Gert Mare Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 Just watched his first interview at Bournemouth. He is very grounded for a 19 year old and genuinely surprised by how far he has come in the last 3 years. He is very complimentary when it comes to Bristol City and how he will always be grateful for the opportunities that he was given by the club. Clearly excited by the prospect of playing in the Premier League, and describes it as every kids dream. It’s almost like he can’t believe it himself having been disillusioned with football after being released by Southampton and totally lacking self belief. It’s a credit to him that he remains humble despite the fact that he is clearly a very talented footballer. He is top class all round and deserves every success in the future. Pleased he extended his contract to ensure that we benefited well financially from his departure. We’re definitely more financially solid now and the next few years shouldn’t be as frustrating as the previous few. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I’ve been this gutted since Scott Murray left for Reading. That’s football though, and until we finally get to the Prem, this will be life unfortunately. People may be mad about SL selling Alex, however, as you can see from that interview, he wanted the move (and who can blame him). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s absolutely nothing wrong on modeling success. It would never be an exact copy of another but an adaptation. I am delighted if he is following the examples of those clubs you can mention. ( excepting that Brentford ditched their academy so not exactly the same model) . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 Anyone worried that none of these reports mention a sell-on clause? Lots of £20m, rising to £25m with add ons, but haven’t actually seen a sell-on clause mentioned yet… Someone reassure me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathandao Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Anyone know when Scott will be added to FPL? Reckon he will be a cheap pickup and he's definitely going in my team when he's back from injury.

chinapig Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 I listened to the Totally Football Show podcast this morning and Duncan Alexander of The Athletic and the artist formerly known as Opta Joe said West Ham should have gone for Scott not Ward-Prowse.

Lots of £20m, rising to £25m with add ons, but haven’t actually seen a sell-on clause mentioned yet… Someone reassure me. Not really. A sell on is likely to be something like 20% of the profit Bournemouth make on any future sale. So if they sold for £50m we get 20% of £25m, which is £5m. Now that's not chump change of course, and if it's in the deal then great, but it's also no longer the sort of sum that makes or breaks our finances. The numbers above are assumed of course, and any one of them could be wrong, but personally I don't think we'd be too stressed about it. The counter is I guess "well Rice went for £100m" and 20% of £75m profit is £15m, and that would change our finances for a season, but that's not guaranteed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behaved far more professionally than say, Famara, who appeared to goon strike for a month. Not defending Fam, and not for a moment decrying how professional AS has been, but those two scenarios are very very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen that too His value was only going downwards in that case as would have only had a couple of months gametime before Jan and at that point, the contract would have become an issue. We’ve done well to get the deal we’ve got in the circumstances. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help feeling that caused us to push the sell button a bit. A couple of months, can easily turn into longer. He certainly wouldn't have been available for Millwall tomorrow (like NP said he probably would of). Sounds like it was a good time for all parties to get a deal done. For me, the Scott saga has been a bit of an unnecessary saga this summer. Luckily we have another 3 weeks to address any perceived areas of improvement in the team now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
