We Need Another Centre Half - Fletcher

Last updated : 10 June 2011 By Bournemouth Co-Ordinator

With uncertainty surrounding Jason Pearce, coupled with the possible departures of others over the Summer, Steve Fletcher has stated that the Cherries need a further centre back.

Speaking in the Bournemouth Evening Echo, Fletcher is quoted as saying: "The prospect of losing players would make it difficult for any managerial team but it is part and parcel of football. It was something we experienced almost as soon as we had taken over in January and it brought to light how challenging the job can be at times. We can’t second guess what is going to happen in the future and can only deal with those situations should they arise. There is a bit of uncertainty but, hopefully, we won’t lose anybody else. As things stand at the moment, the two main areas we are targeting are central defence and central midfield. We have got two fit centre-halves in Jason Pearce and Shaun Cooper. Ryan Garry’s injury situation is still not resolved".
