So with Nathan Ake (£41m) already gone, we are now in the dangerous position of seeing a lot of media talk around several other big names, some of which were expected, others, we should be looking to keep hold of if we’re serious about the club’s future…
For me, Ake was a given regardless of what league we were in, as was probably Joshua King and Callum Wilson. Newcastle now showing interest in both, but realistically just Wilson… With these three players we could bring circa £100m into the club (King £20-£35m and Wilson (£15-£25m)… So is that enough to see us through…? Surely…!
Where will King be next season?
AFCB
Premier League
France
Italy
So now with Brooks’ rumour of a huge £35m to Liverpool and Ramsdale a possible target still for Sheff Utd Ramsdale a possible target still for Sheffield United (£20+m offer), where does the club stop…When do we begin to say ‘not for sale’…?
Will Brooks stay with AFCB next season?
Yes
No - Liverpool
No - Someone else
Would you take £150m and lose Ake, King, Wilson, Brooks and Ramsdale…?
In my opinion, given we’re also not sure on Jefferson Lerma being here, there is possibly going to be no nucleus left, no core of the team left, a huge rebuild job to be done in a record short time…
I guess it depends on AFC Bournemouth owner Max Demin’s priority here. If he wants to sell the club he needs us realistically back in the Premier League and that is gonna be a huge job if we lose that list of players… Does he just wants to coin in on the current lot and still hope to sell up asap (which doesn’t make sense really as he’ll more than likely have to wait a couple of years to get all this money in)? Or is this now a stabilisation and slowly rebuild the club from the ground-up process… Is that the ‘new direction’… Doesn’t really sit with his letter of intent to getting us back to the Premier League asap.
It’s great to see some money coming into the club (potentially) but slightly worrying also to see so many big names being lined up to leave (potentially)…
Your say…

Losing those above were expected, apart from Ramsdale but probably adding Lerma in too. I would take £150m for those easily.
We’ve been in trouble for some time and those names were known ages ago as targets so as a club that is organised on the transfer front we’ll have no issue moving quickly on suitable targets we’ve already identified ourselves…. – Join the conversation, click here.
