1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 After seeing Beasley and more recently Edu - it's put me off the USA market for a while. I appreciate that makes me sound a bit ignorant.South Americans really need to go to somewhere else in Europe first to learn their trade and get them used to British football. I can't think of anyone who's came straight from South America to Britain and hit it off and British teams usually spend a fortune for the honour too.Africa is a good shout. Some of the boys from there have the hard working attitude and they are big and physical and well suited to the British game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the boys from there have the hard working attitude and they are big and physical and well suited to the British game.I agree. I was a bit dissapointed we didn't get the SA pair Khumalo and Mphela because i think they would've been suited to our league. But there are plenty more countries in africa that produce good talent aswell such as Ivory Coast (Drogba, Kalou, Toure Bros) Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon.

How am I ignoring markets with decent players at cheap prices? I'm not. I'm saying there's other factors you need to take into account. I said Africa would be my choice of scouting network.

lgr1991 303 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Not saying this is defo happening, but this is like the Liverpool takeover a bit, came from absolutely nowhere. Murray has his critics, but i think he showed first time with Ellis that he has the clubs best interests in mind with regards to new owners, if he thinks these people would be good enough for the club, thats good enough for me.

caseyjones 3,009 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Work permit problems can be overcome by purchasing a feeder club, Belgium would be my choice, where non-EU players can be placed until they gain a European passport. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
