Subject: There aren’t any ‘secret’ players now, mainly as nearly everyone follows a data driven approach. Its not we don’t know about these players, its they don’t fit with our current strategy, which is my (small) gripe, we could be more ambitious and forward thinking. We’ve shown with Robbo, tosin, palhina etc we are happy to look outside what we do now, I’d just like us to pivot a bit more towards those types rather than what our strategy targets now.
In reply to: MWKent 's message, "Good question, do we have any creditable scouts? it seems not. Is Talbot &Son still on the books? if so they aren't doing their job properly. Palace aren't afraid to sign players from the Championship, Eze, Olise , Hughes and the guy bought this t/w from Millwall. If they can find the talent why can't we.? I'm sure they have the same money restrictions as we do, but we are still suffering from the incompetent business of our earlier promotions, which has been a millstone around our necks." on Monday, February 24, 03:44:54pm

  • The last press releases from our club, 2017, announced Talbot senior was appointed chief scout and assistant DOF. Following That elevation he employed his son in the role of Senior European Scout. 7 or 8 years later what are they doing now? Indeed what have they ever done….

  • We don't know. They could be crucial recruiters, no longer at the club or people who provide scouting assessments for others. My gut feeling has always been that we sign the players we CAN and often that's an agent ( sorry intermediary) led process. We're told someone is gettable and would come and then Marco and TK decide yes or no. Those intermediaries will have been informed of the type of player we think we need. Just my guess - could be bollox. (NT) -- The Man With No Name, Monday, February 24, 04:36:00pm (238.75.189.80.dyn.plus.net/80.189.75.238)
