You’re doing it quite a lot. That’s not part of your role as admin or a board member of the trust. Perhaps focus on the things people do care about and feeding thing to and from the club. I'm a bit lost here. What is the difference of anyone who is admin telling someone they don't care or any other member on here saying the same thing?

McCrorie wades in at page No9 so we interested a tiny bit whilst Benarous is slightly more interesting at page No6. Vyner is slipping down the charts but Lee Johnson remains incredibly interesting over 100's of pages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally as soon as they walk away from BS3 that is where my interest ends I'd rather put my time and effort into backing those still pulling on the red of Bristol City Sadly unless we get him to sign a new contract I would fully expect him to be gone in January, but he would be going North not South East - but that is for a discussion on a different thread Of course I would rather our best players stay. In general, Am I interested in former players, I think we all are to a certain extent. Scott on the other hand is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also reckon the Cherries will be fine though because Sheffield Utd, Hatters and Burnley may well all perform worse than Bournemouth this season - but I bet they are regretting getting rid of our old stalwart Gary O’Neill as gaffer though ... even if they will probably stay up simply because other sides aren’t as good as them ...

fgrsimon Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 In hindsight it now looks like Wolves might have been the better choice for him, although it didn't seem like it at the time. Wolves look to have the basis of a decent squad this season but Bournemouth look like a train crash. Tough ask for anyone to come into a struggling team for their first experience of PL. Whether Wolves were prepared to meet the asking price or been prepared for a 3 month injury is another question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtongreight Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 For me it isn’t hindsight, Bournemouth were never a good choice. I understand the draw of the PL, both in terms of money, the chance to play at the highest level , and the opportunity of exposure, however Scott is good enough to go to a better club than Bournemouth who at present are at best a yo-yo club. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair if he plays well for the rest of the season he will be picked up by a team as they drop. I'm not sure he will care either way. He seemed genuinely gutted to be leaving, and he's a lovely lad so only wish him the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would love to see him thrive in the top echelons of the game, I still take an interest whenever I see Tammy Abraham's name pop up and he wasn't even ours! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they were the only ones that were prepared to pay and take him knowing he would be injured for a decent chunk of the season. Hopefully when he returns Bournemouth either kick on and stay up or he plays well enough to get another move, will be interesting to keep an eye on.

Loco Rojo Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 To be fair to Alex's Bournmouth choice, he might not have expected to be injured for as long as he has been. Or that their team might have struggled as they have done so far. Hindsight is easy to judge. I guess going forward he may come back soon and have a fantastic season for them and put himself back in the shop window that if they do come down, another PL club (or abroad) might come in and snap him up. Or perhaps he stays, they get relegated but they bounce straight back up to the PL. Who knows. There are too many scenarios this could play out for some to call his move to them a mistake just yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 It’s maybe going very well for Alex. He was bought very much to improve their team and with 8 games gone and Bournemouth winless and 2nd bottom, he hasn’t played a minute. Hopefully he’ll be back very soon and stay fit and if they then climb out of the relegation zone to safety it could all look very good for Alex.

Fammyfan Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Hope he comes back and inspires their upturn in form When it was said in the media that we were asking a ridiculous amount - I hope he proves these people wrong We have a sell on, meaning that Scott being successful increases our chances of a windfall in future. Scott has been vocal about how thankful he is for the development achieved here - this can only be beneficial when recruiting in future, particularly if he goes on to break into the international set up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was rumoured at the time , by Wolves fans, that they would have to sell to free up money to be able to spend. I saw posts saying they were close to FFP too . It did seem that, although Wolves were said to be very interested, Bournemouth were the only real credible option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
