This story doesn’t seem to have been picked up by anyone else.

I’d love it if Antoine did the player presser later!!!

It’s going to be a interesting press conference

Such a joke.   I hope we are telling them to do one with bells on if true.

I guess need to weigh up how many of them are realistic.

One of them I’m guessing will be if they stay up - so that’s one off the list! 

[Winterstoke toad]

Heard a few people say he’ll be gone tomorrow definitely if not earlier. Not claiming to be itk just what’s been said . 

[Sturny]

He has an increasingly bright future, but i still think it's a bit of a strange purchase for them in their position.

I don't think he'll make any immediate effect for them in the prem. If they go down i'm sure he'll be a great asset to head back up. 

But surely their main january business is to ensure their survival?

Jackson undergoing second part of Bournemouth medical

Nicolas Jackson is going through the second phase of his Bournemouth medical today as planned, contrary to media reports of a failed medical.

When the club agreed a deal with Villarreal they were aware of a hamstring issue for the player and are conducting further tests to confirm the extent of the injury.

Should these tests throw up something unexpected, the club may revisit the deal but the process they’re currently going through is as planned.

I wish I’d waited 2 mins to post….it’s all happening now.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

[petehinton]

Sounds like we want the cash, but he wants palace. I’d expect this to have multiple updates throughout the day. And probably get quite messy.

Will be a big loss imho.

But it will quickly turn to how do we recruit to improve the squad.

What do you think of the reported fee Dave? Seems light to me. 

[Finley_Smith10]

maybe we can ask for Siriki Dembele on loan 

[James54De]

I wonder how “significant” these add ons actually are. Hopefully atleast 5 million total. 3 million if they stay up. 

[cityexile]

I assume the £10m was up to £10m then, as clearly they will have not reduced their offer. £9m min with 'significant add ons' feels a little light but could still well be the biggest Championship sale this window.

First time for a long long time I’ve been disappointed about a player leaving

That for me is the key. The squad as a whole need to improve, not just the forward line.

I wonder whether Palace will come in a bit higher now, talksport somewhat forcing their hand. We know this probably came from the Bournemouth end.

 

[Red Army 75]

I trust Richard Gould to get the best deal. This could prompt another bid from a club.

[Vidal]

Unfortunately with only 1.5 years on contract we have to accept this fee which is a fair one.

I’m sure Tinman and the new CEO are involved as well.

For sure. Just glad he’s here until the end of the window. Going to be a interesting end to it 

[ChubStixx]

And that's that then. Would have been nice to have had him around for another season, but there we go.

Complication of course is Conway’s injury & Martin being out in the cold.

Realistically Wells, Weimann & the inexperienced Bell isn’t enough until TC is back.

What yesterday showed though is when we know a deal is happening then we have a plan in place.

If Kalas stays fit & presuming Dasilva doesn’t depart, I actually think we are ok defensively.

Looks like Scott is sticking around so with him, James, Naismith playing in MF, Williams & King as cover, plus Sykes’ versatility we are not too badly served there, either.

Yeah, totally agree with this.

I can't remember the last time we had a striker with pace and power, and will probably be a long time until we see one again.

I think AS will want to go to Palace, the draw of London and a more established team..

Absolutely. Either way his salary will be dramatically higher I'd had thought.

I can’t have it that £9m fee and hope Gould tells them where to shove it. Hold out for £12m.
