Eddie Howe on transfers:

“Speed is key for us & I have reiterated that many times internally. Speed is key because we have to be dynamic, we have to be ready to conclude things very quickly because good players don’t hang around for long.

That’s always been my thought & my message on recruitment,

because you can have a period when you think you have time – but then you look around quickly & you see that time has elapsed & you missed opportunities you won’t get again.

That’s what we will be trying, but the reality of that is it’s not always in your hands – but we will do our best to do things early. The power of the Champions League is huge. It’s a selling point for us now, it’s an opportunity to sell that dream to future players that might be considering coming to us”
