Alex Scott

[NordicWolf]

Outbidded by Bournemouth....

’You think that is bad? How about giving a Bournemouth reject a 3 year contract?

 

[Urko]

As David Coleman would say ‘And now Wolves humiliation is complete’

What a total ****show at least Fosun still have a few bootlickers

 

[Woolywolf]

I’m choosing to believe that we haven’t pursued Scott as we’re keeping Nunes. Finding it best to live in my own little world at the moment

 

[Sussex Wolf]

But he wasn't just JLs target. From the reports it was Wolves staff who showed him the scout videos & JL liked what he saw.

He may have been his no1 target but he was also a club target too.

Surely the thread can be closed now.

He was probably lined up as a replacement for Nunes. Since it appears he is going nowhere this summer (fingers crossed) and we are short of cash for preinvestments, then likely he’s less of a priority for the club right now. However it appears he was a bellwether signing for JL, and he’s ****ed off now, so I’m less stressed.

Let Bournemouth try him out in the PL this season, and when they go down, we can pick him up next summer if he’s done well

Shame
But seriously finances are tight / ffp
I suspect eventually people will get that, so sadly for at least a year we have to be pragmatic

Centre half priority
The lad from Man City on loan might be a great alternative. Free as loan, had an equally strong championship season as Scott and we then find future targets

A positive is that we are finally targeting a much broader player for signing. This is great. Scott May turn out to be amazing and a miss, it happens wish the lad well aside from against us. But there are a lot of 19-21 year old top talents, so the job is to identify the next one for when ffp is relaxed next season.

We move on I guess

 

[TheConcourse]

Honestly, I think Podence delivers better numbers than Scott this season. Not bothered about this at all.

 

[Sedgers]

Outbidded by Bournemouth.....

I think you'll find the correct word is outbiderized.

 

[topcat99]

From the last few days output, we can’t have been outbid, as we aren’t bidding for anyone at all.

That’s why JL left.

Isn’t it?

You’d think the message was loud and clear by now, right?

Are we surprised? Really?

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

I really don't get why we were ever interested in him in the first place. Technically nice but never what we needed right now.

 

[NewarkWolf]

I’m sure with time and developed game time the lad will be great and in 2/3 seasons move on to a top 6 type club in the league.

We aren’t in a position right now to be signing players that aren’t going to have an immediate impact on the first team sadly.

So Bristol thought it was a 2 horse race. So upped the ante.

But one horse was shot in the paddock.

So accept anything.

 

[SmiffyWolf]

Bournemouth splashing the cash. In fact the market has gone a bit mad today apart from at our club of course!

I thought clubs were worried by FFP

Oh wait .......

 

[floydstreet]

They like forest will have challenges next season for sure. So guess they are spending now to strengthen and then hope they can balance next summer. But both taking a chance (just like we did last season)

I think our horse was shot in the paddock before the race started . Also it has 3 ******g legs .

Fosun are a shambles though . Why not say with communication to your paying fabs we can't afford anyone this season.

But then use your players that did ok on loan . Oh wait we sold those . Absolute ****ing ****s

 

[StaffordWolf]

Hopefully Bournemouth go down so we can buy him off them next season for a cut price.

 

[The Clock]

Maybe he will become the Bournemouth version of Guedes/Trincao etc etc

 

[The Wolf Of Wombourne]

Time he had he own thread I think.

Talks last night have made his signing much more likely. Julen insistent - he's the one player he really wants and we will make it happen.

Get it done!

Looks like your source was incorrect on this one, unlikely we’d have been trying to give JL Scott when he’d already agreed to leave the previous week.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

They are still up about 10 million on what he is actually worth.

 

[Mugwump]

How embarrassing we as a premier League club can't afford this one player. Pathetic. We are setting ourselves up to be relegated with this nonsense.

 

[Ned Stark]

If he’s that brilliant why is he going to Bournemouth?

 

[Queensland Wolf]

couldnt agree more. Fosuns management ie Jeff is a joke

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

Bristol were hoping a bidding war between Wolves and Bournemouth would push the price beyond the £25m MiNIMUM asking price. Then suddenly Wolves drop out and they can't agree a price with Bournemouth fast enough.

 

[Evthewolf]

I think our horse was shot in the paddock before the race started . Also it has 3 ******g legs .

If it was shot in the paddock before the race started, the number of legs would seem irrelevant.

 

[Wiltshire Wolfie]

The MM modern day Talisca.

 

[TheConcourse]

Could say that about every single player that isn’t signed by the top four

 

[Macman]

Hopefully Bournemouth go down so we can buy him off them next season for a cut price.

But will he want to leave one Championship club for another?

 

[Royal wolf]

I really don't get why we were ever interested in him in the first place. Technically nice but never what we needed right now.

I’d assume as an investment.

[wolfinaguernsey]

I’m sure someone told you don’t believe everything you read and Bournemouth were favourites….. oh and about Julen

 

[Bankswolf The Third]

This has been the worst week I have experienced of being a wolves fan for some time

Key word SOME time before you start waggling your "we used to be in league one" nonsense as well

 

[Northampton_wolf]

everything for scott or attempts were pulled after celtic

 

[SuziQ]

BBC reporting he has signed for Bournemouth on a £25m deal. But currently has a significant knee injury so is going to be out for an unknown period of time!

Bournemouth sign midfielder Scott from Bristol City

Paying £25m for a 19 year old is a big risk. Paying that for a 19 year old with a knee injury seems like lunacy.

 

[Monketron]

If he’s that brilliant why is he going to Bournemouth?

You do wonder why 'moneyball' clubs like Brighton and Brentford didn't take a peak but I guess maybe they felt packed in those areas already.

 

[Tipton Wolves]

All done then and gone to someone else. I no longer care if he has a good career or not, not a wolves player.

 

[old wittonian]

Paying £25m for a 19 year old is a big risk. Paying that for a 19 year old with a knee injury seems like lunacy.

Must be a clause in the contract about him proving his fitness surely.

Thanked you before for your contribution, sadly seen no apologies, good to see you were right, best forget all the other "ITKs".
