    Great news! :clap:

    That's Vokes, Dyche, Trippier, Duff, Mee & Heaton who have all signed since the end of the season (don't think I've missed anyone?) Come on Danny..you know you want to! :D

    How has Ben Mee done since he joined you? He was captain of the youth team at City but never seemed ready to make the step up to first team level. Interested to hear how you think he will cope in the Premiership.

    He's been solid for us... never spectacular but rarely has a bad game. He plays as a left back for us now where I think he was more of a centre back at Man City/Leister.

    We used to play on the same team as kids. He was considerably better than the rest of us and eventually got scouted at school by City. Wasn't a great surprise to anyone as he was a class above all the other kids in the same age bracket. Will be interesting to see how he copes in the Premier League.

    He used to play left wing. However I'm not sure when he got moved to a more defensive position.

    Nice guy too.

    Happy with this, I don't know if he's good enough for the premier league but he's a very brave footballer. Could save us a few goals anyway.

    I like mee he always gives u 100% but for my money he'll get ripped apart in the premiership at fullback. We actually signed him as a centre back but he's hardly played there

    Thanks for the feedback. Must admit never thought he would cut it at the top level but certainly his effort and application could not be faulted.

    Id like to see him played at CB and see how he goes . Like a lot of our players the premiership is gonna be a step too far though in all honesty him included .

    Think Trippier can make the step up? Obviously he was from us also.

    Although hes improved his defensive part of his game i still have question marks about that side of him. going forward though hes been superb and 13 assists from fullback no matter what league your at is very impressive . IF he does well i can see him being the next player going for good money .TBH i think Eddie Howe and Sean Dyche planned to play him further forward but either didn't find anybody good enough to replace him at fullback , or didn't trust what we already had.

    puts some terrific service into the forwards

    100% yes. He will be at a top 8 club next season without a doubt.

    He hasn't looked great, but like you said only 2 games. Hopefully he can prove you wrong. :)

    I honestly think Trippier can make it in the Premier League. If he was in a better team that wasn't on the back foot the majority of the time I think he would shine.
