If he's the man making the signings,imo needs stepping down..why would you sign Liam Walsh who has a history of injuries in his career,that's one the main things you look at in a player when you make signings,and low and behold the season ain't even started and he got a hamstring injury,I don't think he has made one signing that has convinced me,maybe Bennett and perhaps Lowe if he improves on last season,,but signing Walsh who is probably on a whack..is criminal

Inevitable when looking at freebies/second chancers/loanees as we are at present. These players are a gamble. | | | |

I guess any signing is a gamble but a player with known injury history like Walsh is more of a gamble. As said, in the market we are mostly looking at our choices are more limited. Unearthing a cheap gem isn't easy and you have to take chances.
Even so, does Scott actually sign them or does he just recommend them to the manager/head coach? Once recommended I'd reckon the players history has to be discussed, including injuries. Maybe martin wouldn't have signed Walsh, or maybe he would? | |

I'd suggest that players with a history of injury have clauses in their contracts boys. Why don't you reserve your judgement OP until the end of the window. |  | | |

Because scott has had a number of windows where pmatershave been signed and not had hardly any game time or improved our squad, that must tell you something about his signings as fir Walsh injured most last season and we sign someone injury prone,and guess what he's injured again | | | |

Because now the manager situation is sorted these people need to find something else to whine about? |  |

With the imminent signing of Jamie Paterson it’s also pretty obvious Bristol city is to him what Falkirk was to Huw. |  | | |

Russell Martin needs to sort the signings from now on. Not a bloke behind the scenes who doesn't pick the team. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Fine if he is given the budget and sticks to it, spend it all and there is no more. To be reviewed a month before every window opens. |  | | |

I think Scott sources and recommends, not signs? |  |
| |
| Andy scott on 18:54 - Aug 5 with 1560 views | Chief |
I don't know the answer, so this isn't a criticism.
But Brentford have had most of their transfer success signing from Europe, most notably Denmark. Brentford's owner Benham also owns a club in Denmark, so how much of their transfer recruitment success can actually be attributed to Scott? Or is it Benham using his knowledge / contacts on the continent sourcing/ suggesting players? | |

| Andy scott on 18:55 - Aug 5 with 1559 views | Dr_Winston |
Yep.
Scott sourcing players and making recommendations is his job as head of recruitment. Head of recruitment, manager and chief executive should then get together and work to bring the preferred options to the club.
The days of a manager and manager alone having responsibility for bringing players in are long, long gone. Martin will have a say. Players he recommends himself will certainly be considered, but ultimately he's only part of the process.
We were left right up sh*t creek when Reeves buggered off with Martinez, and to a lesser extent when Potter moved on. That cannot happen. The club's scouting systems must remain independent of team management. | |

There's a list of people responsible for creating Brentford's recruitment model(s) and I've never seen a suggestion that Scott was chief among them or responsible for the whole thing. Benham and Rasmus Ankersen were changing things a few years before Scott started working for them as a scout. | | | |

Yea that makes sense considering the types of player they signed in his time there, and the types of player we're signing during his time here.
Words apart. | |

Get rid of him I say ..not doing much scouting just going through list of released players at Bristol City and signing them. | | | |

Must be talking to their physio about them as they always injured him and Walsh | | | |

Done a fantastic job at Brentford, their best players are now coming to fruition, IMO, he's good for our club and we are lucky to have him | | | |

But did he? Or does he get credit for it just because he happened to be there? As I say other people connected to Brentford have strong links to Denmark/Europe from where Brentford have had most of their joy. | |

Maupay and Watkins signed towards the end of his Brentford spell (July 2017) but Benrahma was a year later, after he'd gone. Konsa, Da Silva, Mbuemo, Norgaard, Pinnock etc. all arrived post-Scott.
Was involved with Watford in the two years before he came to us. | | | |

When your head of recruitment it’s hard not to get some credit for decent signings. |  |
