No more sorry
campaigns for Eddie Howe and his AFC Bournemouth, this time he is looking
forward to a stellar and prime time in this upcoming edition of the English
Premier League.
I do remember when
the Cherries had their first run on Premiership and barely squeezing by, on a not
so glamorous sixteenth place finish.
That was enough for
the AFC to return to see the lights of the big circuit for another edition.
In addition, the
2106-17 versions, despite their struggles, there was a notable finish and improvement
seen in the overall table.
This time manager
Eddie Howe is looking forward to seize a spot in the always-coveted European
spots or finish among the top four as well seek a trophy or two in the FA and
EFL Cups competitions.
Considered as a giant
killer in that campaign when the Cherries defeated in back to back fashion the
likes of Chelsea and Manchester United, this club is not intimidated or steeped
over that easily.
For Manager Howe
making this squad top brass surrendered good amounts of monies in order to be a
competitor in this edition, his outlook is cautious in order to brave in what
is going to be another heavily contested campaign.
The arrival of new
faces to Dean Court is making many of its followers to think of an extraordinary
campaign, were many here in Dorset have bet that their Boys will overcome their
last campaign ninth place finish to a higher one.
So far in the preseason
of the AFC the news are relevant of many high-class players in Asmir Begovic- Chelsea,
Connor Mahoney- Blackburn Rovers, Nathan Ake- Chelsea and Jermaine Defoe-
Sunderland.
With Defoe coming as
a free agent and no cost to the Cherries, these will have one of the most
complete players in the Premier League after being the Talisman of relegated Sunderland
and its player to be looking for his club salvation.
For that, Bournemouth
has won the Defoe sweepstakes and seen as an all-around coup.
In addition, the
arrival of Connor Mahon considered a prospect in the wings alongside with
Nathan Ake in defense and Asmir Begovic defending the AFC posts, with these new
faces this squad has all the likings of a contender.
A serious one and
that can stir all sorts of troubles to the so-called giants of Premiership and
make a ruin to the top, you never know, we can have ourselves another fairy tale,
the same one Leicester City experienced.
Preparing to a preseason
against GA Estoril Praia, Queens Park Rangers, La Liga Valencia FC, Yeovil Town
and Napoli, the Cherries hope to be a good tune up and prepares them in full
ahead of their Premiership opener.
As August 12, they
open on the road at the Hawthorns to face a resilient and fighting West Brom
Albion and later return to Dean Court or known as Vitality Stadium.
With back-to-back
matches Watford FC as their home opener and later a test of fire against Pep
Guardiola Manchester City, these latter one is consider a hell of a game and
foe for the Cherries.
As all eyes are on
Eddie Howe considered as the next Boss of the English National Team and
considered in many circles as a future top class manager, his next check will
come on this Premiership campaign.
