Pretty sure we were UK focussed up to now as we would struggle to attract players who would quality for work permits. I suspect you are correct that we will have broader options now we are in the Champ. | | | |

Think Ashton said its limited as its difficult to get players that that qualify in L1 but that it would expand as tbe club progresses.
The Ashton Dashboard will have names though no doubt. |  |

I’m sure we are beavering away like a lot of cubs, using the knowledge of local guides in looking a ranger option [Post edited 8 May 2023 21:15]

Was thinking along those lines when I watched the highlights of the Celtic game yesterday, Postecoglou has really struck gold with his Japanese and Korean recruits. There is also the matter of gaining overseas support (as with Elkan Baggott) to consider. Seems win/win if players of sufficient standing in terms of international caps can be found at the right price. |  |

There’s a potential rule change coming in that will make overseas recruitment easier, also to bear in mind we’ll be generally shopping at a higher level so that may help also. I’d be pretty confident Ashton and the recruitment guys will be across all the opportunities. I’d be tempted to go easy on the overseas recruiting though…fundamentally our domestic recruiting has been very successful and it might be risky to bust that model too radically. | | | |

Have you got any other info on that as I haven't been able to find anything? I presume that they will need to add more recruitment staff if they want to branch out, but maybe that's an old fashioned way of thinking of it. Who knows, maybe we can unearth another Tommy Oar, Bálint Bajner or Pim Balkestein... | |

There were adverstising for a couple of technical recruitment analysts at the back end of last year that I guess must be filled now.
They'll use data and video to short list potential signings before someone has a look. | |

I can see why we bought Balkenstein, he wasn't the worst player we have ever had, and his old man was good enough to play for the national team. | | | |

Simple answer is I don’t have any further information!
I think with the likes of Pim and Brekke-Skaard et al there was a big element of paying peanuts and getting donkeys and now we don’t pay peanuts anymore who knows. | | | |

Yes yes, but Brexiteers are entitled to their own facts. |  | | |

With Mckenna's seemingly good knowledge of the youth players in the UK you'd expect him to be aware of good players in Europe too.
Its about time we found another gem from the Netherlands! | | | |

I actually felt a bit bad throwing him in there as I always had a soft spot for him and his name is incredible! I remember seeing him clear the ball with a low drive from his left foot and the ball hitting an advertising board like a bullet. The sound of that thing, oof.
Bajner is just a comedy figure, but that Tommy Oar transfer has always rubbed me the wrong way. Aussie who had spent five years in Holland yet miraculously felt homesick for the land down under the moment he set foot in England. He got to play at Old Trafford for us too! | |

You mean to say that we could have some Dutch wizards back in the team? |  | | |
