Cherries: Bradders intent on keeping squad together
CARETAKER Cherries chief Lee Bradbury has echoed chairman Eddie Mitchell's sentiments by stating his desire to keep hold of the club's star players.[LNB] Bradbury is likely to be in charge throughout the January transfer window after being appointed for an initial three or four games by Mitchell.[LNB] A number of Cherries' leading names have been linked with moves away from Dean Court this month, with Scunthorpe unsuccessful with bids of £100,000 and £50,000 for Jason Pearce and Marvin Bartley, respectively.[LNB] Daily Echo sources suggest Bartley could be a target for Crystal Palace, while Shwan Jalal and Liam Feeney, both of whom produced eye-catching performances at Rochdale on Tuesday, are also believed to be in demand.[LNB] But speaking to the Echo last night, Mitchell confirmed no further bids had come in for Cherries' players.[LNB] And Bradbury told the Echo: I want to keep everyone together.[LNB] We've got where we have because the boys in the dressing room have got a great togetherness and something a bit special.[LNB] I don't say that lightly. In 15 years in the game, I've not been in a club that has got a team as together as ours.[LNB] Mitchell also said he would look at the prospect of helping Bradbury in the transfer market, should he identify a potential new recruit.[LNB] When asked if he would be looking to bring in new faces or if he was happy with his playing resources, Bradbury added: I'm happy with what I've got.[LNB] If I can just keep the lads together, I'm more than happy to give it a go with them. I've got 100 per cent belief in them.[LNB]
