Finally some good AFCB news

Since Bournemouth's relegation to the Championship it has been a case of who is going to follow Eddie Howe out the door? While the tam has already seen the sale of Nathan Aké, it may be that they do get to keep hold of one of their young stars in Lloyd Kelly, or at least we now know he is unlikely to be going to Merseyside.
Lloyd Kelly might just be a player AFCB can hold on to.
This comes after the Athletic reported that Michael Edwards was annoyed at being out maneuvered by Lloyd Kelly's agent last summer when Bournemouth came in late to grab Kelly from Bristol City for £13m, right under the noses of Liverpool. if Bournemouth can keep hold of Kelly, he would be the ideal player to build a strong defence around, having himself showed his adaptability to play at left back or centre-half.

While Lloyd Kelly might be staying with Liverpool turning their attention to Jamal Lewis instead, Bournemouth fans may also be heartened by the news that Ryan Fraser has found that both Arsenal and Spurs are unlikely to give him the 100,000 a week contract he was hoping for. He has been considering offers from Crystal Palace and Fulham which are more likely to be in the 50,000 a week range. This is considerably less than what he is believed to have been offered at Bournemouth, reports The Sun.

Perhaps Bournemouth's bad luck is finally coming to an end. It's been a torrid time and supporters desperately need to hear some better news, although I'm not sure that anyone is overjoyed about John Terry applying for the vacant manager's job at AFCB.

Bournemouth fans might have more chance of seeing Harry Arter walking around Dean Court again though. Fulham did not trigger the buy clause in his loan contract as he didn't play enough games for them. This still leaves Arter with a year to go on his AFCB contract. Have the football gods got tired of punishing AFCB?

 In other news, Sheffield United's £12m bid for Aaron Ramsdale is rejected, reports
The Daily Mail.

    I can't help feeling Ryan Fraser has been woefully misadvised by his agent. Even if he had secured an elite club, there is no guarantee he would be a regular starter or that the system would have suited his talents. It's understandable that he would been frustrated by the team's lack of progress, but he could have done a lot more at AFCB. Many pundits and observers do not really understand the special ability to produce an early pinpoint cross or think ahead while still waiting for the ball to arrive. It was only when he appeared at the top of the assists table in 2019 that they really took any notice.

    It's likely we will see Callum Wilson and Josh King leave but if we can keep hold of the rest of the squad it wont be too much of a rebuild in the summer. Just need 1 or 2 attacking replacements and we will be fine. Ricky Jade Jones or Ivan Toney be good.

    Fraser compared to Ake..both moved but look how poor Fraser looks and what professionalism Ake showed. Different class you got a lot to learn wee man, you let yourself down. Most afcb fans wish Nathan all the best and it's because he is a professional and a gent. I hope Fraser learns from this.

    Over 65 years of supporting cherries,I can't see the point of Mr. Tindle replacing Eddie as we need a change of direction. Otherwise preferred to keep Eddie.
