Saw an article today stating that James Scott has been told he is free to find a new club in January having not featured for Hull in over a year (Hibs loan last season with 16 appearances, 4 goals 1 assist). Still only 22 and we know he can play in a front three if that is the system we are going to persist with this season. Pure speculation and know some folk are averse to former players returning. Just seems like his career has gone a bit off track since departing and his links to the club may make him a viable option. Not really an out and out striker though, which may be more of a priority. Thoughts? Also - hello all. Have been checking this forum for years so thought may as well sign up and throw in an opinion every now and again..! I'm a 'Well supporter from the Highlands with family ties to the town/area. Been following since 1996/97 season following persistent coaxing from the old man when I was 8, christ! Proud owner of a signed Eliphas Shivute picture, which must be worth at least 8 pounds now.

Welcome to the forum Mothman and look forward to seeing you post your views. I would happily see Scott back, we need more options up front and maybe being back in an environment he knows could help him find his form again

Thats Scott Fox left the club. He was never really going to feature.

And that is a problem in itself. The clubs are only interested in themselves and the ratio of them producing players is imo low and the way the majority get treated is poor. A boy at 12 getting told he can't play with his pals is a ridiculous suggestion and boys and parents agree to it because they think they have too. Very few players now make it that haven't played pro youth and or been in performance schools so what I'm saying is let's have every school try and replicate what a performance school does. I'm also sure for family life that getting training and coaching and playing every day at your local school is more beneficial than travelling round trip 2 or 3 hours 3 or 4 times a week. There are loads of good players being missed or falling out of love with game at high school age due to lack of opportunities but as stated earlier in thread the number of scots in our top teams is ridiculously low so the chance for young Scots to fill those positions are there.
