Whilst bruce has has his scouts around the world, what next?

We have searched S. America and not been so lucky,

We have searched Africa, with a somewhat better bit of luck, uncovered gyan

Surely an up and coming club should be having a look at asia, for several reasons.

1. With the emergence of countries like S Korea and Japan on the world stage, there is an abundance of good players.

Park Ji-Sung being a prime example, then there's Chung Yong Lee at bolton.

Also this could help a club like safc to get a foothold in what is a huge market,

Why is it man u. liverpool etc, play friendlies around the region?

The financial gains are massive... and there must be some decent talent there somewhere....
 
For the commercial advantage alone we surely must look at this, you're spot on.

A Chinese, Japanese, or Korean opens up the club to some of the most fanatical and obsessive people on the planet.

There's some genuinely top drawer players as well, Keisuke Honda being the obvious, left footed and has said he wants to come to England.

Phenomenal in the World Cup.
 
Not sure about Asians, but after the relative success of Elmo & that partnership thing we signed with the Egyptian club. I wouldn't be surprised if Bruce signed another Egyptian.

We have been linked with Geddo before who is a superior player to Elmo, theres also Zidan although I doubt he would leave Dortmund. And if he did they would want a fair bi cash.

Not a great fan of Zidan mind, he's sort of 'ok' at everything, and not great at anything.

Not big or physical, and not perticularly quick, and an average finisher.

Christ, i was a bit harsh there mind.

He's better than me (at football).

but more so for the south east asians, that is a huge huge market, and some pretty decent players..
