Problem is. even if we find one. He will never get a work permit. we will have to park him at some Spanish club for at least 3 years. Bullshit Home office rules.Originally Posted by fakeyank

Make 2mrw better than 2day
I was impressed by how City and Liverpool found their strikers in the back water leagues of Spain and Holland. Forlan worked out well too I remember.

We seem incapable of finding a decent striker, whether it be through the youth project or through signings, loads of other clubs seem to do alright, honestly don't know what our scouts do.
Yeah, as Global said we're unlikely to get a work permit from anyone on that side of the globe. Lord knows how we got Denilson through.
But I've seen a couple pf posters turn their nose up at the Dutch league even though that's where Liverpool got Suarez from. It's not as if we have a bad record there either when it comes to our players. Not sure how Dortmund find their players but we certainly need to take a risk like most other clubs have.
If we got a work permit for Denilson, considering his lack of talent I don't see why we can't get one for someone with clearly more ability, because Denilson had achieved nothing when we signed him.
Agree about the Dutch league too, plenty of players have come from there and done very well, it's one of the leagues where you have more chance of getting someone decent IMO if you're looking for potential.
Dortmund, Southampton, Athletico etc etc these clubs seem to find top players when we struggle despite our huge resources, yes I know other top clubs don't find that many either but they are willing to pay the going rate whereas we're not.
Never said that they (City and Pool) found those players there, unless you are reading something I didnt write. Didnt know we only had to follow the example of English teams when signing players either. Probably a new rule I havent read or heard about..
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
I think we've been blacklisted after that Denilson swindle.They made us jump through hoops to get Campbell, Vela and Ryo here.
We are between the top clubs and the other clubs you mentioned- Athletico, Soton etc. We are again neither here nor there.. we dont buy top players like the top teams nor unearth gems like the above avg ones. We just exist..

And yet Wenger can get us second. He's a genius!
How do you get a work permit? A good lawyer helps.
Most South Americans turn up at mid to lower clubs in Spain or mid to top sides in Holland and Portugal. They do their initiation one or two seasons to get their papers sorted and boom they become available, but even then we are always last off the mark if at all we are interested.
Regards the scouts, yes they are shit but Wenget has the power to revamp that whole department but he never does, so they must be meeting his expectations or they file reports on top talent only to be overruled by the overlords opinion of talent and value.
Either way we are screwed, and that's the good bit because all expectation has been sucked out of us too. In fact we are not grateful enough for what we have, fucking fickle fans.
