Scotland Linked With Swans Return
Scotland Linked With Swans Return
Thursday, 27th Jan 2011 09:16

Swansea sources are linking Town striker Jason Scotland with a move back to the Liberty Stadium. Scotland enjoyed a hugely successful two-year spell with the Swans between 2007 and 2009, netting 53 goals in 91 starts and 14 sub appearances.

The 31-year-old joined the Blues from Wigan for a fee understood to be in the region of £750,000 in the summer and has scored seven times in 22 starts and six substitute appearances. He is contracted to the Blues until the summer of 2012.

The Swans, who were interested in signing their former player in the summer before his move to Portman Road, yesterday allowed ex-Town frontman Shefki Kuqi to leave by mutual consent and Scotland may be seen as the man to replace the Finnish international in their squad, given his previous success playing in their lone striker’s role.

Last week, Blues boss Paul Jewell said he had no plans to allow any of the current squad to move on, although that could change if the right offer came in for players he doesn’t see as integral to his plans going forward.

Meanwhile, Town were amongst a long list of clubs represented at Bournemouth’s Dean Court on Saturday to watch the Cherries defeat fellow League One high flyers Brighton 1-0. Crystal Palace, Watford, Bristol City, QPR, Middlesbrough, Norwich and Cardiff are also reported to have sent scouts, while Scunthorpe have been eyeing Bournemouth players at previous games.

The Lincolnshire club, along with Palace, are said to be chasing defender Jason Pearce, the Cherries skipper, and midfielder Marvin Bartley.

Watford have been linked with keeper Shwan Jalal, while midfielders Marc Pugh, Liam Feeney and Anton Robinson are also understood to be those interesting other clubs.

Scotland will probably be on quite high wages as he came from the prem, pointless having that sort of money being paid to a bench warmer

I think we need four strikers. Was hopeful that a player would come in as competiton for Wickham, Scotland and Priskin. Look at the top sides they have option. So if we sell Scotland we will need TWO new strikers in my opinion.

That said, despite scoring two goals Scotland looks like a player with little interest. Imagine he is on big money.

If we loose Scotland then weve failed because this guy can get goal after goal after goal we have as said earlier been plying him wrongly his a gary liniker type a poacher let him run free to bag the goals Would you run your heart out knowing full well given the right position he would have bagged a brace in many games Ive watched him and Im sure he is really frustrated being told to hang on to the ball its not how he plays DONT LOOSE SCOTLAND HE IS OUR FUTURE HATRICK MAN!!!!!
