Hi Ed01
Hope you're well mate?
I asked a little while back on your thoughts regarding Alex Scott and you said how much you'd thought he'd come on this past season & if I remember you were very complimentary about his progression especially in the comparison to Wharton.
Seeing or hearing some snippets that UTD, City, Arsenal & Chelsea all might be showing signs of interest in him does it seem foolish if we don't look into any possibility of moving for him given his relationship with Iraola & how much he progressed under him?
Thanks Ed
{Ed001's Note - I would have thought we should be more interested in getting a destroyer in there personally.}

Alex Scott is hardly a similar kind of player to Wharton, he is not at all a passer primarily. He is a press resistant carrier who is good in small spaces and very good at winning his duels, he's added a lot of robustness to his game since joining Bournemouth.
I'd say he's kind of like a combination of Curtis Jones and Szoboszlai, but Szoboszlai is a superior player to him and I'd say Curtis Jones isn't massively inferior to him in any regard, so I don't see the need.

Ed001, who would you like to see coming in as a destroyer for us?
{Ed001's Note - Sadiki.}

Cheers for the reply Ed ?
Patrik - With my limited "technical" expertise you seemed to have described just the player we need

Sadiki would be a great signing, he's exactly what we are missing. Against England he was the best player on the pitch by some way. If Ed 1 want him get him signed up!
