Should we sign more players from the lower leagues?

    Do you seriously believe that? I would like to wager that other clubs are as good and have access to as much info as we do. I can't believe that some fans think we are way out in front when it comes to scouting players.

    It's not about simply finding good players....anyone could find the best players in each position. We are looking for players that suit us, have potential and come at the best price. What we are undeniably good at is turning players around, putting them on a larger stage and making good profits on them. Other teams do it, but not so frequently. This is part of our business model. Other teams could have bought Virgil, but didn't. Not saying we are the best as I don't know every team on the planet, but we are good at it and better than many of them.

    According to reports in the media, other clubs haven't had our sophisticated setup, although they are catching up.
