Nibor Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Scowcroft is nowhere near as good as any of our four strikers, I doubt it. Hopefully any contact between the two clubs is about Watson though that seems a little unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bully Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I bloody hope not. We couldn't buy more of a has been. This would be Colin's ultimate revenge on City wouldn't it.. If he'd like to drop Ben Watson into the deal though, I might forgive him.. Like everyone else, City will be linked with a fair few players over the next few days - i'll believe a signing when it happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Tom Soares might be worth a punt but James Scowcroft?! No thank you. Much prefered the rumour regards the Icelandic guy from Fulham and even then I'm sceptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhyde Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Palace change their entire system to 4-5-1 and get rid of their top scorer as they don't guarentee him first team games. And then they try to sell the 1 who they base their entire system about... who starts all their league games... to possibly one of their promotion rivals... This is Colin magic. They're signing Alan Lee from Ipswich as a replacement. Wooooo go Colin. As to Scowcroft on the surface it'd be a big fat "meh" were there any truth in it.

Bangkok Red Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 WTF!!....these Scowcroft rumours might have some credibility...500K fee mentioned in one article. http://www.southlondon-today.co.uk/tn/Sport.cfm?id=14983 Scowcroft mulling over City switch Friday, 29 August 2008 By Richard Cawley CRYSTAL Palace striker James Scowcroft has been told he can leave Selhurst Park - and is thinking over a move to Bristol City. The 32-year-old only signed a new 12-month deal towards the end of last season - triggering an extension after playing 25 matches - but Eagles boss Neil Warnock has given him permission to speak to the Robins. The South London Press understands that former Ipswich and Leicester forward Scowcroft is going to spend a couple of days deciding if he wants to move to Ashton Gate. And there could be other teams that make a move before Monday's transfer window - with Watford and Huddersfield both thought to be interested in his services.

downendcity Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Scowcroft is 32, and with Dele at 33 and Trundle going on 32, surely we need build a younger strike force, not Dad's Army. At this rate, our next signings will be Windass partnered up front by Sherringham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cswhitlock Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 No way No NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO we do not want Scowcroft he came on in the P/O semis lasted a minute went off with a torn hammy no thanks Gary get the young lad from Ebbsfleet he looks the bargain and great foil for the likes of LT DA NM and SB and at 19 is what we really need pace power and ability like previously posted NO DADS ARMY PLEASE Surely age concern wouldnt do bad to open an office outside Ashton Gate if JS does sign up and maybe we want to boost the NHS in Bristol too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Would take soares and look to develop him with the staff we have here not sure on scowcroft though??

bartolona Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 "Warnock accepted a nominal offer from City boss Gary Johnson" Sounds better than the £500k mentioned elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 IF Scowcroft signs then you have to feel that it poses serious questions over Trundles role in the squad. With Brooker being prolific from the bench and considering Scowcroft will clearly not come here to keep Trundle company on the side-lines, it can only be concluded that from starting in the play-off final little more than 4 months ago Trundle has free-fallen to 5th choice striker in the blink of an eye. Regardless of how it is portrayed that is a rather spectacular fall from grace for last seasons million pound man, to the extent that a swift cut price deal seeing him leave the club is far from unthinkable. Whilst I very much trust Johnsons judgement I have to say that if this were to go through it would be a rather un-inspiring signing and more importantly, seem to add very little to what the squad currently posses.
