Jason Scotland - bid by Brighton

[Foolg]

I think our fans are more ambitious. I would like us to sign a younger striker with something to prove.

We need SOME experience, looking at our side at the moment, the midfield and front 2 are all very young. Obviously that's great, but look at the influence people like Kish, Forster ('til it went tits up), and Hart had on the squad in recent years. Not only that but he'd bring options, we (I presume) cannot afford to bring in two promising young strikers because we all know they cost top wack.
Scotland and 1 big name competing with Barnes and Hoskins would be SUPERB imo.

yep seconded, spot on in my opinion, also add he thrived at Swansea who play a similar style to us.

And before that Butters, Blackwell, Morgan, Rogers etc.
It's VITAL.

There are some right MONGS on this forum.

Go get him Gus!

 

[Zebedee]

People who say that about Murray are jsut saying that.
I'm not sure why people seem to think Scotland's such a terrible player?

Maybe because Ipswich are keen to get shot of him? I thought we had more ambition.

But then they have just signed Nathan Ellington, an overweight has been on ridiculously high wages whose recent record is far worse than Scotland's. I'd much rather have the latter.

I'd happily resist both of them.

Jewell's doing a Micky Adams - just signing someone who he's managed before, no matter what they've done since. I'd much rather have JS, anyone who says he's not good enough, not Poyet's kind of player or he doesn't suit our style of play is a cupid stunt.

I'd glady take Scotland. Proven at this level and as good a target man as Murray was (important defensively aswell). Providing he is signed along with this 'big money' younger striker (CMS) it would be cracking business in my opinion.

agreed, lets hope its not going to be another 1000 messages, 50 page thread before something is confimed!

 

[Kazenga <3]

I'd take him.

 

[Brighton till i die]

would be a f***ing IMMENSE signing if we pull it off.

 

[The Modfather]

sign him up, sign him up, sign him up

So you reckon Paul Jewell knows better than Gus Poyet?
Besides there are plenty of players who do better at some clubs than others for a whole range of reasons.

 

[terry1]

Cant believe Jason Scotland is only 5'8. I thought he was 6'2 at least. He looks huge on the pitch

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Just out of interest has anybody seen JS play recently, does he still have plenty of pace?

 

[terry1]

I doubt he will still have that pace. Holds the ball up well tho.

 

[Rich Suvner]

5'8 - joke surely!!!!!

 

[churley1]

He is small but very stocky, thought he looked excellent against us about 3 seasons ago for Swansea without even scoring.

I think he looked very good at Swansea but only in a 4-5-1 formation and at 32 I'm not convinced he has the legs to play that role still.
