Gotta fancy them at home now 
Verdict on Eddie at CFC?
It was nice having him, we wish him well on his travels & think heās destined for the top.
Edit: Do you think KT will stay with arsenal?
KTās performance over the Scottish campaign has made some difference, heās blown AR away these last few games leading upto the qualifying and has only improved again in the last 2 games.
The result on Wednesday was mostly due to KTās performance on the left wing as a left full back again showing AR how to do it.
And since then thereās been a lot of talk that he is good enough to move up again.
A future captain for a top team they think, he definitely has the ability to do so, just needs a bit more experience in the Premier & him with Van Dyke could be on.
You had me confused there. I meant Howe for Celtic.
KT will stay as long as Arsenal keep improving. His injury record isnāt great and has to be carefully managed and an understudy LB is a priority this summer. Heās great but he wouldnāt suit teams who like their FBs to play inside and link up with the CMs instead of up and down the line.
Most of the podcasts & twitters seem to be happy & excited at the news, what can I say, tbh Iām not sure, not sold so to say, but there seems to be reports of a director of football he likes & some decent money getting spoken about being available, all rumours atm though.
So much is about the fit between manager and club so I wouldnāt worry about the end of his time at Bournemouth. Even some of the best have failed somewhere eg Clough at Leeds and Brighton.
Unfortunately it also means that dross like Allardyce, Redknapp, Bruce and Pulis were able to use this and shift seamlessly from one failure to the next.
Richard Hughes is being touted as a possible director of football.
It takes a strong character to survive up here even with success and I guess that my only worry now.
Yeah Iām impressed by his performance with Bournemouth in the lower divisions and such when he took them to 9th in the Premier league overall, never seen his teams though so only going off reports.
He tried to get Bournemouth to play in the modem, possession football, way. I think they were one of the first promoted teams not to resort to route 1 football.
But you do need technically able players to play that way, and maybe thatās what went wrong there.

I think if the basis of the team stays together, Macgreagor, Christie, turnbull, Ayer and julien coming back, with the outgoings he should have +30 million to spend & hopefully knows a few already.
Soro too.
Tierney is great, but what better team would pay 50+ for him? Heās not playing in Spain for the big two. Bayern have two better LB. That leaves basically just city, Chelsea, United and pool.
Bournemouth spent worse than any recent club. They are in incredible debt and didnāt even have a strong squad. They spent well over a hundred million on a good championship squad.
