Transfer targets

$81.0M settles it between the clubs for Omar Marmoush

Manchester City have accepted the money. What Bournemouth do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Transfer targets

An offer of $92.4M for Destiny Udogie

Bournemouth have gone to Tottenham with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Bournemouth have gone to Norwich City with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Henry Cooper has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
