Business as usual for Scott as Europa League holds up Silva move
· Yahoo Sports
Good morning from Austria, where Bournemouth are a couple of days into a 10-day pre-season training camp with new manager Marco Rose.
I'll be out here until Saturday interviewing the players and the coaching staff, as well as taking in the fixture against St Pauli on Friday, where we will get a first look at Rose's playing style and new signing Alvaro Rodriguez.

The latest news from Saalfelden is that Bournemouth remain in advanced talks with Benfica over a deal worth 25m euros (£21.3m), plus add-ons, for 22-year-old centre-back Antonio Silva.
The Cherries are confident the deal will get done, but Benfica's Europa League qualifier against St Gallen is complicating things.
Silva looks set to play in Thursday's first leg - and the Portuguese side would like him to feature in the second leg next week too.
It is important to point out that he wouldn't be cup tied for Bournemouth's Europa League campaign, though, with qualifying treated differently.
Elsewhere, it is business as usual for Alex Scott. He is here and training hard with the squad.
Bournemouth's stance remains that he is not for sale, despite already receiving enquiries from six different clubs this summer. Five of those sides are in the Premier League, while it is understood a top European club has also made contact with the Cherries.
