$22.1M settles it between the clubs for Adam Idah

Swansea 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.

Milan Knobloch damages knee ligaments — 51 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 51 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Transfer targets29 Jan 2029

Door shut on Tammy Abraham

Bournemouth asked and Southampton said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The dugout29 Jan 2029

Teddie Bloomfield: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Bournemouth have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match27 Jan 2029

5 matches without a win for Bournemouth

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Bournemouth are no longer polite ones.

Market29 Jan 2029

Bournemouth sell Ryan Christie for $1.3M

Ryan Christie has left for Newcastle United in a $1.3M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets29 Jan 2029

An offer of $130.0K for Max Crocombe

Bournemouth have gone to Burnley 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.

Match27 Jan 2029

Bournemouth cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad29 Jan 2029

Tyler Goodrham makes it 200

200 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.

Market1 Jan 2029

Eugene Nyarko asks to leave Bournemouth

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market1 Jan 2029

Xavi Simons wants more than Bournemouth are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad1 Jan 2029

A falling-out at Bournemouth

Lewis Cook and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings1 Jan 2029

Xavi Simons was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market1 Jan 2029

Bournemouth may not be able to give David Brooks what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. David Brooks wants continental football; whether Bournemouth can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

The dugout1 Jan 2029

Alex Scott gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings1 Jan 2029

Both jobs done by Marcus Tavernier — 6.87

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 12 actions, 6.87, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Match30 Dec 2028

Aston Villa take the points off Bournemouth

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad1 Jan 2029

Nicholas Hunter out for 48 days

The medical room confirms 48 days on the sidelines for Nicholas Hunter, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

In brief
