An 18 month loan deal for a 36 year old player is weird - they must be effectively loaning him out to the end of his contract/career so why not just release him? I guess that Bournemouth may hold out some hope that some rich foreign team will come in for him so they can recall him from the huns & punt him off to China or wherever.
