5 strikers so he can sit out a few games, or be an impact sub.
The original french monster. Roland you are a prick, you should have given that guy the extra dough, he is so bloody good and he loves this club. You sign pp, reza, Tucudean for whatever amounts but wouldn't give the fantastic french man who would put his body on the line for this club a few extra quid. Mug
I categorically told Meire at last year's VIP meeting letting him go was a disastrous error. Today's performance proved, if it needed it, that she cocked up big time.

Kermorgant-Bournemouth V Ipswich
Ince-Brighton V Swindon
Westcarr-Portsmouth V Yeovil
Mangan -Shrewsbury V Dagenham
and my personal choice
Garner-Preston V Rotherham
I miss you Yann. :-(

All of those by JBG were mirages, I tell you!

Hoping for better judgement in transfer dealings this summer
