Title: Bournemouth recruitment
Post by: ffcne on May 10, 2026, 05:22:20 PM
A lot talk over the last couple of days about this on here.
With lots of names mentioned .
Was reading this morning about James Hill played at centre half aged 24
Picked up for 1 million from Fleetwood back in 2022.
Had loan spells at Hearts and Blackburn.Called back in 2024.
Looking like a bit of good business again
Meanwhile we waste money on overrated stars.
There's plenty of gems in the football League.

Need some decent signings in the summer.

Like Robinson signed from Wigan for £2m.

They also signed Siriki Dembele at the same time. He played (not a lot) for a year with them, went to Auxerre on loan for 6 months and then he was sold to Birmingham. He now plays for Oxford and they got relegated from the Championship, as I am sure you know.

Yes, there are some gems to be found in the lower leagues and I would like Fulham to be more active in taking a few such risks. But let's not pretend that all the other teams (Bournemouth now - Palace, Brentford, Brighton on other threads) are amazing at identifying such talents and we are not.

Imagine Rayan and Kevin on the wings in tandem... what a destructive pair that would be.
