http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...terested-Bournemouth-defender-Steve-Cook.html 25 yr old Bournemouth defender.
The article says we only have 4 central defenders (misses out Cathcart and Kabasale) so not sure how accurate it is!
I rate this transfer rumour... 1/10. He's their captain; not out of contract; it's a sideways move; they probably pay more than we do (if Iturbe and Wilshere are anything to go by); he can communicate with his current manager; and finally, he's young, British and an established Premier League player so would cost a fortune.
Enough of this sensible post with sound logic. Ignoring the highly unlikely probability of this move happening I hope this is the sort of deal we will be looking at in the summer.
Absolutely the sort of player I want to see coming in. But as stated by others above I just cannot see it unfortunately.
Anyone who thinks this is a sideways move should take a look at where Bournemouth players train every day. Bleak.
Well he'll be used to being in a weak defence then. Seems to be much better as a centre half than right back so guess it would depend on where we'd want to play him. Probably won't come anyway - cannot see them selling to a rival.
If we are going to be sniffing round Bournemouth players I'd prefer it was Josh King that we were interested in.
Why would we want a defender from a team whose defence is probably as bad, most likely worse than ours? I don't get it!
9 clean sheets this season I'm sure I read earlier. Better than us. And the other week I saw him being linked with an England call up in one of the national papers, basically saying if Keane is contention he should be too.
I think Bournemouths goal against figure is more to do with their style of play and general team shape than one player so I wouldn't be put off by that.
To be fair Deeney has been linked to an England call up on and off whenever he scores a goal, and England have had such notable caps as Nugent and Ricketts in the past, so I wouldn't hold onto those rumours as a hugely positive reason behind signing him.
