Lee Barnard to train with AFCB from Tuesday?

He deserves better then a move to the next South Coast club to enter financial meltdown.

 

Nothing against Bournemouth but he should be aiming higher. Then again, if he is settled in the area it would make a certain degree of sense.

With respect to Bournemouth, he's better than where they are currently.

 

Barnard is good enough to be playing Championship football, although he may well fancy being a key player for a side chasing promotion in League One.

 

Wherever he goes next, I'll wish him well as he's been a great servant to Saints during his time here.

League 1 is his level as he is unproven in the Championship so I cannot see many Championship teams being that interested. A good finisher who works hard but does he have anything that special which would make you think he would score regularly at a higher level, not for me.

Would be a really good move for him i think, he's probably at best a top of league one/bottom of championship striker and Bournemouth are on the up at the moment.

 

Would be nice to see him get them promoted too, since after all the shi.t they've been through recently they deserve some success. Plus it's great to see other south coast sides (with the exception of the cheating skate cun.ts) do well.

Nicely put Eric. I don't hold much truck for the rivalry a few (on both sides) try to kindle.

Good move for him, he hasn't made it a proper club due to injuries and issues. He needs to get his career back on track and one good season at the red few might get him back on track. Move on, we can do better.
Agree, LB is unproven at NPC level so AFCB would be a fair move for him. Hopefully he'll score at least a brace v the Fish rapists !

Remember that AFCB were a strong team on promotion to L1 in 2010 and finished in a play-off spot in 2010/11 only 4 places below Saints when we finished 2nd to Brighton. Lee Barnard would be a good addition for them and it would be great to see them in the Championship.

Unfair to say he's unproven at Championship level, SRL was up until last season. I reckon he could do better than Bournemouth TBH and if a team that makes loads of chances like Peterborough or Huddersfield come in for him, he would do a great job for them.

 

It's not unfair to say he is unproven at Championship level. He is unproven at that level, he got no games last year so Champ managers have little to go on. He is a proven goalscorer though, but not every striker make the jump up like Lambert did.

The loan is supposedly to fund new signings. It is a bit odd; the other shareholder (the Russian chap) is seriously minted, so not sure why they needed the loan.

 

Some creative accounting around the new Financial Fair Play rules maybe?

Didn't their pis shead chairman have to get a huge bank loan recently to fund this seasons wages?

 

It all seems a bit shady to me. The 6m loan comes from a company that the Russian dude is involved with.

Something odd about their new stadium sponsor too.

I fully expect them to get the matchball of administrations within the next 2 years.

Good move to a good little club.

 

Despite some knobs a few years ago, i like Boscombe and would love to see their fans rewarded with promotion.

 

Yep. I like Bournemouth and always hope they do well. Remember the PA announcement at SMS a few years ago announcing AFCB had been promoted and our fans applauding.

 

Shame their chairman and a small number of their fans are tossers though.
