Kowalski Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Cherries on trail of Steve Lovell Bournemouth lead race By Andrew Moir Published: 04/06/2008 BOURNEMOUTH could be the next destination in Aberdeen striker’s Steve Lovell’s career. The Dons’ contract expires this summer when he will part company with the Reds. And Cherries boss Kevin Bond is keen on sealing a reunion with Lovell. However, Bond’s hands are tied as the club battles its way out of administration. But chairman Jeff Mostyn’s takeover bid should be finalised within a month which would allow the club to re-enter the transfer market. Lovell’s half-brother, Eddie Howe, is a Bournemouth legend. He was forced to retire from playing last summer but is now the reserve team coach and the pair could be reunited at Dean Court. Bond made it clear last summer that Lovell is a player he rates highly. “Steve Lovell is someone I admire,†he said. “I worked with him at Portsmouth and I believe he would improve us.†Bournemouth have already raised £250,000 following the sale of striker Sam Vokes to Wolves to help improve their financial situation. They have been in administration since early February and were hit with a 10-point penalty for their poor financial state. That ultimately hampered their chances of staying up and they were relegated to League Two, although they did make a real fight for survival. Meanwhile, Lovell’s place in the Aberdeen squad is likely to be taken by Richie Foran. Jimmy Calderwood is keen to take the Irishman north again. Foran has struggled to make an impact at Southend since his switch south from Motherwell last year. The 27-year-old has been on loan at Darlington but is available for a £50,000 fee. He is expected to visit Pittodrie for a stringent medical following recent knee surgery. If he does sign for the Dons he would join Gary McDonald, Bertrand Bossu and Sammy Stewart as Calderwood’s other summer new recruits. Barry Nicholson’s Dons departure is gathering pace after Norwich City confirmed they are interested in the midfielder. Former Aberdeen keeper Bryan Gunn is now head of player recruitment at Carrow Road and has received positive reports about the Scotland cap. Preston North End and Nottingham Forest are also interested in Nicholson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetchuck Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Fucking Richie Foran. Jesus Christ. As for Lovell, is he not from that neck of the woods originally anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggy89 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Lovell will score a shitload in League Two. He'll need too, think it's likely that Bournemouth will start next season -15 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie's ace! Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Lovell's from Amersham (Bucks) I think. Bournemouth's awfy far away from Bishopbriggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Lovell's from Amersham (Bucks) I think. Bournemouth's awfy far away from Bishopbriggs. So's Amersham. The most worrying thing about the article is Richie Foran taking Lovell's place. That is just wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jute Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 So's Amersham. The most worrying thing about the article is Richie Foran taking Lovell's place. That is just wrong. Replacing one player who hardly played due to injury with another who's record is even worse does not make much sense. Foran hardly a prolific scorer either.

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 What a shame. I heard today Lovell declined the offer of new terms when he heard a troublesome stalker with unrealistic aspirations was coming to the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 So the rumours about him beating up women are true! Only in self defence. I thought he had some sort of restraining order keeping him away fae Dundee, or at least a bird in Dundee. I have a compulsion that is vaguely similar.
