gdm Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Bests replacement? Why do people suddenly believe that we are signing loads of players. It's far more than likely this is the alternative to Remy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Bests replacement? Why do people suddenly believe that we are signing loads of players. It's far more than likely this is the alternative to Remy Well it's a striker, and we need a striker. Think it's optimistic to think we'll sign two.

KaKa Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Just read that the 750,000 Euros is the price of the remainder of his contract with Bordeaux, which at least gives some context. MA so adverse to paying anything for someone who will be free in the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I won't complain about signing players for good prices, but it is a bit disappointing if the scope of our successful scouting system is limited to just France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Pretty sure we're clued up on Belgium and Germany too,just France seems to represent the best value for money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The scope is value and will only change when the main source of the value changes. I think we probably all know that. £15m for Zaha tells you that it's not England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Pretty sure we're clued up on Belgium and Germany too When did we last get a player from Belgium, unless I'm forgetting somebody obvious? We seem to scout Holland as well, but there is not much attacking talent available at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I don't think we're just French based, I think we regularly look at Belgium, Germany and Holland too. I just think Ligue 1 players really suit our current circumstances, in terms of price, ability, wages etc. I'd like us to start broadening it to Italy and Spain, as well as South America in the summer however.

Tooj Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I wonder how many "unofficial" scouts we same to have, as all you ever hear is that we have Carr and Wooster on the books. Hopefully behind the scenes we're building an extensive scouting network that covers a multitude of countries. We really need to scout South America too. Was very disappointing to here Carr say we don't due to adaptability issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Also, we seem to be quite well respected in France, whereas our reputation in Holland is still somewhat that of a place where good players go to die. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we end up signing all of Gouffran, Mbiwa, and Sissoko, it is even reasonable to expect that English be the primary language on the training ground anymore?
