He hasn't. His position is the exact same, towards the end of the article he says the chances are slim & highly unlikely. But never say never.

In other words, he doesn't have any new news but has to publish a story & generate some clicks. So he's stuck an enticing title onto a load of waffle.
His content is better than James Shields, but then again...
 
As far as I'm concerned, no news is good news on this lad. Simply put we don't want anyone else making an offer for him this week. I'm sure we have asked, or will ask the question to Bournemouth quietly later in the week.

No way he'd rather play for Bournemouth in the Championship, than rejoin us in the Prem.
Simple as that.

N.B. We can scrape together the first annual installment/loan fee for a top player.

I actually think he'd benefit more from having a run of games with Bournemouth in the Championship (who should be attacking that division) rather than joining another relegation battle with us, where he may struggle to showcase his skills & put himself in the shop window to the big boys.

You honestly think we'll struggle this season CaptainM ? Personally, i think we'll be ok (providing the signings Wilder wants the board makes sure are brought in.. Probably our most important transfer window EVER imo. The way im looking at it at the moment is that we've been no where near full tilt yet and had it not been for either bad luck/bad finishing or abysmal refereeing decisions we would have got some points on the board. We havent though, yet. Im surely things will pick up. Bad results the first few games off the seasom havent been a rare occurance under Wilder so im thknking it might be worth holding tight because if history is anything to go by we should be about to take off. Fingers crossed anyway pal 🤞👍

See my post in the Rodon thread and it appears we are of a like mind, there is enough doom and gloom with Covid let’s be positive!

Ridiculous. No offence, but even you can't believe that.

Furthermore he was hardly in a relegation battle last season, as he was injured for nearly all of it. If fit they'd probably have finished nearer mid-table. You know, somewhere closer to where our own non-relegation battling team finished.

Spot on bertie mate. Once the ball starts rolling we'll be fine i reckon. Got full faith in CWAK and this team. Cant be understated though how important thjs transfer window is. Even more so now with Joc out long term. Really hope the board push the boat out a little here. Theyve got to realise that Chris wouldnt over spend on any player. Like he once said, he treats the clubs money as if it were his own. Theres no way he'd risk hurting the club. He's the absolute opposite of 'reckless', he must be most Chairman's dream manager in that respect. Because of this im of the opinion that basically, any player that CW wants should be brought in 🙂

I think we'll start to see an improvement in results after those dreaded first 8 games are out of the way. Hopefully we don't get dragged into a battle.

Looking at our results though, despite losing all of them, we've been quite good defensively compared to the rest of the league.

Survive this season, kick on next season with fans back 👊🏼
 
Brooks has picked up an injury and returned to Bournemouth from the welsh teams training camp.
Could not make it up, that’s that transfer off
 

We hear conflicting stories
Scenario 1.
He has a girlfriend from Sheffield, gets on wit( wilder v well and would welcome the opportunity to move back to Sheffield and play premiership football and subsequently we have a chance of loan to buy with a £5 million loan fee and we pay 75% of his salary.

Scenario 2
They have no need to sell him and if they were, they would want 50 million.

I have no doubt that we want him and are trying to do a deal but the figures quoted are too rich for us, subsequently cannot see him coming.

N.b. Have not any inside info just putting the various theories together.

No doubt that we do need someone to create though.
 
Brooks will have told Bournemouth he wants to leave, so they'd be holding him against his will.

There's not even a parallel universe in which anyone pays £50m to a relegated team for a player.

We can give Brooks a gentleman's agreement or a contractual clause that says he could go to a top 6 team if they meet his value next summer or whenever.
 
I really think we have a genuine chance at getting him in some capacity this week. Just think it depends whether e.g. Leicester or Everton decide to move for him. Or similarly if someone says they'll move for him in January if he's proved form and fitness.

N.B. Bournemouth had a decent start without him. Plus they have other wingers/attackers including Danjuma finding his form finally.

Loan deal only according to this source....would make the most logical sense!

That does make complete sense to be fair, if true. And those circumstances would surely make us favourites.

Would be brilliant to get him (even) just for one season.

N.B. Maybe then line up Demarai Gray on a free from Leicester next summer (getting way ahead of myself).

Okay not quite £50m but Bournemouth have sold Ake to Man City for £40m.......
