    Here's a bit of worldwide Google/YouTube scouting from Jerel. Let's start with...

    DENMARK

    Nicklas Helenius - broke into the Aalborg team with four goal in four games in 2010, was left out of the team last season, but has come back with a vengeance this time round, scoring 13 goals in 29 starts. 6'5 and the national team are starting to take notice. AaB only finished seventh last season and are low on cash, so an ambitious Championship club would be able to lure him away for less than a million, most probably.

    More to follow. Give me a country and I'll try find a decent player there that Leeds could sign, just so we can get our hopes up and watch them get crushed when we sign Michael Doyle. And definitely add your own, especially if you're an international scouting talent like Boab.

    Michael Doyle we should be so lucky.... <doh>

    But if I was going for a hidden talent I would be trying to convince Man City to loan us John Guidetti. I am not a big loan market fan but this kid looks the finished article already...

    FFS, I'll try do these one at a time! <laugh>

    SAUDI ARABIA

    The obvious choice would be Nasser Al-Shamrani, the Saudi PL's most prolific and consistent striker. He's rumoured to be on about 8-9k a week, and Anderlecht managed to tempt Al Hilal's captain Osama Mawsawi away shows how much even the most valued Saudi players want a shot in Europe. Which leads me on to...

    Mohammad Al-Shalhoub, vice-captain of Saudi Arabia's biggest club Al Hilal, and a tricky winger with a record of about one goal every three games. He's been the Pro League's top scorer in 2010-11, won numerous Asian continental trophies, and was awarded third place in Best Asian Player in 2006. 31 years old, but he has aged well like a fine wine ( :bandit: I've never seen the bloke play, but still, let's pretend he has).

    Now that one's easy. I know of a lad called Penn Gwynne who's a big presence in the box. Not as pacy as you might hope, but has a great sense of balance and excellent at sitting on the egg... sorry, retaining the ball.

    And Thailand, Cosmic? I'll leave them for Leicester!

    Sorry mate, all English players and their agents are on their holidays, being distracted by Euro 2012, demanding wages that are too high, want to stay in the South for family reasons, are already weighing up their options or want contracts that are too short/long/medium in length. It's an impossible task.

    I'm going to have to ask you to find me a player from Oman. (and Al-Habsi is not allowed!)

    Sorry to usurp Jerel's role here, but for a combo of the two, I'd suggest Patrick Sullivan. Plays right-back, does the job well, but is probably most famous for this goal.

    [video=youtube;hbMWQXmMkyw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbMWQXmMkyw[/video]

    He's currently travelling in Australia and plays for some arse-end of nowhere club. He'd be cheap, has big game experience and would be better than Connolly
