Scott is dreamland quite frankly, Pep wanked himself into oblivion waxing lyrical about him last year, the kids next move is top 4 prem, no lower! No chance. I know it's not all numbers and stats but 1 goal and 5 assists in 42 games this season? Maddison had better numbers for two years straight IIRC, has proven himself in the PL and still no solid links to top 4 prem (unless Newcastle finishing there once suddenly makes them regular now). Now sure what he did the season before but it doesn't scream big 6

Its happening .. three of the most unlikely players connected with the club and I possibly advocates!!! The inclusion of Rennie is strange, unless he is speaking to Rennie in some capacity, and Rennie has picked out people who he has worked with and admired their work ethics.

Isn't Rennie now the physio at Bristol? I don't think there's as much in this as people think unfortunately. Edited 3 June 2023 by CloudFox

Now sure what he did the season before but it doesn't scream big 6 I’m not suggesting he plays straight away. I just think Pep has spotted someone he wants to develop.

He's still a very good player who creates attacks but he needs fine tuning. 3

He seems more like an Attacking Midfielder that is also good when he drifts out wide when I've seen him play. Carlo Borges on the other hand is more of a wide forward / winger type. I'd have both here! We can fall in love, they can break our hearts, but hopefully by then we are back in the top flight. 2

He's very creative and not a traditional winger as you say, like Borges is. Can play as a 10 for sure. 2
LVFox Posted 5 June 2023 Posted 5 June 2023 Hope we don't feel too snobbish and ignore the loan market. Our facilities should put us top of the queue for any player a PL club will let yo. Rak Sakyi for me is pick of the bunch
Blanchflower78 Posted 5 June 2023 Posted 5 June 2023 The reason we need an appointment sooner than later.

Looks a real handful not only can the lad rip open defences and score but if he assists for Daka Vardy or Nacho we could get some goals, must go in for this lad he’d be a real Gem of a find can see Chelsea want a fair few quid for him tho ! 1

That's at youth level, it remains to be seen if he can do it in the men's game. It will be interesting to see what they do with their academy players though as Chelsea quite simply have way too many players, and are going to sign even more. We've done well with former Chelsea youth players in the past too, Muzzy Izzet the most famous, but Robert Huth was also a former Chelsea youth team prospect too.
