    If not we could do with one full time, having Davey pick strikers when it would seem he's only able to spot a good one in 10 will mean a repaet of last season. A powder puff attack.

    He'd pick a better striker as well.

    If you sent Davey back in time to orgreave 84/85 and asked him to pick a striker he'd come back with a cop in riot gear and a very young Kayode Odejaye.

    Under AR we used an independant agency who have a scouting network. Reading an article on them we signed Steven Watt that way on loan, clubs speak to this agency for a position they need, the agency provide recent reports (mainly from prem reserve games) of recent games they have attended and players they have watched at a fee. The scouts themselves are ex players, manager, coaches.

    Apparently the majority of the lower leagues use this system!?!? Anyone heard of this before?

    Should we all become Cheltenham fans and advise him to buy back Odejayi.

    Yes

    It's Simon Davey.

    Contacts he has worldwide tell him about players that are performing well, and want to play in England. He then has videos sent, and if it's worthwhile he goes to watch them in a live game.

    Big money spent on Hume, looked like money well spent until Morgan got involved, and who'd have thought Misfud would have proved so utterley useless?

    Rigters is a talented footballer, and should have been an excellent signing. Is it Simon Davey's fault the kid has a 'couldn't give a ****' attitude because he's on 35k a week at Blackburn for another two years? Maybe, maybe not.

    He scored a few crackers

    Took a decent corner, something we've been lacking for years.

    Always gave 100% too.

    I'd say he was worth it.

    This day and age

    He was decent value, no more, no less.

    But you don't get much for £1.2m these days on the striker front... when I say that, I'm suggesting that Hume was a pretty good signing, not that he 'isn't much'.

    Course he did. £1.2m is a lot to us but in the striker market it isn't massive money. He looked like he had that bit of quality to me. Good touch and could strike a ball well. worth £1.2m from what I have seen of him in a red shirt and before.
