Check marketplace, there's plenty going free in various areas. Load of birch logs went in LE3 yesterday

Why would Man City want to overlook possible gems in the lower leagues because of preconceived ideas. Particularly as they need to sign and sell players to maintain some modicum of sticking to FFP. I would be more shocked if their extensive scouting network wasn't aware of them. Furthermore there are 12 clubs in the group playing at various different levels, all of which look for players.

Scouting systems scout everyone looking for particular attributes. I'm sure that all of those players will have shown up as having the correct ones for the style of play even if Man City have no intention of signing them.

I've assumed that about all of the signings since Maresca arrived. They have fitted too well with his style of play to think anything else.

It's going to be most not all 30mph roads hence the uproar.
