ANDONI Iraola says there will be “circumstances money cannot control” when it comes to Cherries’ summer transfer plans, adding: “The market changes every day.”
Today marks the official opening of the transfer window, allowing clubs in England to do deals up until it closes on Friday, August 30.
Cherries are expected to spend again this summer to bolster their squad, while speculation continues over the futures of some of their players, in particular Dominic Solanke and Milos Kerkez.
Young goalkeeper Alex Paulsen has already been signed, from Wellington Phoenix, while Lloyd Kelly leads a string of departures on a free transfer.

Asked if the club needs to sell players this summer, or what the plans look like, Iraola replied: “I suppose the club will try to do the best deals they can and try to improve the team.
“But when the market is open, we don’t know what is going to happen, because we don’t know the offers we are going to have.
“The market changes every day. You cannot start and think we are going to sign one right-back, one left-back, one number six, no.
“Sometimes something happens that doesn’t affect you at another club, then the other clubs comes to your club and sends you a player and then you have to move and be ready for whatever happens.
“We have to prepare as good as we can and I know the club is doing.
“But there are circumstances money cannot control.
“I will try to give my opinion and try to help, but I am not the one signing players.
“I will try to help the club, but I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
As well as Kelly, Darren Randolph, Jamal Lowe, Emiliano Marcondes and Ryan Fredericks have all exited, while Andrei Radu’s loan has come to an end.
