Playing great for Bournemouth at the moment, 5 goals so far. Got a shout out in MOT too. Always good to see a Cov lad do well, hope he takes off.

What do you reckon he's worth now? Do you think he will stick where he is or do you think someone will snatch him up.

Do you reckon we got a good deal at the time? What would have been a fair price if not?

(Don't turn this into a SISU thread ad we have enough of them.)

Took his goal well. Great turn and good use of his body strength to keep the defender at bay to make the room for the shop with his fast feet. Love to see him get an England call up.

He is doing well, but he must be thinking that the top league is not up to much when he gets to play against the soon to be relegated Blunderland and the pair of jokers Kaboul and Coates milk turns quicker than that pair.

He seems to be a player making the most of his ability and the total opposite of a Kevin Thornton type.

He broke through into the Coventry team at the end of the 2012-13 season, aged 21 and with a matter of months left on his contract.

'It was very close to not working out there,' he says. 'I had played 10 games at the end of that season and was hoping I would move up off the money I was on and provide for my family, because I had a little boy on the way.
'The contract offered was the same as I had, just an extra year, and it was a case of sign it or leave it. I wanted just an extra £50 a week for food and got a straight no.'

When he started the 2013-14 season with nine goals in eight League One games, Coventry offered a better deal. He rejected them. When they came back with even better terms he said no again. 'I turned it down out of stubbornness and spite,' he says. He ultimately signed at his fiance's request at the end of the year and promptly dislocated his shoulder a few weeks later.
'It was a good job I had signed,' he adds.

When I saw him play in those first few games I thought he would be lucky to get another deal, but it shows what a bit of luck, a fair amount of talent but a lot of hunger (quite literally) can do for you.

Stretchered off in a serious looking injury at Stoke according to NBC sport.. :(

Edit ...

Just saw the footage.. ouch... goes in for a tackle and his knee buckles ... they treat him for a bit, then he hobbles on the sidelines and amazingly comes back on and his first run with no one near him, his knee buckles sideways and he goes down again.. ouch.
That looks a bad one.. shit news for the lad.

Martin Keown just said on Final Score that he thinks it is a cruciate ligament injury.

Really silly of the Bournemouth medical team to let him back on the pitch, looks like a lengthy spell out for him now.

Really hope he recovers and can play to his full potential after.

With an ACL It wouldn't make a huge amount of difference. It could damage the PCL and MCL too but wouldn't effect the length of time out on the sidelines. Horrible injury that happens to far too many people. Almost all are never the same afterwards. Some are finished. Snapped my ACL three times & both my PCL and MCL once. Waiting for an op atm and it feels like my knee is made out of rubber.

Some on here will be glad as now he can't go and score goals.
They can then beam we told you he was good enough for the prem.

I was one who thought he would struggle to get 15 goals, but would much rather have been proved wrong than him getting injured.

Ruled out for 6 months, absolutely gutted for him. The determination he's shown during his meteoric rise over the past 2 years has been so refreshing to see in modern football and even more so that he's one of our own. Speedy recovery Callum, Bournemouth will struggle without you.

What a shame for him. If he's out for 6 months they'll be lucky to get him back to match fitness by the end of the season.

Thats a massive hit for Bournmouth and could affect their prem status at the end of the year. Hope get gets back to his best and i dont think anyone on here would have wanted him to get injured, just silly talk again.

On the brink of an England call up and possibly a big money move to a bigger club too, two angles we might have received some extra dosh from his transfer

After watching MOTD, does it look like a tear to you at first with it completely going after he came back on?

Chief Commentator!
Gutted for him! 6 months is a long time to be out of the game. Just as he was hitting form on the big stage. Wouldn't have been surprised if he'd been called up for the England game V Estonia next Friday, which would have been nice if he had and got a run out as I'm going (hoping to see a full international live and not just the second half like the last one I went to!!!).

Ah the old, for my family, nonsense!

he needed £50 for food?

wish I hadn't read that article as he now seems a right plank!

Feel sorry for him on a personal level, of course.

I didn't rate him in that first season but he was brilliant during that full season and I thought, and still think we should have broken the bank to keep him. I never doubted he would make it at a higher level. It should have been for us and became a sky blue legend.

wish him a speedy recovery and a swift return to ccfc when we get promoted next season
