Scotland Now Unlikely to Return to Swansea - Ipswich Town News
Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers says it’s now unlikely that Jason Scotland will return to his former club. The Swans targeted the Trinidad and Tobago international last month but the Blues rejected the deal that they were proposing.
Rodgers said: "Jason would have had to take a cut to come here. Probably that was a stumbling block, plus the fact he got into the Ipswich team and started scoring. In that situation, you will always be reluctant as a manager to let someone out.
"Jason was someone we inquired about because we felt he could score goals in this league, but a lot of things have to happen for a deal to be done."
Scotland enjoyed a hugely successful spell with the Swans between 2007 and 2009, scoring 53 goals in 91 starts and 14 sub appearances.
