    well bruce is known for having scouting s.americans then changed to africans,

    but i'm interested in why our s.americans seem to fail,

    take man utd. for example.

    valencia-ecuador,
    hernandez- mexican,
    anderson-brazil,
    fabio-brazil,
    rafael-brazil,

    all seem to adapt well, and prove themselves on the big stage.

    then we ourselves get, riveros, angeleri, and he had da-silva, but none of them have made any kind of impact.

    we see these lads on tv, playing for countries, playing in world cups, but they land at safc. and it goes tits up.

    we say it takes time to adapt, fitness levels etc. same bullshit we use with the africans, but why can man. utd etc get the best out of these lads, yet safc always seem to fail, with the exeption of arca?

    Maybe it's got something to do with the fact that we got 2 Paraguayans in the mix. There's only 1 that has ever achieved anything in the PL and ehrm... neither of our two were him! I'm going with the Bruce losing the plot angle.
