Wilson to sign for Bournemouth, loan players in exchange (1 Viewer)

[CCFC_Charlie]

Callum Wilson is set to sign for Bournemouth today with Coventry City getting two players on loan as part of the deal believed to be worth more than £3million.The Telegraph understands that the Sky Blues star striker has agreed terms with the Championship club who will lend out highly-rated goalkeeper Ryan Allsop and winger Mohamed Coulibaly on season-long loans as part of a loaded deal that will see City get £2.25m up front.
Wilson was given permission to speak to Bournemouth and Norwich yesterday after City received bids that would amount to upwards of £3m.
And it appears that the 22-goal Cov Kid has opted to join the Cherries who are expected to confirm the signing today.
Allsop is a 22-year-old keeper with lots of potential and who was Bournemouth’s No.1 at the end of the club’s promotion 2012/13 promotion campaign.
He started out as a trainee at West Brom and has had spells at Millwall and Leyton Orient, playing more than 20 games for the O’s. He’s played 25 times for the Cherries and is seen as the perfect candidate to come in and compete with Lee Burge for the top spot at City following Joe Murphy’s move to Huddersfield.
Swiss-born Coulibaly joined Eddie Howe’s side from Grasshoppers Zurich last summer and can play either on the right or the left.
Although the 25-year-old’s appearances have been limited to two starts and six substitute appearances due to injury and the exceptional form of others, he is a player who gets supporters off their seats.

Decent deal

I guess it is a decent deal. That stated, we keep on saying that when our leading score leaves; from Jutkiewitz to Clarke and now Wilson, and wonder why we are in terminal decline?!?

 

[gouldberg]

Said it before, I'll say it again. The way Callum has handled himself throughout this has been impeccable. Wish him all the best.

Fee much better than I was expecting. Not above his valuation, but certainly above what I thought it would take for us to accept. I don't think loan players are ever a solid answer to a problem because they can have a semi-decent season then sod off, but with squad numbers where they are at the moment, anything that pushes that up is a relief.

 

[kg82]

It is a decent deal but we now have no recognised senior striker. I know there's a while till the season starts but the amount of goals we've lost from last season is a huge blow. Strikers and defenders now, that's what we need.

 

[torchomatic]

Seems a fair deal for a single good season. Good luck to him, hope he realises his potential.

 

[Kingokings204]

Sounds a good deal with 2.25m upfront. We need 1 mil of that back into the team on another 10 signings IMO. Sisu can have 1.25 for the good job they have done.

We need a keeper with more experience really but beggars can't be choosers at the moment. Winger sounds decent also and that's 3 in 2 days. Must be a sisu record.

The fact now is we don't have a striker in the building. This scares me on the 4th July already. We need 4-5 strikers IMO.

I will give them one thing. At least we have got a really good deal and it's happened very quickly which gives us more time to recruit.

I am feeling more optimistic now bar the strikers situation. I think if we could agree a interim rent deal the buzz would be amazing. Robo would agree I know.

 

[Kingokings204]

P.s Bradford must be pissed off with nacki wells 1.5 mil now lol we got double for a striker from 1 season. Hahahaha good deal sisu.

Good luck CW btw. He is a class player an will get better. Premiership player in waiting IMO. Only had 1 season remember.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Coulibaly can play upfront apparently, sounds decent. As does Allsop.

 

[Kingokings204]

2.25 mil up front.

Now back to the Ricoh and sign 4 strikers and I'm happy again.

 

[Nick]

Good deal to be fair for us!

 

[ccfcmustang]

I thought Pressley didnt like loan signings?

 

[Kingokings204]

Very good Nick and thanks for closing other thread.

 

[Kingokings204]

Beggars can't be picky mustang. Bodies in the building is needed currently. They sound decent at least.

 

[hill83]

Assuming the money does go towards buying players, the price of people we are looking at will now go up slightly as other clubs now know we have a bit of spending power.

And again, assuming the money does go towards buying players, you really can't argue with the price we have got. Not ideal, but that's the way football goes.

If you're pissed off about it, just think of them as one year contracts

 

[glamour76]

Absolutely crazy money for a player nearly released last year. Even if SP is getting 500k think he could get some decent players in. I'm sure we'd get leon back for 500k

Coventry City... Spending power

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

With the other two signings this looks good, so a total of 4 in so far. I expect a couple more to leave but a great deal for Cov

 

[fernandopartridge]

Sensible business. Over £2m up front is probably better than your average deal.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Goes back a lot further than that tbf

[BackRoomRummermill]

As long as the outcome is positive I see no reason why not to cash in to get more players in. Wilson by leaving ( getting 2million plus players) could actually be helping us more than if he stayed by getting in some good players for LG1

Its never about just one man its about a team

And good luck Wilson all the best to you fella , I am sure you will be welcomed if you play us again

Hah, yeah - maybe we won't hear those hilarious jokes for a bit as well about players coming here getting a pot noodle and a packet of crisps? Those really crack me up

 

[shmmeee]

£2m to Pressley please

£1m on 3 strikers

£500k on a defender

£500k on a CM

Couple of frees to fill out the squad.

Automatic promotion here we come.

Thanks.

Even half those prices would get very good players and a return to the Ricoh. People would be back I have no doubt. I would be one of them.

Lots of signings, a return to the Ricoh and a new buzz with no points deductions. Wow dreams .

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Okay Gent let's hear it...

Yeah, it would almost be like supporting a normal club!

 

[MusicDating]

Same price as the 'mini-Messi'...(minus the buy-out clause...)

Now we just need to find another McGoldrick/Clarke-esque striker who needs to prove himself..

I would prefer them to use that money to somehow bring us playing back in Coventry.

Please don't say it again. It'll get boring after a while.

Does it?

2013/14 - Clarke sold in January, Wilson sold in the summer
2012/13 - McGoldrick loan not renewed in January
2011/12 - Jutkiewicz sold in January (still top scorer by May) (relegated)
2010/11 - King released (against our wishes)
2009/10 - Leon Best sold in January, Morrison released.
2008/09 - Morrison, not sold
2007/08 - Mifsud, not sold
2006/07 - Adebola, not sold
2005/06 - McSheffrey, sold
2004/05 - McSheffrey, not sold
2003/04 - McSheffrey, not sold
2002/03 - Bothroyd, released
2001/02 - Hughes, sold
2000/01 - Bellamy, sold (relegated)
1999/00 - Keane, sold

1993/94 - Ndlovu, not sold

Apart from the glut of sales around relegation, we seemed to always keep hold of our top scorers. Since Coleman left that seems to have changed.

One thing's for sure, the periods where we've sold our leading scorer season after season are the periods where we've been relegated.
