Love 'wonder kids' being on our radar.

What happens to them?

 

[tcyrus]

my advice to any wonderkid is,
if spurs come calling,
RUN!

 

[Chedozie]

Hope he’s a central midfielder

Hope he’s a central midfielder

I believe he is.

Never a fan of labeling youngsters anything more than keen and acknowledging natural ability. Too much pressure.

Being a "Wonderkid" should come with a disclaimer of "when compared to their peers of the same age".

after you buy them, you wonder why you did

Can’t be better than John Bostock

 

[TheChosenOne]

Who will we loan him out to ?

 

[Chedozie]

I believe he is.

Great, sign him up.

Being a Wonderkid used to mean a teenager playing for the national team.
It now means any youngster who is training with the first team (they used to be promising players)

Also see headlines that refer to every player as a Star.. “Tottenham Star set to leave club.” - Harry Winks is wanted Newcastle”

If he can control the ball in less than 2 touches, can pass forward and to a teammate, surely it’s a no brainer

Didn’t see this link but follow Bristol city as they’re local and have watched them live a few times this and last season.

Alex Scott is one of a number of young players coming through at city, (along with Antoine Semenyo who Is slightly older hope we’re keeping an eye on) partly forced because injuries but has earned his right to be part of the squad ever since coming through.

He definitely has all the talls to be a very good player, seen a comparison to Grealish, there are some similarities but that’s a bit lazy. He won’t be cheap and will need probably 1 or 2 season in the championship on loan before making the step up.

 

[lincspurs]

Maybe he’s one bought from the Development fund we were told about

Quite a reasonable insight...

Alex Scott: The making of Bristol City's 'Guernsey Grealish'

When Alex Scott was replaced by Joe Williams 77 minutes into the 2021/22 season opener against Blackpool there was a feeling around Ashton Gate that the home support might've just had their first taste of something special.

Thanks for sharing that. The lad seems to have a great attitude.

Should we really target him, this part of the article makes me oh so excited to read people's judgement of his appearance ...

In the City manager’s own words, Scott is “a very intelligent footballer” and one with “a good game understanding”.

Those traits inform his style of play – the comfort on the ball, vision, range of passing, smart movement, and winning of fouls in useful areas (only 11 players have been fouled more often in the Championship this term) – and are part of the reason he’s drawn comparisons to England’s Jack Grealish.

Scott’s floppy hair, low socks, and small shinpads have contributed, as well, of course, while the two share a burning confidence in their own ability.......

Good times!

i live 10 mins from ashton gate, few of my family members have season tickets & they all rave about him. cant say ive seen much of him, but the very little i have, hes quick and 2 footed and can see a pass, which is already an upgrade on what we have.
