There is probably no club out there that needs Alex Scott more than us, and there is absolutely no better club for Alex Scott to pick from out there than us. Here's why:
1. He is joining a club where he will play in double pivot with one of the best No.6/b2b hybrids out there in Moises Caicedo. He will have someone to rely on when he steps up, and they will easily interchange and even press together off the ball. Going from Tyler Adams to Moi is highest possible upgrade in terms of midfield partnership.
2. He will have as many England's NT teammates as one can wish for. People underestimate power of playing with same players at club and country level. That connection is the reason why lot of clubs have players starting for NT because of the synergy these players have playing with eachother week in, week out.
3. He will have one of the best leaders out there in Henderson to show him the way and help him ease in moving from Bournemouth to Chelsea, which is undoubtly a step up and whole another level to prove yourself at ( all props to Bournemouth, i mean no disrespect ofcourse ). I have no doubt that hand around shoulder will give him a lot of confidence from such a well respected player in world of football.
4. If we continue playing this same system, he will have top protection behind him. He will have more licence to roam and will be able to play with full freedom. He will have legs in Moi next to him and players like Lacroix, Josh, Hato etc behind him who all got transition speed and can fix his step ups when going into counterpress in higher zones.
5. He struggled with some smaller injuries, and if he joins us in january, he will be on 1 game a week basis ( given we dont play Europe, contrary to Bournemouth ) which will help his workload and allow him to be fresh for every game. He will also have players like Lavia, Henderson, Barco etc pushing him for starting spot, so he will definitely have competition pushing him to reach higher level.
6. Last, but not least, he will be managed by one of the best ex-midfield players out there. Whatever Alex Scott is good at ( he is a generalist so he is practically good at everything ), Xabi Alonso will find a way to highlight it, and on top of that, refine/maximise his skills to even higher level than he is on now. So for him, sky is the limit.
We are finally getting athletically + technically gifted players, runners and legs in all areas on the pitch. Adjusting and balancing our squad to fit the needs of PL football and giving Alonso players who can help him achieve long term success at our beautiful club. On top of that, this team is so much more likable than anything we had last 4+ years. You can see the unity and how they support and push eachother.
MY CLUB IS BACK ! 🤯🥶
