Sell Semenyo and buy Mateta? Fans on transfers
As the transfer window is now open again until 1 September, we asked you to tell us one player you want Bournemouth to sign, and a player you want to be sold this summer.Here are some of your comments:Chris: Sell Semenyo. The team had a great season and he stood out as a player who can carry the ball and beat a man - when we were controlling games and having lots of the ball. But with star names from the defence leaving the club, I'm not convinced he will have the opportunities to do the same next season, so cashing in while his value is high might be good business given the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool are apparently showing interest. Buy - I would look to bring in a strong performer from the Championship. Josh Murphy had a great season at Portsmouth, as did Tom Fellows from West Brom.Ross: I don't think the club have any players they need to sell but they could make some permanent deals for the players who went on loan last season (not Philip Billing - bring him back). As for buys - a permanent goalkeeper would be good, as would a lot of defensive players to give players a rest throughout the season so there aren't a lot of injuries throughout or at the end of the campaign.Lewis: There are too many in the midfield who clearly aren't good enough for a top-half team. Alex Scott is a poor man's Ryan Christie and Tyler Adams is a liability. That is where the buy and sell needs to happen!Geoff: Sell Mark Travers and replace with Kepa Arrizabalaga.Merlin: It would be interesting to see whether we make an offer for Jean-Philippe Mateta and Marc Guehi at Crystal Palace. They are both very talented players and we need more depth in that centre-back position with no more Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi looking likely to leave.

‘I felt it was unjust' – Wrexham legend Paul Mullin accepts his fate and ‘doesn't know' why manager no longer trusts him
PAUL MULLIN has accepted his fate at Wrexham despite not knowing why Phil Parkinson has lost trust in him. The striker became a hero at the club following his arrival from Cambridge United in 2021. 3 Mullin, 30, provided many of the goals that helped catapult the club from the National League to League One in back-to-back promotions. However, last season he struggled for gametime as the Welsh outfit made it a historic three promotions in a row. Manager Parkinson favoured the likes of Steven Fletcher, Sam Smith, Jay Rodriguez and Ollie Palmer over Mullin last term. This saw the striker's gametime severely limited as he only made 26 appearances, scoring three goals. Mullin has now admitted that his journey with the club could be over. The striker made the revelation during a recent episode of the Welcome to Wrexham documentary. Mullin suggested that he would want to play just once in England's second division to complete his time at the club, but does think he no longer has a role. He said: "Just to play one game in the Championship with Wrexham would be worth absolutely everything.

"I've enjoyed every minute here, and if we could get to the Championship, then that'd be phenomenal.

Mullin has also been left feeling resentful of Parkinson as he feels his absence from the squad has been "unjust". The run out of the team came after his return from a back injury and surgery from last summer. He added: "I let that get to me, to be honest, from where I've been to then only being allowed to play four games and finding myself being left out of the team. "I resented it and I carried that for weeks because I felt it was unjust. "I think I'm more annoyed now. It's the annoyance of training every single day, doing everything I can, and looking back on everything I've done. "I feel like I was a main part of why we got into this situation, and then I'm not being allowed the platform to get back there, or the opportunity to go and do it again. "It's difficult. I don't know what's caused him [Parkinson] to trust me less, but he clearly does." Mullin has scored 105 goals for Wrexham in just 165 appearances since his arrival. He will be further down the pecking order at the club following the recent arrival of Ryan Hardie. The forward was signed from recently relegated Plymouth Argyle on a three-year deal. The former Pilgrim netted 74 times in 248 appearances in Devon and is believed to have been signed after his £700,000 release clause was activated. 3

Lauren James reveals she 'never doubted herself' as Chelsea star returns to England training ahead of Euro 2025 title defence
Lauren James has said she 'feels good' after returning to training in a timely boost for England ahead of their European Championship title defence. The 23-year-old forward suffered a hamstring injury against Belgium in April, forcing her to miss the end of Chelsea 's treble-winning season. Sarina Wiegman nonetheless opted to include James in her travelling squad, taking the gamble that one of her brightest young stars could make it back in time for this summer's major tournament title charge in Switzerland. That decision now looks to have paid off, with James returning to training earlier this week. She was recorded walking on to the England pitches at St George's Park with a huge smile on her face. 'I feel good,' James said. 'I never really doubted myself, because I think as soon as you have a doubt in your head, then it's always negative thoughts. 'I always had in my head that I was going to make it. I didn't tell people that, I just took it day by day.' James also described how she leaned on her Chelsea and England teammate Lucy Bronze during her fightback from injury. 'Lucy and I always kept in touch. She always would say, 'You'll be there.' Then obviously having that support, it always makes you kind of think, 'Oh, yeah, I'll be there as well.'
