While Liverpool have been very keen to loan AFCB players like Nathaniel Clyne and Harry Wilson in the least two seasons and have seen the signings of Jordan Ibe and Dominic Solanke, they may find that AFCB's love affair with Anfield players is over. |
| AFCB are unlikely to spend further with Liverpool after recent signings. |
Bournemouth have delved into Liverpool's extras for a few years now. It is clear that Jurgen Klopp's players play in a way that Eddie Howe likes and wants to bring to AFCB. However, the acquisitions of the last few years have been pretty lukewarm at best. The signings that have been particularly expensive I imagine are those of Brad Smith, Jordan Ibe and Domoinic Solanke. None of these players have been able to pin down a permanent place in the first team and they have all failed to impress. We can't really say that about Harry Wilson, this year's loan signing but if Liverpool are looking at another £20m plus for his services, Bournemouth are unlikely to be following up on the young Welshman, especially if the club is playing in the Championship in 2020-21.

Harry Wilson has been a great credit to himself and Liverpool. He deserves a crack at the big time, be it at Liverpool or another big club, and it has been great to see such a player at AFCB. It would be nice to keep hold of him, but with David Brooks coming back AFCB have no need for Harry, Wilson's contract will be also up at the end of June unless Liverpool kindly offer to let AFC have hime until the completion of the season.
Bournemouth have in all honesty bought too many Liverpool players and the record doesn't show that these players have been a great fit for AFCB. The club has been more successful in recognising talent at lower league level and bringing them through, even if it has taken more time to see some of these players come through. So, if Liverpool think they can count on AFCB to keep paying over the odds for some of their players who are not up to the grade they may have to look elsewhere for buyers this summer.

Think its ridiculous to rule out all transfers from Liverpool due to a few previous bad eggs. I think we should definitely consider making the loan move permanent. We are looking at losing Fraser, Ibe and possibly King this summer leaving us short in proven wide options. Danjuma hasn't been a success yet either. Wilson's goal threat is priceless in this division. Think with more time he could be a real asset, especially linking up with the returning Brooks, they could be a real dynamic force.
ReplyDeleteWe cant make judgements on Danjuma...not had a chance. We can however say the Ibe was a car crash transfer and Solanke is no striker. Harry has been good for us but I agree Bournemouth do better bringing players on buying Liverpool castoffs has been bad for us.
