Starts today, along with Brady and Travers.
It's a shame the Blackpool loan didn't go through. A loan move to the Championship next season seems likely. We certainly need more midfield options, especially at 6.
Being linked with a move to Middlesbrough and in other reports Hull.

It must be hard..just when u think wow I'm a premier league player. But alas no!
Seemed more than keen to get a loan in his interview with Newstalk. Candidly stated that his preference is Premiership with Bournemouth but they signed a lot of players in January which impacted his game time and he expected more this summer which would restrict him further so admitted a loan would be the best thing for now.Originally Posted by Diggs246
Spoke well in that interview. His granny was a Dublin camogie player, GAA hall of famer apparently.
Talk amongst Boro fans is he'll be brought in to as back up to Johnny Howson or possible replacement if Howson doesn't sign a new contract.
He might aswell just stay at Bournemouth in that case, training and being part of a premiership set up is far more beneficial. If he’s going on loan in the championship he needs to actually be playing…
Moves to Stoke on loan for the 22/23 season, presumably as a replacement for the departed Joe Allen.

Interesting to see how he does under Michael O’Neill.
No start yet in championship. Game time is critical for him and stoke already out of league cup. If no breakthrough looking likely before sept 1, alternative options need to assessed.
tis not looking good.
They play 3 midfielders. He will get games. We are not half way through the season and he is not behind prime Roy Keane in their pecking order.
Got on for 18 minutes tonight. Let’s see if he can break through to start consistently
Looking through their forum Clucas was terrible, Kilkenny did ok. Hopefully he will get a chance with a start in the next game. Smallbone also seems to have had a v poo game tonight too
Stoke just seem like a very poorly managed team. I'm not sure it's the best place for the two Irish lads to develop this season unfortunately - they're likely to be regularly rotated in and out by a manager who doesn't seem to know what he's doing, instead just trying to strike it lucky with a different starting team each game.
They've a huge squad, and supposed to be signing Liam Delap on loan as well
<EDIT>
Season long loan for Delap confirmed

Disappointing that he's not at a club where he's an automatic pick. Looked very good for Bournemouth when given opportunities last season.
Two ways of looking at that. He might not work as hard if he was an automatic pick. He has a challenge on his hands to get in ahead of an experienced pro like Sam Clucas. Same thing Molumby achieved last year but moreso this year at West Brom.
Michael O'Neill sacked as Stoke manager. Will be interesting to see what effect that has on Gavin's playing time.
The smart play from him is to size up his options before sept 1 and try to find a manager/team who want him with guaranteed start time. Or at least push for reassurances at Stoke. For me, he’s a player that may take a while for a manager to trust in the sitting role and may not get that time with a new manager who’s under pressure for instant results. Also, being a loan player not brought in by the new manager will be against him
