What did the amazing scouts Damien had in Spain, Italy and Argentina ever turn up for us?
Fair point, but it's not just about a top scouting network alone. The club hierarchy and management have to work in tandem. Your scouting network could spot dozens of potential signings, but if the club aren't willing to pull the trigger on them or the scouting system is not working in order to benefit the current manager it's all a bit redundant.
To be honest it wouldn't surprise me if its true. I've long wondered how other clubs such as likes of Wigan can bring decent quality players to the PL, but we seem to only go for the obvious signings ( a lot of which we are either priced out of or are totally unsuitable for the squads needs).
