Apparently we are interested in signing him on a free? Would be decent imo

Certainly a combative midfielder who is no stranger to cards.Over this season and the previous two seasons he has collected 30 yellows and 2 reds.Opponents have tried to antagonise him and he has reacted.

I cannot recall the precise details but he was banned for a few games and received a sizeable fine for biting a player in this country a few years ago.

Eddie Howe played him in a deeper role, but when Jason Tindall was manager at Bournemouth he moved him into a more advanced position.

Agree.

I would not be getting a J.Lerma tattoo or even his name on the back of a shirt however I'd fully endorse his signing for the reasons you've stated Robbo.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

One thing in our favour is that the other teams tracking him aren't great. I don't see him going to Leeds, Leicester or Everton. West Ham are l crap but he could well go there. My only logic really is that he will want to stay southern and go to someone with a bit of ambition. The way we've been playing recently could attract players and we're higher up the table than most looking for Lerma. He's a decent player. Not brilliant but better than most of what we've got.

Red and Blue Army!

Can you imagine Lerma and Milivojevic in the same midfield? There'd be yellow cards every 10 minutes.

Nah, cant take a short jab.
