The bit I agree with the member on is that we are talking about resigning a couple of blokes who can't make the starting squad for the team that ran dead last. At the least the remaining 6/7 squad spots should be targeted at players much better than what we have.

We should also sign a coach better than what we had.

But again, that's on the CEO. He is employed to run the football club. Part of that is having a scouting network. If he doesn't have one, he's derelict in his duty if he ain't out there working on it.

Where to get these players from? I've stated before, some of the best talent we ever had came from 'unknown' 2nd and 3rd tier Asian players.

Are we looking there? I've just been over here and the quality on display is a damn sight better than the SANPL.
(And if the Internet is to be believed) the wages are more than comparable to what we are paying.

I'd just love to see our club, for once, not look in the other clubs rubbish bins for players and coaches.

But until it happens I'm convinced we'll sign yet another Sth American/Scano/Pom who once played for a club that you may have heard of who is past his prime in the hope it all changes.
As for where we getting our foreigners from

If we going Asian the talent is there

Some blokes in the Thai Premier League would kill it here and take nowhere near the money we wasting on the likes of Nordstrand Kokko and Brown. Skills wise they would have it over them as well.

Just need to assess their physical and mental aspects well

I know we more or less stuck going Chinese with the Chinese Lightsalesman overlord etc

But it be great to look at Koreans like LeakyG Song etc.


If we going European why do we only dabble in shit Scandanavian blokes or even worse Poms??

Surely some other **** in Spain plays football like Diego Castro??

Why we not trying to find him??

Surely some other bloke in Germany plays football like Thomas Broich??

Why we not looking there??

Surely some bloke in Italy can also play like Cannavaro??
Why we not looking for a defensive leader here instead of letting Boogaard give away pens every couple of weeks??

That's 3 of the strongest nations in world football and we ain't looking to recruit from there at all.

Vignaroli was no mug was he??

Yet for some reason we keep shopping at the shit warehouse
