Looks more and more likely that Callum Wilson will off. Hopefully with a couple of teams fighting over him will push the price up. Hopefully deal gets done soon. So we can spend some of it

There's often loopholes in these deals, look at the furore over Michel Vorm's transfer to Spurs; Utrecht ended up getting stiffed on the deal as Swansea claimed Vorm's value as zero. Utrecht ended up taking Swansea to court but ultimately lost.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if he ended up at Villa - which would be our preferable option given they're willing to offer a transfer fee rather fee, without a player swap.

With regards to Newcastle's offer I don't really Matt Ritchie as an attractive bargaining chip in a transfer deal, not for Bournemouth anyway. He's a good player but he earns £45k a week (could be more as he signed a new deal in March) - and given Bournemouth are trying to strip their already colossal wage bill after their relegation I highly doubt they'll want to add to it by bringing in Ritchie, who I'm sure won't want to take a pay cut considering he's got three years (I think) left on his contract at Newcastle.

Also, at some point this year I'm pretty sure Bournemouth still owe around £32m in transfer instalments, which also makes me think Villa's offer would be far better suited to their immediate needs.

Newcastle love a season long loan as well. Im fearful of something like this being pitched.

He was at Bournemouth for a few years, so that may have an impact. As long as we get what we're owed, i.e sell on %, that's the main thing.

IDK .

The higher the fee,the lower the wages I guess.
So the less likely to move?

Tom Leach seems to think he'll start Saturday, and be our cup keeper. Not to sure how I feel about that!!

I'm hoping everything I've seen of him is wrong, and he plays an absolute blinder. I'm not to hopeful though.

I don't care about the cup. Marosi has been injured, do we want to risk him in a League cup game?

He played today, and I don't think they would of risked him in a friendly if he was carrying a knock.

I think Wilson will play in goal against MK. Hope CW goes to Villa for straight £££_rather than player swap malarkey.

Be ironic for a piece of the Callum Wilson fee buys us the player who propels to the Premiership passing Villa on the way.

I can see him going on a swap with low value and us get shafted again.

He’s an England international I can’t see him not moving and I can’t see him not moving for less than £20m or so

I’m surprised he’s stayed as long as he has, you’d surely think at least a promoted side would be in for him.

Not necessarily, depends on the positions of the parties. I know Bournemouth need the money, but it's whether or not Villa or Newcastle need the striker even more so.

'Au contraire Rodney'

If you've not seen it watch the Sunderland Netflix documentary when they sign Will Grigg on deadline day!!

To be fair it depends how many interested clubs there are. If there's only one then Bournemouth don't have much wiggle room, but if there's competition they are in a good position to get a good fee for him.

Lot's more reports this morning on the Wilson move. His entourage say a move is 'imminent'!

Looks like £30M is the price, Villa and Spurs being most heavily linked. Can't see the Newcastle move happening over the others.

Bournemouth want straight cash.

If Spurs, then he could still keep his family 'darn sarf'

If Villa, then back in the good ol' Midlands

The £3m – £4.5m couldn't be coming at a better time for us.

Yes. (We don’t know which).

And it’s of the profit so a £30m fee means £27m profit means £2.7m-£4.05m for us.

Coventry sold Wilson to Bournemouth for around £3million in July 2014 with a sell-on clause, believed to be between 10-15 per cent. The Sky Blues are understood to have already benefited from a six-figure sum after the home-bred player gained promotion to the Premier League as part of a series of add-on payments worked into the deal
