I don't think anyone outside of Bristol has actually seen him play

They’ll end up with both Kane and Brennan as well come September 2nd

You could ‘actually’ be correct. We’ve all been watching the 2 dozen South American’s we’ve been linked with instead.......

Yes, but he gets stuck in as well, surprisingly much for a teen who wears babies shin pads and looks about 7 stone.

£25m more than if we'd spent that much on this Scott lad.

Aye they got a very good one. Just read earlier he played in their junior teams, didn’t realise that history.

He could also be the next Connor Wickham, or that Powell United signed. They don't all work out but I have more faith it will given how stats driven Bournemouth are. Still, a bit of a risk.

Glad we didn't pursue this.
No chance that we splash £25m on an unproven youngster when there's such glaring holes in the spine of our team- calling out for players who can come straight in & improve our starting 11.

Not sure I'd sign Alex Scott for £25m but I'd spend £25 on a few drinks with her.

Out until October. Would have fit in well here after all.

Sauce salad?
Seems our injury issues now stretch to players we are vaguely linked to. Shit start for the lad... Good!

They knew that when they signed him to be fair. Picked it up in his medical but still seen the value in buying him.

Sorry to break it to you Bry, but you’re urrr… not her type, if you catch my drift

Meet Bournemouth's Alex Scott - the 'Guernsey Grealish'
BBC Sport meets Bournemouth's £25m summer signing Alex Scott, nicknamed the 'Guernsey Grealish'.

Told you lot he was a good lad - if he's not going to be a superstar, he will clearly have given it his best shot.

All I’m gonna say is Ross wasn’t gonna be fooled by either of them, nor was I.

Depends really doesn't it? Bournemouth spent a fair amount of money on a lad who is still very young (still just a teenager at the time) who was a standout player at his previous club despite not having really come through an academy system and the side he came from being mid table.
They were definitely buying potential but also at a price and an age where his resale value is likely to go up not down - with a few PL games under his belt he will fetch them even more money and if they do go down he will be back at a level where he has performed well or will earn another move to another PL club.
They will presumably have looked at Alex's knee issue over the summer and decided that it is nothing to worry about long term, and that he will be available when it's recovered (and that they would probably have to pay more if he moved in Jan). He also has no significant injury history previously.
You can see why we might not have taken the risk but I don't think the injury was the reason why. We're already stocked with AMs with Elanga, CHO, MGW and other CMs at the club like Yates, Sangare, Mangala, Dominguez, if the plan was to go for all of those at the time then you can see why we would have chosen not to pay (I think) 20m on a 19 year old boy who has only played 2 seasons in the division below, and is currently injured.
Saying that I think his ceiling is probably higher than Brennan's and he might even go for more next time they both move.
