Adams to Bournemouth

Bournemouth won't get relegated. For one their owner
is too savvy and too determined (see what he did with
the Las Vegas Golden Knights in a short space of time).

And their coach isn't half bad. Good recruitment on top
of all that. They might be this season's surprise team.

If the clause has been triggered, that 20 mill is an up front payment. Not a year on year payment.

Probably been discussed but, silver lining is, all of these
relegation clauses do have an expiry date. Some rumours saying that's midnight tonight. Others saying
it's tomorrow. Whatever it is, it explains the madness
ove rthe last few days. Agents scrambling to get their
players out of Leeds.

Embarrassing it’s them but I’m not too fussed if he goes. Ampadu is an excellent replacement I think and we can use that £20m now.

Agree Stoopo - being done over by a big club is to be expected, but Bournemouth ffs? However, looking ahead to next season, there's a good chance they'll be joining us in the Championship – that would prove a consolation of sorts.

I would be shocked if Bournemouth came down. Far worse sides in the PL this season, and their recruitment has been good.

I have to confess there's a bit of wishful thinking there Lubo...

Probably five teams in this years PL that would be dead certs for relegation most other seasons, in my opinion. Luton, Sheff United, Wolves, Everton & Forest. A couple others like Burnley and West Ham that I could see struggling but could also have good years.

Wolves played Man U off the park and had they had a better striker they would have won so on that showing and assuming they'll try and add a new centre forward I'd say Wolves will survive comfortably.

You have to say Luton and Shef Utd will occupy 2 of the 3 relegation spots with for me Everton, Bournemouth, Forest and Burnley scrapping for survival... I think Wolves West Ham and Palace will be fine and Fulham and Brentford mid table and the usual suspects above them.

I see Popey’s keeping count. When Adam’s goes, that’ll be 11 players from the end of last season who’ve gone. I’m actually in support of getting rid of those that don’t want to be here. It’s the manner of the departures (won’t mention the loans fiasco again - oops - just did!) and the lack of replacements that I have a beef with.

A couple of weeks ago it was exit these players get £120m now we’re excited if we can get £20m

It’s classic from owners, don’t say anything let fans do all the defending of situation.

There is nothing to have stopped 49ers spending, nothing, and farke fid make the point a couple of weeks ago about if you want promotion, you need to be willing to invest.

I don’t want to hear a single word about stadium development until they’ve invested in team development first.

The whole point of parachute payments is to soften the blow, where on Earth has all the money gone?

Yes indeedy.

I initially hated the idea of us losing Wober and Adams but I've come to the conclusion our greatest issue is our insane injury issues

We haven't seen Adams for ages. The injuries at the start of this season are yet again hammering us

Cooper, Adams, Bamford, Sinisterra etc - it's a massive issue

I'm ok with Adams leaving for 20m if we recruit well to replace
