Big Vince 318 Posted July 3, 2018 How much value are we getting from recruitment team that was set up by the boy Webber?There was supposed to be someone looking at the UK market and someone looking at the Europe market. But apart from a few exceptions, it seems that the boy Farke is leading on most of the recruitment decisions, especially with all these German league signings.Why can''t we start thinking more outside the box by getting a scouting network set up in West Africa? There is loads of untapped potential there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul101 93 Posted July 3, 2018 ohh dear pig mince lets look at the last 5 signings Buendia ( Spain)Pukki ( Denmark)Leitnet ( Germany )Passlack ( Germany )Marhsall (England)I could be wrong but most of our signing are not from the the german leagues you are very much mistaken but then with your team signing players from the 4th tier of English football you are allowed to be confused Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Vince 318 Posted July 3, 2018 So Didier Drogba didn''t have a work permit right?Odion Ighalo?Ahmed Musa?Iwobi?Etobo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Vince 318 Posted July 3, 2018 Leitner - GermanyPasslack - GermanyZimmermann - GermanySrbeny - GermanyTrybull - GermanyFranke - GermanyStiepermann - GermanyNow that is a lot of Germanys and suggests our Europe recruitment guy is pretty much surplus to requirements. Pukki was chosen directly by the Board because of his price tag. Okay I will grant you Buendia (but I did allow for exceptions). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Vince 318 Posted July 3, 2018 Other clubs have thought it through and do have players from West Africa in their squads.As a football club Norwich City need to evolve, but Delia is stopping that from happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy cousins 9 Posted July 3, 2018 very much doubt Delia is behind us not buying from West Africa, more of a can''t work without a permit issue, but then never let a dose of rerality stop you from slagging off the club whatever they do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RustysRevenge 0 Posted July 3, 2018 [quote user="Big Vince"]So Didier Drogba didn''t have a work permit right?Odion Ighalo?Ahmed Musa?Iwobi?Etobo?[/quote]Apart from Iwobi as others have already said.Drogba grew up in France and played his football there before moving to Chelsea.Ighalo played in Europe for 7 years before movingly to Watford.Musa played in Europe 6 years before coming over.Etobo played in Europe 2 years before coming.All of the above players were full internationals before playing in England so hardly a representative selection of players unless by scouting West Africa you actually mean just picking a player out of a national squad which you really wouldn''t need a scouting network for.

River End Canary 18 Posted July 3, 2018 What is clear is the scouting dept is in utter disarray the quality of what we have signed is clearly lower championship standard at bestWhere is the Maddison/Wes replacement?

Someone must have sorted out their work visas to play in Europe. Where there is a will there is a way. But under the Suffolk Socialists the only will is for them to sell every player for the highest amount so that they can keep a grip on their ownership of the club. They would have neither the imagination nor the inclination to put Norwich City into the big, wide world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drogba was living in France from an early age and played all his youth football there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
