Bournemouh boss Eddie Howe has warned West Ham again that they have no chance of taking nidfield target Harry Arter to the London Stadium.
Arter has been tracked for weeks by the Hammers and they have had a reported bid turned down by the Cherries who have since issued a new hands-off warning.
Howe said: “In my mind, he is so important to us. When he is playing well he is here, there and everywhere on the pitch. He has an impact on all moments.
“I’d like to think Harry is back to his best now.
“When he plays well, the team tends to play well. He is a driving force and almost the heartbeat of the team in the middle of the pitch.
“He is going to be a key player between now and the end of the season.”
£5m is an insult & like Arter but isn’t really what really a step up think Cullen could be just as good of squad player. And they would want £15-£20m to sell & isn’t worth it wish he would get over this PL experience we just need the right fit of players we need some technique & passing ability in mid. Some creativity or a DM who can pass like Carvalho which won’t happen but who wants aging PL pkayers that they don’t even want to sell to table rivals.
When young hungry players for less all over Europe itching to prve themselves in PL from Championship Jupiler Bundesliga Eredivisie etc
Wanted Maximilian Arnold last summer from Wolfsburg & still think be a class signing good size good passer & scores. Hakim Ziech huge creator & these types of players would make Lanzini better. Seen he thrives w more creative types like Payet & now Arnie.
Listening today about Lanzini isn’t good enough for Liverpool & might be true is main issue is consistency but put him around players like Lallana Salah & I think he would do better. He light not start there every game but think having those types of players around Make him better
Be mad to sell him.
Just like when he got 3 assists playing as AM not on left wing behind Arnie who they link up well.
But looks like this window be usual low ball offers & loan deals.
Which fine w loan deals if right ones esp w option to buy. Grujic from Liverpool 6’2 CDM 92% pass rate last PL game he played be a good loan & agent wants him to stay in PL.
But can offer a loan for bloody Agiero or Nzonzi ffs.
We should have £45m not £25m should have that £20m we supposedly had for Carvalho but they should maybe to like Chelsea & say don’t buy players over 28 unless exception short term deal etc. Look towards future too.
£45m can actually still get you 2-4 good players.
Best buy of summer for me was Pascal gross who has 4 goals 5 assists more then half there goals he has been in for £2.7m ffs was top creator in Bundesliga imagine him & Lanzini & Arnie.
Hit the ground running from Bundesliga so did Zanka at Huddersfield & many others players from PL are risk too
Good if true, at best he would be a stopgap, put a massive bid in for Wilshere.
