318 - Mark McAdam: The Unforgiving Reality Of Bournemouth's Success
With rumours continuing to surface regarding another potential Bournemouth departure in Illia Zabarnyi, Sky Sports' Mark McAdam joins Sam and Tom at the New Forest Pantry in Ringwood to mull over the latest goings on at Dean Court...
We discuss the prolonged Milos Kerkez deal, the conjecture about Zabs's potential move to PSG, and the concern at having to replace 4 of our 5 back-line - plus we ponder whether Andoni Iraola has the hunger to continually oversee these season-on-season transitions.
Visit the New Forest pantry on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/thenewforestpantry/ or visit their website at https://www.thenewforestpantry.com/ - why not pop in for a coffee and sit in their sun-trap of a courtyard. They're located at: 18-20 High St, Ringwood, BH24 1AF.

315 - The Troubling Reality Of "Being Bournemouth"
After a record-breaking season for Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth, the brutal reality of being a small fish in a big pond is now being laid bare with the departures of some key Cherries' figureheads.
Whilst it is public knowledge that Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez and Kepa will not be at Vitality Stadium next season, rumour has it that Illia Zabarnyi could follow...
It's a bittersweet situation - Bournemouth, as a club, is in its best ever moment, but the startling truth is that this success only serves to become the catalyst for a frustrating reality - the constant drain of top talent.
While it's a testament to the club's excellent management and player development, it also necessitates a constant state of transition - meaning that Bill Foley's "always advance" mantra will be tested to the limit.
Sam and Tom discuss the latest developments and ponder an uncertain but exciting future at AFC Bournemouth.

313 - AFC Bournemouth: Keep, Sell, Loan?
If soundbites are to be believed, AFC Bournemouth could be in for a BIG summer. With Dean Huijsen already gone and Milos Kerkez seemingly next to depart, fans are now starting to ponder what life could be like next season for Andoni Iraola's Cherrries.
With rumours also circling about the future of other stars such as Illia Zabarnyi, Antoine Semenyo and Marcus Tavernier, Sam and Tom get together to have a candid look at the current squad, perhaps facing the difficult reality that some Bournemouth stars may need to depart Dean Court to enhance our squad for next season's campaign.
