In amongst Eddie howes talent for motivating and team ethic he's a good choice being their club and team captain I'm sure. Although injured and missed quite a few games he seems more of a warrior than lescott and Richards . Lot of Bournemouth folk considering it a done deal apparently

He was in an episode of Auf Weidersein Pet as well, I think Oz ended up chinning him.

And he played George Cooper, Jimmy's old man, in Quadrophenia

This boon signing has all the hallmarks of a Lerner type purchase.

Even if the takeover isn't 100% surely we've gotta to start to strengthen now, Club has sky money, sponsor money etc?

But no transfer window.

He is a totally immobile lump who won't have got any quicker over the course of this last year. If he's coming here as a defensive coach with some brief as a registered player then that is perfectly OK. Otherwise, Jesus H. C. I hope he's not putting too big a dent in that lovely 50 mill that Dr X has earmarked for player acquisition.

Shall we put you down as 'undecided'?

I know nothing of Tommy Elphick as a footballer but I did see him as a guest on Soccer Sunday earlier this year and he came across very, very well. He seemed a decent guy with his head screwed on. He was very much the opposite of the much maligned "modern footballer", more of which would be welcomed by fans and staff alike at BH I'm sure.

I think he played a character named McGowan in one of the early ones. Oz was pissed off because he nicked the dartboard.

Did Wayne bang his daughter or am I thinking of another episode?

Contracts run July to July, but there's nothing stopping anyone from agreeing transfer fees and terms whenever they want.

I think the lack of anything happening along with the mini heatwave is sending forum posters in here a bit funny. Are there any threads left still talking about the subject matter in the title thread?

I don't think there ever has been. Whatever the weather, and long may it continue.

To be fair if you want a forum where the threads don't quite often meander then I suggest H&V isn't for you.

Thanks, I'd like to hedge my bets with this one.
