Clyne chose Bournemouth over Cardiff because of 'great manager' Howe

Nathaniel Clyne decided to join Bournemouth in order to learn from Eddie Howe.

The Liverpool fullback choose to sign with the Cherries over Cardiff City last week, which left Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock extremely frustrated.

"Bournemouth have a great manager and that's what urged me to come here," Clyne said after Bournemouth's FA Cup defeat to Brighton at the weekend.

"I've looked at how Bournemouth play and it's similar to my style."

On missing football this season, Clyne added: "I've gone a whole season and a half without really playing consistent football, which is unusual for me," the 27-year-old added. "Knowing you're fit and can go out there and play but constantly not getting selected is a bit disappointing.

"I'd rather go out and find another club which would give me the opportunities to play games."
