Why do other clubs scout all around the world for a marquee while we just seem to limit ourselves to the EPL?
Some of the best imports to come to the A League (who weren't even necessarily marquees) never played in the EPL.....Broich, Berisha, Hernandez, Janko, Carrusca, Patrick Zwaanzjik (sorry for the spelling) etc.
Either we get someone who is still in their prime or forget about it, very rarely has a marquee in their mid-30's been a success in the A League.
