Again I asked recently where are our younger gems plucked from the Championship or similar leagues ? It’s easier to source proven PL players , but I can’t imagine Silva would reject eg a Wharton, Lacroix or Munoz type . If we are going to lessen Silva’s input , then we Have to have those in place who can spot such talent ……. -- SW6.doc

In reply to: Henry1879 's message, "Why did BHA just spent 200+ in the summer and have all these options, because they brought young players, developed them then sold for profit. The khans put far more in financially to FFC than Bloom has at BHA, if we keep signing players like Anderson, cast, Berge, good solid, but won’t make profit, prem players then we won’t be looking up much. The real successful transfer market clubs (palace/BHA/ even forest now) are less manger led and more centralised to a long term strategy." on Sunday, March 09, 11:38:13am

It does appear to be a scouting issue. We very rarely unearth a top level gem and even when we invest in younger players like Muniz and ESR they're mediocre at best. We've had a few championship standouts like Sess and Fabio but the step up proved too much. (NT) -- Samuel, Sunday, March 09, 12:03:07pm (NoHost/81.78.226.36)
- Actions speack louder than words AND resigning of TC and Wills shows the dircetion of travel.............. I'll defend the buying of Older proven players uptil now ASS we were still rebuilding a PL side after yo-yoing. But this summer could show us what is the longer term plan. ASS we will by june have 5 spaces in our sqaud to fill. Will it be same again? or these younger talents? time will tell? we arent unhappy... the ARROW still points UPwards. I fear for the time TK gets full control though (NT) -- Danagerous Dan, Sunday, March 09, 12:15:32pm (NoHost/90.243.203.66)

- Muniz is not mediocre . I have said it before and I ‘ll say it again . He is deliberately playing half cocked to get a huge sign on deal with his next club . And this would / could not be happening without collusion at the highest levels . (NT) -- alanos, Monday, March 10, 03:15:18am (82-132-215-158.dab.02.net/82.132.215.158)
I agree, but this isn’t scouting issue, BHA do stats more than anyone, everyone knows about almost everyone now, it’s a question of is our strategy correct. We have signed, Robbo, tosin, palhina, tete, all absolute gems, but we moved away from that a bit, maybe the relegation has scarred us, but we had it right, last window we reverted to safety first. Minor tweaks which are easily changed though, let’s not forget we are in a great place to kick on with good signings this summer.
