Please don't shoot the messenger. I have just been told that we have accepted £150,000 from Swindon Town for Connell. That there are also extras attached depending on appearances, as well as a sell on clause if Swindon sell him for a profit.

Also that we are getting a striker in return but haven't been told the name of the Swindon striker.

Connell wanted league football closer to his home in Bournemouth.

I am gutted. Bloody gutted. One step forward and three steps back.


Well said that man, roll on Aug 13th

This is one case where the money is worth more than the player.

There was no guarantee that Connell would be the same player this season and by any standards £100-£150k is good money for a 28 year old with one year to go on a contract.

Good business, good luck to the player, good for the managers that it happened now.

The club is more important than any player.

I'd go with this post as it just about sums it up for me.  Good luck Al and thanks for some quality goals, my Swindon supporting mate will be chuffed.

Does Connell realise that he was their fourth or fifth choice target after they missed out on their preferred strikers?
