It’s minimum £25mill to get a seat at the table plus additions, whether that is fees, or a player, plus sell on clauses Bang on and what I and others have been saying ad nauseum. 20M doesn't get you through the door. Why is it so difficult for people to get their head around that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this has been mentioned already Given where this rumour comes from (Givemesport), feels like a re-hash of previous rumours over the past few weeks, since their 2nd bid was rejected. Ever since then, all the other rumours suggest that Wolves have FFP concerns still and so can’t afford Alex. As things stand, can’t see him going there….

Silvio Dante Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Increasingly confident he’ll start the season here. That “givemesport” article has a line in it that feels nonsense to me - it indicates bigger clubs are not paying £25m as he’s not a guaranteed starter. With respect, that’s nonsense. Big clubs in todays market go north of £20m for players who are just squad players - check Chelsea last season and even today Arsenal are rumoured to be paying £40m for Raya to act as sub goalkeeper. Where the truth probably is on that is that Alex Scott doesn’t want to go somewhere and not play - he’s seen it with his England midfield partner. The bigger clubs may rate him, they may not - but Scott’s long held approach of wanting to play means that right now, his aims and the aims of probably the top 8-10 don’t align. So, we’re in a position where it is the Wolves and Bournemouths of the world in the running. And I think he’s too sensible to want to go to the skipfire of the former, while the latter have gone quiet. I think he’s here for half one of the season. If he then plays as we know he can, and establishes himself at England U21, then that alignment come January or next summer changes the equation for all parties. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Perhaps both will be accurate. Wolves will make a third and final offer but it will fall short of £25m Or they may offer a loan to buy or a lower fee plus part exchange.

W-S-M Seagull Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) To begin with I thought Alex could do better than Wolves, and I still believe he can. However for us I'm starting to think Wolves may be a great move as if they get relegated then after a season of impressing in the Premier League he may quickly get another move back to the Premier League which will see us get a sell on fee.

ciderwithtommy Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Hmmm - i would assume that bornmuff and wolves have spoken to his entourage and a) he would leave if the bid is accepted and b) he can agree terms (which probs are already done). It does feel like it’s got to be this week or never for wolves, as they will have to move some players in pretty urgently and certainly don’t have unlimited funds. I have no inside info, but my take is it will happen this week, and that we have probably maximised his value by playing really hard ball. However I would love to see him here until Jan.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) We are 140 pages in now and for me 3 things have become clear: 1) City don't want to sell (hence the hardball) 2) The sit down price before we consider a sale is £25M and nothing less will do (hence the hardball) 3) Quite a few on here would have happily sold their brand new still in the box Corgi James Bond Aston Martin for a winning conker and 2 everlasting gob stoppers.

They also have to move players out including some Lopetegui doesn't want to lose. He said recently that they can't even afford their plan B now! If that happens and he doesn't get Scott either I can see him walking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly a stable club is it? Their owners Fosun are being hit by the Chinese government restricting the movement of money out of the country also. Lopetegui really wants Alex but their plan B was to sign young players in the £8m to £15m range so it's hard to see them meeting our valuation and payment terms. We will soon know I suppose.
