Boruc Signs For Bournemouth
Artur Boruc has wasted no time putting pen to paper after being released by Saints joining Bournemouth on a free transfer.
Good luck to Artur Boruc who has signed for AFC Bournemouth on a one year deal after being released by Saints at the end of his contract. Boruc left Saints to join the Cherries on loan just after the start of this season and played a key part in their promotion run.
Bournemouth are signing a quality keeper, in 2013/14 I didnt see many better than Boruc in the Premier league and he was crucial to our success in finishing 8th that season, Im sure he would have been just as good for Saints this season if we had not signed Fraser Forster, but having spent big on Forster it was clear that he was going to start at number one and Boruc would have to play second fiddle.
Many keeper might well have sat back and accepted that and took the money, not Artur, approaching 35 he wanted to play so asked to go out on loan.
Bournemouth have wasted no time in securing him on a permanent deal and he is their first signing of the summer.
He has signed for an initial year with the option for a further season after that, a deal that probably suits both parties with it being a big risk that the Cherries, like many promoted teams will find it a tough season and relegation very likely.
