SydneyFC Posted 17 August 2006 Share Posted 17 August 2006 Surely not every single one... There's still some talent lying around waiting to be found, like that winger at Juve that got picked up by Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwell Pablo Posted 17 August 2006 Share Posted 17 August 2006 I'd be suprised if we can afford the plain fare to the soding Ivory Coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydneyFC Posted 17 August 2006 Share Posted 17 August 2006 Well if thats the case we can look around the lower leagues of the big 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shen Posted 17 August 2006 Share Posted 17 August 2006 He's this guy that plays for Melbourne in Aus, 18 and is ripping the team up there and a few teams have been looking at him. Preston and Coventry looked at him before but he turned them both down. Maybe we should be scouting around the Ivory Coast for the next up and coming kid. I'm sure you're not the first to have that idea... The Belgian, French and Dutch Leagues are filled with all sorts of Africans, and the Nordic Leagues (Sweden, Norway and Denmark) have picked up on this too and have been mass importing Africans and South Americans these last few years. Our best bet is to do what we've always done: Give young players that haven't made the grade or are surplus to requirements at big clubs a chance or scour the lower leagues for talent.

Isn't the reason for the french, dutch etc, having so many african players, is that the african countries in mention are ex colonies, therefore being able to gain citizenship and play in that country without all the work permit cr*p that exists in this country.

That has very much something to do with it, yes, hence why it's pretty much a forlorn battle to even start scouting in Africa ourselves. You have to remember that many clubs in said countries are surviving due to the sale of their African talents, so competition for the raw talents out there is very fierce.

This country can't do it because we can't get work permits for them very easily. I think they should do away with the work permit system for footballers, we could get some shit hot unknown Brazilian and Argentinians in then.

As an England fan I would rather the local talent get the chances personally. Would be abd for the future of the England side if there were less places available.

SydneyFC Posted 18 August 2006 Share Posted 18 August 2006 Well maybe we should put alot more money into scouting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 18 August 2006 Share Posted 18 August 2006 Well maybe we should put alot more money into scouting. Great idea! Let's put a load more money that we don't have in to scouting so that we can sign some good prospects, again with money we don't have, pay their wages with money we don't have and then terminate their contracts and pay them off because they're sh it with money we don't have. Seriously, I think with this pumping money in to things you've stumbled upon a great idea. If only someone in the club could get wind of this....
