That's very true and it's for that same reason why I think we should not be targeting players in England.

Premier league is the league we sell to not buy from.

We should be taking some of the £80m we have in the bank and properly invest it in a proper scouting network so we never need to look to that * circus down there to buy or loan the players that don't deem good enough.

 

I agree. I don't mind the odd deal from England. But I do think Rodgers is a bit too transfixed on that market.

 

Yeah having no recruitment team and leaving transfers do him isn't ideal situation. Was fine under Ange bcoz he had knowledge of leagues and players many didn't and worked out well but it's an outdated way of doing business and for a club who's whole policy is developing untapped gems for big profits, not having a proper scouting network or a quality youth academy is mental

 

Or wolves thought Scottish football is * and eredivisie would be better for him. Still get Europe and plays against ajax psv etc

 

Sure I read somewhere Wolves wanted him to be guaranteed a certain number of games.

 

If I wanted to loan out a player to get experience I'd want them going to Feyrnoord ahead of us. 8 CL games, good chance of knockouts, plus Ajax, PSV, AZ and in general a better a league.

 

Doesn’t get to test himself against Darius Vassell though?

 

Lets get this deal done for Kinder

 

Transfixed is the wrong word.

Reliant is the obvious moniker.

We virtually, and quite literally, have no scouting set up, hence why successive managers have had to rely on their own knowledge.

From Lennon's waste paper list, to Ange's Japanese foray, right back to Rodgers scouring the English market... For second time.

If someone told me Nicholsen was on fifa sourcing players id actually be alot more confident, a * computer game has more real world resources to evaluate players than we do, ...us... An apparently CL team with a global fan base.

The state weve been reduced to is utterly unforgivable
