It’s been a discussion point over the weekend; should Eddie Howe come in, will some players who wanted away have a rethink about their future?
In the case of Odsonne Edouard, our sources have told us no. The striker wants to play in one of Europe’s top five leagues and there will be no change of heart regardless of the manager.
Edouard changed his agent this year with the Frenchman deciding to use the same place who helped Kieran Tierney win his move to Arsenal.
Many thought Edouard would have been gone last summer but Celtic held onto him.
They now have less bargaining power because the Frenchman is in the final year of his deal.
Football Insider also report there’s a whole host of English clubs still looking at the frontman while backing up our stance Eddie wants to leave the club.
There could be some players who stay at the club because of the new man in charge, however, in this instance, it’s just not the case.
If Eddie wants to leave. I would rather have someone of the field playing their heart out for our club than someone who to be honest hasn’t been firing on all cylinders for months. His heart isn’t in it. You only have to look at his demeanour to see that. Thanks for what you have given our club up until now but go if you feel it’s best for you. Frankly I won’t be crying over your departure.
