Don’t know where they stand now but I read an article about 6 years ago, the first time Bournemouth were in the Premiership and they were the 14th richest club in the world.

Phil,

please do you have a link to that old article?

Tolaj could well be sold .

The lads a very good footballer .

Maybe someones offered Vale a deal they could not turn noses up at .

I personally hope not or maybe  just maybe Vale keeping him sharp and fresh for when the real.games start as yes we all love it when we are winning the friendly games with goals galore.., but ultimately they count for nothing .

L Tolaj and Garrity are the heartbeat of the Vale yet one hasnt played at all yet snd the other not often in the friendly matches but like i say when they do play in league 1 and are match fit Vale be much better for it for sure  

Think the last pre season game i went other than NTown last season was a game v Hibernian funny enough st NT years ago they  mean not a thing so not taking too much notice of Tolaj not playing .

D Moore will know when to play him like he will with all his squad .

We will lose games for sure in this league, what we need to be building is consistently good performance levels, from all the squad if so no reason why we cannot flourish with what we have at the moment .

Ive no doubt  be some in, and some out, before 2nd Aug.

On X and blasting a particular player (ojo) is not really called for especially when if he remains and he is called upon he will need to be at a level thats acceptable.

Openly dissing players is not going get him.produce what he needs to produce on a format where most can see the not liking of the player .

Sorry mate this gave me a headache reading this, so essentially, you think Tolaj might be sold?

Tolaj is getting sold and we all know it. Desperate up top. No reinforcements

Garrity always injured need get rid aswell.

1. Stockley

2. Tolaj

3. Paton

4. Waine

5. Curtis

6. Plant

7. Shipley

8. Rico 

9. Garrity

6-9 more in the attacking midfield positions admittedly but all players who can play either wide or in support of the main striker (could be any of 1-5). 

We are nowhere near desperate. I think we'd all like a marquee striker at #9 but they don't come cheap and we may have to settle with a youth loan due to cost, squad management and registration requirements.

Nonsense. He is our club captain. Have a word. 

Success brings more consistency in results, but means that our  players become more in demand by other clubs. Enjoy while we can, get used to dealing at a higher level, like we did in the 90s. Knowing when to sell having developed players is key, as is trust in the system. Thursday should be interesting.

Are you saying he was mis-managed at Vale ?

I get he was in a terrible side but other than 20 minutes at Reading before the abandonment he was as a weak as p**s, another in a list of truly appalling loan signings like Gore and Lopata etc etc. 

Didn't stop Brighton loaning us BBB. 

No he wasn’t mismanaged he was just <ovf censored>.

As a loan manager your looking for your player to be sent into a good environment and be put in tot the best position to improve and perform. DF sold him a pup.

The club was pretty toxic at the time.

So truly sorry Alan, I can’t find an article I read roughly 6 years ago but I’ve managed to find an article that puts them as the 28th richest club in the world roughly the same period  

 

Premier League clubs so wealthy 14 are among 30 richest in world - with Bournemouth earning more than Benfica - The Mirror

Talking of needing a striker I cant see Jack Marriott or Modou Faal getting many games at Wrexham this coming season considering they have 7 strikers( plus 2 young strikers) and they say they want a couple more in this window

Faal looked a handful in the JPT game

Jack Marriott been playing for them I. Australia but got struck down with appendicitis, so, is stuck in Oz for a few weeks.

What about Ollie Palmer?

Bet he would be good, what are the odds.

Forgot about him tbh but wasn't he getting done for something? or did I dream that

Faal imo is a decent prospect who I think would be available on loan,he was rated when at WBA at a young age,he has pace and some height at 6'5 to cause a few problems

Just seen what Alfie put,so it was betting for Palmer
