I think that's right

At least, when I watched a half of their game against Peterboro last week, that was where he played.

He really didnt look like anything special. I know that Bournemouth are struggling a bit at the moment, even though they are comfortably second, so it's not like he's joined a team that's smashing other teams. But there was so much time and space vs Posh that he simply wouldnt get in the Prem, and he still wasnt really able to influence the game in any meaningful way.

For a player who, as far as its possible to tell, thinks he should be getting a massive transfer and massive wages, starting regularly for a top Prem team, there seems to be a chasm between his expectations and the reality on the pitch.

It's such a shame for him, and of course for us. I'd be amazed if Bournemouth paid 11m for him in the summer, based on what I've seen. He looks more like someone you spend a few million on as a long shot gamble, more in hope than expectation.
