French attacker Kroupi has been a sensation for the Cherries, netting 13 times this campaign, while Scott has established himself as one of the most gifted creative players in the Premier League."I totally understand why bigger clubs will be looking at their players because of their outstanding performances, particularly last season, though I guess Bournemouth fans will hate to hear this," Shearer told Betfair."We've said it many times and we'll say it again: their recruitment at Bournemouth has been off the charts, so it is no surprise some of their players are being linked with big football clubs."That's a great credit to them for the job they've done in getting those players there.
