Speaking to the Bournemouth Evening Echo, Fletcher is quoted as saying: "He's played a lot of his early career in the non-league and this is a good step up for him. Hopefully I can help him with his game. Eddie (Howe, manager) asked if I could help him when I came in, but it was tough because we had two games a week and we hardly had chance to breath! Hopefully, in pre-season we'll start on an even keel. I'd definitely like to help Jeff in any way I can".
For his part, Goulding is quoted as saying: "I relaxed in May and went away, but in June I've done a lot of gym work. I feel really good and have been working hard on every aspect to make myself that bit better. You're never really sure where you're at compared to everyone else during pre-season. But we've got some big Premier League clubs to play and hopefully they will bring good players down. I'm sure by the end of pre-season we'll know where we are".
