Former midfielder Neil Maddison, who summarises for BBC Tees, says new arrival Ben Doak is a player who will get Bournemouth fans off their seats.
He told BBC Radio Solent: "You've got a winger that is direct, whoever he is playing against he is going to get at them and more than ever he will get past them and deliver balls into the box. He is very quick - blistering pace.
"He normally goes on the outside and I think at times in the Premier League you might get found out that way but for me, he is a player who doesn't care who he is playing against because he is going to get at you.
"I always thought that he wouldn't get into Liverpool's side because I would say technically he has still got a lot to learn in that department.
"In terms of his pace, his aggression - it's all there. It's just that technical ability where you get past the man and you're looking for a decent ball.
"He can be hit and miss at times but he just frightens defenders and therefore he pushes defences back and it allows that midfield to get the ball a little bit more.
"I guarantee you'll be off your seats when he's on the ball because he is just so direct and he loves getting into full-backs, taking them on, he loves creating opportunities and for us in the Championship he was at a different level altogether."
