Eddie Howe has made it pretty clear that it is unlikely that Bournemouth will be able to pick up a player this January. While I still think a loan deal could be done, time is running out. But is it a bad thing that no player come sin this January? I wonder if it could work out better this way for AFCB, with more harmony in the camp.
Looking at previous January signings, they haven't all clicked straight away. But Bournemouth would need an immediate player to fit in, if they paid the cash in this window. When you are in a relegation battle, it is important not to rock the boat too much. Bournemouth could be more united and run a tighter ship if the players are fully focused on the task and united. The players all know each other and they don't have to be afraid of speaking their mind. They'll know what upsets other characters and what makes them laugh.
We need the players to feel they are all in this together. If they come through it they will be better than ever. A shared struggle is something that the players can all draw on in the future and they'll know that the players they are next to are reliable. At the moment Bournemouth are in the thick of it. We don't know who the strong characters are, but Eddie Howe needs to keep those players onside and pulling the others with them.
It is probably not a great time to bring a fresh player or two in, unless they can make a big impact and immediate. It could be money wasted and we have seen that players need time to get into this Bournemouth team. Even David Brooks had to bide his time and finding another such gem in January doesn't look like happening. But it isn't necessarily a bad thing from what I can see.

Might they cope and are the positives, yes I would agree.
ReplyDeleteHowever, we are light at centre half. If Ake gets snapped up by Chelsea, then even worse.
Can't predict the future, but if one point turns out to be difference and one player could have earned that point, don't see problem.
This 'Together' thing is great but it also leads to mistaken loyalties. There are a couple in the team currently with undoubtedly enough talent to be Prem Leag, but because they have a major difficiency they lead to the errors that cost. If we are to get a 3 draws away from to help stay up, then we need pace at the back. No amount of good moral will keep you up with Raheem Sterling or Mahrez if they run at you.
Watching and listening to AFC Bournemouth games it's time that the likes of Callum Wilson. Harry Wilson. Jordan ibe. & Ryan Fraser either show their best or move on, likewise Domonic salankie.
