Why Alex Scott Has Plenty of Premier League Suitors

Bristol City’s Alex Scott is one of the EFL’s most prodigious talents. Here's why he's now a primary target for various Premier League clubs.

It’s why we don’t have ITKs on here anymore cause the ********* chase then away.

Surely you can see the humour in it? Not sure why everything has to be taken so seriously. We've got someone texting his grandad who in turn is speculating on Lopetegui's career at Wolves. Maybe ITKs should stop taking themselves so seriously.

 

[Beijing Wolf]

There should be negativity if we don't sign Alex Scott - that would be being balanced.

If we can't beat Bournemouth to a player our manager desperately wants, the fair response falls into negative - because it's bad.

You should try that. Instead your stance has resulted in your questioning whether Alex Scott's Grandad knows about his Grandson, because some poster on MM has said something different

Again all Im saying is who knows what is happening until it actually happens. Things can always change.

You are still twisting my words. I said we don’t know when they spoke last as apparently the situation only changed a few days ago. Of course I would believe his Grandfather over some guy on MM, I was just clarifying as information can be out of date.

Of course I would be annoyed if Scott does go to Bournmouth. Just some posters seem to revel in negativity

 

[Golden Arrow]

Stop bickering folks. Enough already.

Love that word "bickering ", but yes I concur with your words.
Folk falling out on the sabbath is not cricket, or for that matter football.

 

[rincewind]

Both 'ITKs' could be true as they're different sources, could both be out of date info, could be other issues or maybe a combination of things. Never understood why people get upset with these type of posts or threads. Just take all of them with a pinch of salt and move on.

 

[wwbug]

You mean the guy that’s telling the world you’re not good enough…?

The squad not the individual.

 

[Skrilla]

If we were told a week ago we couldn't afford him because of FFP, what has changed since then? We sold Sarkic for £1m. Jonny, RAN, Podence, Cundle are still here. The reality of the situation is most likely the same.

If our situation is as tight as I'm imagining it, then we can't spend what could potentially put us beyond that £105m number. Still, a month left in the transfer window, so plenty of time to work on loans (obligations to buy will look a lot more attractive at the end of the transfer window than they do now) or frees in that time, and the squad is already very strong minus another right-sided centre back.

Not quite the doomsday scenario some on here desperately want to paint it as if we happen to miss out on Scott. If Julen walks because he doesn't get to sign a 19-year-old that would largely be on our bench this season then honestly that's just extremely petulant.

 

[JOSWolf]

This isn't true.

You've accused me and others of not having a clue, telling me to run along and accusing me of being a b****e on a fishing trip. You've tried to pick several fights with lots of people.

You attack posters personally and it's unpleasant.

He is always like it. Today he has been even worse on here.

 

[Living at other WWFC]

Seems so well I won’t bother anymore almost didn’t message him wish I hadn’t now !

Many unpleasant responses to your info.
Sad.
Very sad.
So easy to be offensively gobby.
Doesn't paint a pretty picture of our posters.

 

[JohnB]

Just had a reply, Bournemouth more likely now , manager loves him but we ain’t got the money

On the positive doesn’t say it is a done deal.

 

[JOSWolf]

Thanks for the info wolfinaguernsey. It is appreciated by most.

 

[Rhoswolf]

He is always like it. Today he has been even worse on here.

Poster your agreeing with accusing @wolfinaguernsey of lying, not the best.

 

[Redrockwanderer]

Knowing what I know about Fosun, I doubt much would leak unless they want it to leak. I’m still waiting to see if anything comes out through Percy etc…

I for one do like to read the goss/rumours etc. makes it enjoyable to read, whether I believe it or not is another matter… however keep the goss flowing! Makes a boring transfer window slightly more fun!

I still think something is awaiting to drop on Scott, same with the CB from Germany and then both will sign…

As I said above if he is a generational talent how come Bournemouth is the best he can do?

I can't be the only one who finds the whole "itk" a bit cringe most of it is clearly rubbish!? If someone wants to pass on info they have heard fair enough adds to the drama of these threads I suppose..

Certainly won't get upset and attack poster if it comes off or not just makes me laugh..

 

[Mutchy]

Stop bickering folks. Enough already.

Okay. Let me be clearer. All this stops now.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

I'm a big Scott fan. I think not signing him would be a mistake. But, if we could squeeze out one signing for me it's got to be a centre half

 

[Nivada]

As I said above if he is a generational talent how come Bournemouth is the best he can do?

Wolves is the best he can do

 

[Rhoswolf]

Agree about centre half being the priority.

 

[JamesWolves]

Who called him a generational talent ? Massive stretch that would be, that's putting him on the same level as Bellingham, who's light years ahead of him in ability at the same age

 

[lets all have a disco]

It will be podence out , elvidi in I reckon.....

Any other signing with be a loan signing at best I reckon....

Just some report article look for my post

 

[Joshwolf218]

And another player with be a loan signing at best I reckon....

Strong position with Eveldi it's either lose him for free or take some cash for him

As Hobbs said transfers at the right time

 

[MotorWoden]

The story @wolfinaguernsey hasn't addressed is how does Scott's grandad know Lop is going to walk and how much we have to spend?

No footballer knows how much a club has to spend, least of all one that doesn't play for the club.

And why would the manager tell a prospective player that he's going to leave the job unless he joins?

I mean come on, it's just not realistic which is why people are pulling his leg.

If @wolfinaguernsey had said Scott is likely to go to Bournemouth because we can't agree a deal I think most would believe him but the embellishments are what makes it obviously made up.

He didn't say he knew anything, he expressed an opinion. Which is very clear in the text. It's not hard to imagine agents and players (and therefore their families) pay attention to what is happening at clubs and may form an opinion on what the future of that club is going to be based on their various negotiations or just rumours on the press. They have better information or they may not.

Assurances from the manager that is signing you that he intends to stick around may be integral to your decision to sign... Not therefore unreasonable.

I’m sure the info that @wolfinaguernsey kindly provided is correct. I did wonder if maybe it was outdated but apparently the Grandad and Scott are very close so he is kept up to date. Regarding the info on Julen I’m sure that is how the situation looks from a Bristol point of view.

Only hope is that after the meeting between Jeff, Shi and Hobbs that we have yet to come back in with a new bid? But who knows.

I hope things will be clearer as we get closer to the first game.

My personal opinion is that Julen will be here until the transfer window closes. Whether he stays or goes after that will likely depend on if we bring anybody in.

It is frustrating as we look a good side with Julen at the helm.

 

[Timberwolf]

The squad not the individual.

Lol…that’s okay then

 

[berwickwolf]

Think you are funny

You had it right weeks ago, it's just news we don't want to hear! 'There was a wicked messenger....' Dylan

 

[Wolves Heathen]

As this is a topic about Alex Scott (Bristol City version) my thoughts, Wolves are not exactly short in midfield with Nunes, Lemina, Gomes, Traore, Hodge all able to do a job, adding yet another at this time would be a waste of money that we apparently don't have a lot of, I believe spending on other areas of the team would be better, and if Loppy don't like it then he knows what to do.

Well you watch the second half Saturday does Scott get into the team?? Not sure to be honest. Nunes proving me wrong go on lad

No he doesn't get into the starting lineup based off the limited games I've watched of him. Cup games and sub appearances until he gets used to the league I'd imagine.

He'd be a fantastic option at 60-70 minutes when legs are getting tired, the way Julen has them pressing will take a toll on the players so having high quality subs will be important.

 

[Deleted member (smith)]

I have no reason to doubt the judgment of the manager .It’s clear they would like Scott in and a Centre Back and two or three players out ( Podence and some peripherals.) Despite those who say FFP is not an issue it obviously is a continuing issue . The 105 million loss over three years is a maximum the the club can lose if the shareholder puts it in.seems the 22 loss was 46 and the expected 23 loss mat be higher because of last summer and January un budgeted spent. 24 likely has to be a profit to bring us back under 105. In those circumstances this summer and next january will not be big spends and we may not wish to take the chance on Scott. Hopefully a loan to buy or two will complete the squad. Not sure I see this as a huge issue.

 

[Southdownswolf]

With Luke Cundle off to Plymouth tomorrow, thats another couple of grand a week wages (guessing) we can afford. Another small step....

Another eleven pages of nonsense.
He will either come, or he won't.

there have been 446.4k post on the MM forum, 446.3k of them have probably been nonsense. It's a forum, it's what happens.

[Oldvic161]

Seems to me that Scott is the sort of template that fosun should be targeting, young, going to be really good and one who will increase in value in a couple of years, I’m not sure what the biggest fee for a young championship player is but I don’t think £25m is excessive in this day and age(if you can afford it) Saudis might want him in 2 years for £75m. Maybe the bigger clubs want ready made, big 6 would rather invest in 16/17 yr olds or marquee signings, spurs, West Ham he’d not be involved much but I think with us or even Bournemouth he’d get game time but not necessarily a starter. Yes our priority should be CB, but also as a future FFP sale, Scott should be bought.

 

[Deleted member Sussex wolf]

To summarise recent reports and rumours…

Firstly, Jeff’s letter basically managed expectations on incomings this summer, so we shouldn’t expect much, but he didn’t say there would be no signings or that no money would be spent.

Secondly, it’s reported only Bournemouth and Wolves have been actively pursuing Scott. Bournemouth offered 15m a few weeks back, which was rejected, and they said they wouldn’t pay what Bristol wanted. We made a couple of offers up to 20m, which were also rejected, and it’s been widely reported that JL is keen on signing him. Bristol maintain they want 25m+ Both the Bristol coach and sporting director have this weekend admitted PL interest in Scott, and that he may be sold, but that they will only sell him if the deal is right for them.

Thirdly, a few days ago, Percy said Bournemouth had met Bristol’s asking price and were in advanced talks to sign him. The only fly in this ointment, is that at the time Percy said that, Romano reported that Bournemouth had agreed an offer of around 12m for Castrovilli, who by all accounts would fill exactly the same spot in their team as Scott. That transfer was progressing until he failed his medical on Friday, and is now off. So while Bournemouth are potentially still interested in Scott, indications are Percy’s report was wrong based on when it dropped and what happened with Castrovilli, and the amount they are seeking to pay is at least 10m less than Bristol are looking for Scott.

We’ve then had a host if ITKs on Molmix and journalists saying a variety of things from we have no money for Scott now, to its Scott or JL walks, to its back on and will be done next week, and every variation in between. Some may be accurate, some may once have been accurate but overtaken by events, and some may be garbage, whether intentional or not. Some may even be intentional distraction leaks by one or more clubs involved.

We really don’t know what the status is, and likely won’t until either the relevant clubs announce a move, or Romano posts a “here we go”. My personal view, based entirely on what I’ve seen reported above and my gut instinct, is that Scott will move this summer because the money will be too important to Bristol to ignore, and it’s more likely to us unless a third club (ie not Bournemouth) with deeper pockets steps in. I’m not being disrespectful to Bournemouth, only observing what they offered for Scott and Castrovilli, and what Bristol want for Scott.
