No matter how badly your week is going, I can guarantee you're having a better one than Dele Alli

Doesn't he have a couple of good games under new managers or was that just under Mourinho?

It's one of these repeated myths that dele is "lazy". Under poch he regularly ran the most out of the whole team during games he was a key part in the game plan of crazy pressing from the front.

Nobody puts Phil in a corner.


Someone on reddit basically put together a list of Eddie Howe transfers and it's not really that bad considering the impacts they had (if you ignore the 40mil in dead weight that's omitted (Brad Smith, Mousset, Afobe, Gadel, Grabban, Iturbe)

DOMINIC SOLANKE - Bought: £19 million. Sold: Still here.
A widely mocked transfer, it took Solanke a while to get going at Bournemouth. Whilst the transfer fee may still look steep, he has become the focal point of the club’s attack, and currently has 12 goals from 17 matches this season. If Bournemouth go up, I’m confident he’ll prove his worth.

JORDON IBE - Bought: £15 million. Sold: £0
The one total failure on the list. To pin this solely on Howe is unfair however, as Ibe’s repeated struggles off the pitch with depression hampered his attempts to kick on at Dean Court.

NATHAN AKE - Bought: £20 million. Sold: £41 million.
Probably the best player to have worn the shirt, he gave Bournemouth consistent excellence, before being sold for a profit to Manchester City, with Howe doubling his money.

ARNAUT DANJUMA - Bought: £14 million. Sold: £21.3 million
His start was thwarted by injury but was easily one of the best players in the Championship last season. Got in the Team of the Year and was sold for a profit to Villarreal.

TYRONE MINGS - Bought: £8 million. Sold: £25 million.
Never really caught fire at Bournemouth but Howe nearly tripled his money here.

CALLUM WILSON - Bought: £3 million. Sold: £20 million.
A brilliant striker for multiple seasons. Gave Bournemouth fans wonderful memories and departed for a large profit.

JOSH KING - Bought: free. Sold: nominal fee of approx £2/3million.
The club’s top scorer across the 5 seasons we spent in the Prem. Shame Bournemouth couldn’t shift him for more money but clearly a successful signing.

PHILIP BILLING - Bought: £15 million. Sold: Still here.
As with Solanke, an uncertain start, but he is now proving his worth in the Championship. Turned into one of the best attack minded midfielders in the league, and is getting better and better.

AARON RAMSDALE - Bought: £800,000. Sold: £18.5 million
Was named Player of the Year in his last season here, a top goalkeeper, who was sold for a huge profit to Sheffield Utd.

JEFFERSON LERMA - Bought: £25 million. Sold: Still here.
Our club record fee, but he has been one of the team’s most consistent top-performing players in the side for successive years.

MATT RITCHIE - Bought: £400,000. Sold: £11 million.
A wonderful player who played an immense part in Bournemouth’s rise. A handsome profit made.

RYAN FRASER - Bought: £400,000. Sold: free.
A player who Howe picked up and turned into one of the best wingers in the league for a season or two. Could’ve fetched a large sum for him if he hadn’t downed tools and refused to play in the relegation battle.

LEWIS COOK: Bought: £6.5 million. Sold: Still here.
An immensely talented player whose bursts of excellence have been stunted by injury.


He also brought in Danny Ings and Tippier when he was at Burnley

Would Howe even be doing the transfers at Newcastle? I would think they would just be calling up Mendes or Joorabchian and saying that they’ll take whatever they have.

Ben Woodburn, Nat Phillips, and Sheyi Ojo are all set for a Saudi Payrise! Maybe they can fund our belated Wijnaldum replacement in January.

EDIT: Comedy answer is Phillipe Coutinho, considering Barca still owe us enough of the transfer fee remainder that we can probably still legally claim him as ours, the dirty bastards.

I know that you have a terminal case of United Brain and are only capable of judging players from their worst performances, but maybe compare the two players over the last few seasons and not just one spell where the entire Liverpool team poo poo the bed.

Probably, but 5 points and a -21 goal difference after 11 games isn't the best. I guess they figure that there's enough poo poo teams in the league that they have a chance. They're bad, but at this stage only a couple of wins from getting out of the relegation zone, which isn't unimaginable.

Has anyone considered the possibility that he was sacked because they won? The only way Norwich can win a trophy is by getting relegated and winning the Championship again. Can't have a winning manager threaten that!

I’m guessing they didn’t expect the win which is understandable given how they have played this far. Must have been terribly inconvenient for the Board
