Just to add a bit of perspective that seems to be sorely lacking in some:
There are top flight clubs in Europe who have scouting networks, direct contracts with OPTA and other stat companies, managers with decades of contacts with clubs and personnel in football. And their success rates aren't that high either.
What makes everyone think that a rookie coach and a part time CEO at a club without an owner in a salary capped league can accomplish transfer miracles? You hedge your bets, try to make the best decision on all the available information and hope that it works out.
