winchester_royal £1.1m release clause. If indeed we do decide to match that'll presumably mean the takeover is just about sorted.
Liked the look of him so far this season though. Tall, pacey, with an eye for goal - I'd be happy.

Norfolk Royal Imagine how much Brighton will hate us if this happens. Quite a lot I should think.

I need to be careful what I say now, as I had egg on my face yesterday, but I'm prepared to take the abuse as I'm only passing on what I've been told by someone who I trust completely.
As of 7pm last night everything was agreed an in place, medical passed and personal terms agreed, when my source left the Amex it was just a case of press release, photoshoot and the obligatory interviews to be concluded...... But, then I'm lead to believe Grabban was made aware of interest in his services elsewhere by his agent and a decision was made to go away and 'sleep on things' This morning the players agent has been pushing for a longer contract than the initial 2 year deal that BHAFC had put on the table and had been agreed, I'm led to believe 2 other Championship clubs have now expressed an interest both of which have had a fee accepted by Bournemouth and permission to speak with Grabban.
Everything I have been told suggests Grabban was keen to get the deal signed and confirm the contract with BHAFC but his agent decided to up the ante in terms of contract length with the apparent offers coming in from other clubs.
Finally, I must add the last bit of interesting information I was given... Apparently Grabbans agent has sincerely pissed off our chairman with his demand of an extended contract despite initially agreeing a 2 year deal, to the extent where his demands may just have jepodised the entire transfer.
As always, don't shoot the messenger just passing on what I've been told in good faith.

TheBaldOne At £1.1 million do we really need another striker, priority should be in midfield and defence.
