    Doubt the majority of starters are even on it.
    Well I guess that's a project for you. I think you need to take into equation the fact that there would clearly be a reduction in wages of at least 20-25%, purely due to the fact that he would be dropping down a division. the 30k a week figure that I used (and that everyone has got a raging cob on about) is his salary in the PL. Clearly, it would depend on whether he was prepared to drop down a division and compete for a place, or sit on the bench at Bournemouth content in the knowledge that we will never get in ahead of Begovic.

      In all seriousness though - gobsmacked that some fans still seem to think we're in a position to spend that sort of money. Especially on a backup gk.
      Mental ain't it?

        There's no need to even discuss this issue. Gone are the days when we paid that sort of money...and for what? For a reserve goalkeeper? That's a department where we are most strong at. If there is any money to spend, may be it is another striker to compete with Sylla and CW.

          The only point I was making was that there is clearly a big drop in quality between Smithies and Ingram / Lumley at this precise point in time, which is a concern for me were Smithies to sustain a long term injury. As a result, someone LIKE Boruc (it need not necessarily be him, just someone with more playing experience than a couple of 23 year olds with 5 QPR appearances between them) to come in and provide back up for Smithies whilst the other two get up to speed seems like a sensible option to me - the upshot of that is that you will have to pay a little more in wages for a year or so. That's all.

          I've also already acknowledged that an attacking central midfielder is the top priority (we still haven't replaced Chery's play-making ability IMO), and that the goalkeeping situation is a secondary concern at best.

              Agreed, the last half a season he was with us he was very poor.

              How many in this squad could naturally step into the role of a central attacking playmaker or No.10 role? At present, we seem to have a number of midfielders who all do pretty much the same job.
