Touting only because the management realise what a gem Scott is.

To keep him much longer denies him the improvement he'll get from playing in the Premiership. The rest of the squad probably isn't good enough to make a real challenge yet even though many fans are feeling quite confident.

So we are looking to sell him for top current price to be able to recruit maybe two or three more who will improve us considerably.

So we lose an apparently top of the range player to increase the quality of the rest of the squad.

To keep him, ultimately, against his will will be disastrous. Scott will never be an Atyeo, staying here for his whole career. If we are to survive as a club long term, it has to be in the Prem and we should stop allowing the things like Luton to make a mint instead of us!

 

This thread is quite busy, so if I make the point that someone else has already made then sorry.

Another factor that people overlook is the signing of kids in all this. If you were a young player who wanted to have a career in the game and had the choice of a few academy sides, one of the pulls for Bristol City must now be, 'We'll train you well, we'll help you develop, we'll offer a pathway to the first team squad' followed by.... 'And when you exceed our expectations, and clubs come in for you, we'll not stand in your way so where better to start your journey than with us?'

Scott starting today,so nothing happening soon.

He'll start until a bid is accepted,

It also says to me anyway that a deal isn't close,

Can do nothing but praise Scott's professionalism, its remarkable for a lad his age ?

We can compromise at £25M.

Wolves should try the Beadles approach...

£25 million?

And he can start to make you better

Better, better, better, better,

Like the Brian Clough approach to compromise.

" we talk about it for 20 minutes and then agree I was right"

One of my favorites! 

Another one is the session on crossing that he had with John Robertson first thing on a Monday after a poor performance the previous Saturday!

Interesting comments on talksport. Crooks thinks Bournemouth will come back in rather than Wolves which is the first I have heard that. 
 

( I realise talksport is rubbish. I’m still waiting for Grabban to sign) 

The other day he was saying Bournemouth were the only interested party at 15 million. Bournemouth probably got him to say that. 

Don't like him after that. Rubbish thing is if we go up, he'll probably be allocated to cover us as he is southern based. Not sure he's going to find himself too welcome at Ashton Gate after that.

crooks is allocated because he is their chief football correspondent. whether that carries any weight with you is personal opinion but furnishing yourself with the facts goes both ways

See that Bournemouth have just got a new left back in, the position LK was playing mainly last season.

He can play at CB or LB really as we know. Could even alternate between them a bit with Kelly as LB playing narrower some games and the new LB more orthodox for certain games.
