Kieffer Moore’s Future:

Tue Jun 04, 2024 6:07 pm

It would appear Bournemouth are up for a deal on Moore.

Cardiff offered to pay the Cherries £26k per week last January, but the Welsh international went on loan to Ipswich who covered all the striker's £40k per week wage.

However, Ipswich would seem to be available again now and it is thought Bluebirds head coach Erol Bulut sees Keifer Moore as his first pick at number nine.






ANDONI Iraola says the ball is in Kieffer Moore's court when it comes to his future at Cherries

Moore spent the second half of last season on loan at Ipswich Town, playing a crucial role in the Tractor Boys achieving promotion back to the Premier League for the first time in over 20 years.

The Wales striker scored seven goals in 18 games for the Suffolk side, having netted twice in 13 appearances for Cherries earlier in the season, although most of his minutes came off the bench.

Moore joined Cherries from Cardiff City in January 2022 for around £4.5million including a £million bonus, Cardiff received and scored the goal which clinched promotion from the Championship.


He has one year remaining on his contract at Vitality Stadium.

Iraola unsure how different team will look for first game of next season
Asked if the 31-year-old will be back at Cherries for pre-season, head coach Iraola said: “All the players we have on loan, they will return at the beginning of July.

“Then in these situations, for me, I always say it, first we have to listen what they want to do.

“If they say ‘I prefer to leave, because here I am not going to have the minutes I want’, then we have to discuss with the clubs, so the money works and everyone is happy.

“They might tell me ‘I want to stay here and fight for the minutes’.

“They are our players. They’ve played some minutes this season with us and I value them.”

Quizzed further on if he sees Moore as having a future at Cherries, Iraola added: “Yes, he could, of course.

“I am very happy. I am sure he has showed he can score goals, but if he would like to move on we would not stand in his way.”

“He is a very good number nine.

“But it is very difficult, even for Enes (Unal).

“Enes is doing very well, and it is difficult for me to give him more minutes, because right now, we have Dom Solanke.

“Dom is playing so well that he is not giving a lot of chances to the other number nines.”

I personally don't want him back here.

I think he would be a great addition to the attack. He's able to hold up the ball and great in the air where we dont have many options. A target man who will score goals

Ipswich don’t want him back and I don’t blame them. Not good enough for the Premier League.

BUT he is excellent at Championship level. Would sign him in a heartbeat.

Bulut is a big fan of him and was gutted when it didn’t happen in January.

Not for me I'm afraid! He's had a few chances to come back, we should look for someone younger

I am not bothered who we get as a striker as long as he can hit the back of the net
Not bothered about he did this
he did that
na na nana.
We could stick with etete or farmer dido and if he gies elsewhere not bothered either
Plus we need 2 good strikers cannot exspect 1 to do it all .

And so it begins

Just hope we don't put all our eggs in the Kieffer Moore basket and miss out on other potential strikers.

Moore and his agent will probably hold out for as long as they can to see if any better offers or bigger teams come in for him and he'll end up going somewhere else at the end of the transfer window.

Still, if he does come here at least he's got a house ready to move in to ;)

I'm a big fan of kieffer, if the price is right and it works for our club go for it.

He proved on loan how good he is in this league and if we want to take the next step and get promoted he's a must signing

Bite their arm off for him. Proven at this level, chance to leave the club on more positive terms.

Hopefully Tan has placed some age stipulations on Erol, it's an aging team with only WIntle, NG Turnbull in that 24~28 sweet spot where they are peaking,but still have one big transfer in them. (not counting Adam or Rinomhota)

undoubtedly Kieffer is a top championship striker but you are paying to watch him slowly degrade. We signed him as a 27 year old, that is where we should be looking for a target man, that's when they start to come into their own.

Hopefully we don't sign him

What budget do we have for a striker Rember gary madine was 5 million and never scored a goal so what should we spend to secure the most sought after position in a team
look where we have been because we have not spent big for the last 5 seasons

I like him personally but would trust Bulut's judgment whichever way he goes, he knows our team now and who he has in mind. He will be making comparisons with players in the Greek and Turkish Leagues, and maybe he can find someone better for the money there?

Re: Kieffer Moore’s Future:

Personally I think he will have a deal with Ipswich or someone as they used him well last season. And if they get a cheap deal and he returns 15 goals/assists combined be a good return. If not I would definitely take him on same grounds as Ipswich last season. He can do a job

A CF is desperately needed and this should not drag on until the last day of the window and we end up with players no one wants
Set a deadline of July 31st and if it does not happen move on

Re: Kieffer Moore’s Future:

Whether I like him as an individual or am unhappy about what I perceive to be his poor attitude before transferring to Bournemouth is immaterial,I think he would certainly be a positive acquisition for us, especially the way Bulut seems to set us up, we’ve been desperately lacking someone capable of holding the ball up and allowing others to support him, Moore fits the bill perfectly for me in that role.
