GS: Scott Lucas (Luke Mably) Galatasaray Rep (Tamer Hassan) Hope Parker (Olivia Sofie
Newman) After he scores
the winning goal for Chelsea, Phil watches as Scott gives a post-match
interview and how it feels good to come back to the Lair, which prompts him
to tell Patrick he wants Scott
back at Harchester. Patrick tells him the only way they can get the money is
to sell someone in the team. Jacqui is back on
track with Phil, and looking forward to the last £2M of their money going on
a villa in the sun. Phil is informed Scott will cost £8M and knows there's
only one option to go - Monday. It is Nikki’s 23rd birthday
and she thinks Sandra and Zoe have
remembered, but they think the most important thing about today is the new team
photo arriving. Jeff brings his
client Scott to meet Phil. Nikki confides in Monday that she doesn't want to
be at the club as everything reminds her of the crash, and she has no friends
anymore because nobody remembered her birthday. Monday tells her he will take
her out tonight for a birthday drink. Monday is annoyed about the plans to
sell him, and Patrick smoothes things by adding they will get the most money
for him. As he makes up his mind about signing, Scott pays visits to the
lads, before long having him training with them, and Tash, missing out
on seeing Jamie but meeting Hope. It isn't long
before Monday arrives wanting to tell Tash about the club selling him, but
the sight of Scott gives him his answer. Nikki waits for
Monday in the Blue Room when Curtis arrives with
the lads. Soon Nikki is quite drunk on her champagne with Marcel, Stuart and Curtis,
and when Monday arrives she is having too much fun to leave with him. Curtis
takes Nikki home and up to her room, but she cries that she misses Stevie and
doesn't want to be left alone, kissing Curtis. Monday meets with the
Galatasaray representatives and is offered an impressive deal. He is shown
his new shirt, and will even keep his No.8 before the Rep requests a photo of
him in it. Nikki takes out her remorse for sleeping with Curtis on Monday,
which Monday then sets Curtis straight on, realising his brother abused
Nikki, knowing he’d also beat up his wife. At training,
Patrick instructs Stuart to play Scott deep instead of his preferred position
up front, which leads to Scott walking out of training. Just as he wanted,
Scott turns up in Patrick's office, where he thought Phil had sorted out the
position he wanted. Patrick retorts Mr. Wallis may buy the players but he
doesn't manage them, and Scott's attitude is the problem. Scott storms out of
the club... and Harchester. Stuart susses that Patrick didn't want Scott in
the first place, which he concedes they have three top strikers anyway.
Monday gets to the heart of the matter with Curtis, on how he double-crossed
him over signing last season. Curtis explains he could never play with Linton
as how destructive he was, and he backing out was the last time he saw his
brother who he wishes wasn't dead despite everything he did. Monday and
Curtis clear the air. Patrick covers
his back by telling Phil they can only hope Monday hasn't signed for
Galatasaray yet. Phil persuades Monday to stay, but it all changes when the
photo of him in the Galatasaray shirt is printed in the paper. Monday angrily
confronts Phil saying he is now like Paul Ince when at West Ham in a Man Utd
shirt, and the fans will crucify him. Patrick thanks Hankin for his work with
the Monday photograph. Jeff thinks he's found the solution to everything with
Roberto Mendoza at Monday gets a
surprise when the team and staff arrange goodbye drinks for him in the
players' lounge, and Patrick makes a speech on Monday's contribution to the
club over his two seasons. Monday and Tash have a goodbye hug. Patrick's
scheming is dealt a blow when he hears they've got Notes: Last appearance
