You'll be searching lower league for players. Who can you afford Messi?

That you do. British players are over rated and you'll pay over the price. We bought Ulloa in January for £2 million and has scored 10 goals in 13 games. If we had him from the beginning we'd have won the league. Prem clubs are sniffing around already but they'll have to pay £10 million plus for him as he's on a 5 year contract.

The problem you have is your manager. Gus and his team speak Spanish so can bring these kind of players in, Spanish Dave, Vicente, Ulloa and others don't speak our lingo but are happy here because we have English/Spanish speaking people who can fit them in.

Your manager will find it hard to bring in any top player from abroad unless you spend massive like QPR. You haven't the scouting network like us.

Really hope you do well and hope you don't sign players because they are in the premiership and their bloated pay.

We've got Cardiff City scouts in South America as we speak and across Europe...

You'll probably buy QPR rejects but hope you don't. South America? get real mate. Your manager is looking right now at the bottom prem league team players who are not fit for purpose.

We got Kim Bo Kyung for 2 million from abroad and what a signing he has proved to be! You sound pretty jealous...

Rickie Lambert is from League 1 as is Matthew Lowton. :lol:
Lower leagues have gems. Tricky, pacey players with skills perform better in the Prem due to more time on the ball.

I do agree we need to look abroad though

Our scouts have actually been in Holland and France scouting players for the last few months of the season. We will not pay over the odds for average British players. We brought in Kim who in my opinion will become a 20 million plus player in the future. I know that's a bold statement, but I think he will become that good! We have also brought in French, Slovakian and Slovenian players since Malky Mackay took over. We will be raiding the foreign market for cheaper players who are better than the overpriced players in this country and as already said, we are now scouting further afield in South America. This is just the start as with Premiership football, we will now have the extra funding to scout even further.

That what I tried to say in my above post about you searching for lower league players. Norwich bought Elliot Bennet of us when we was in div 1 and he's now part of Norwich first team. There are bargains to be had in the lower divisions but the manger needs to be bold unlike Mark Donkey Hughes who spunked money up the wall in signing muppets like Barton.

If we can pick someone like Lawton up for RB it would be perfect. Just the type of player we need.

The days of spending stupid money over rated players with stupid wages are gone and i think VT and MM realise this, its the best way to bankrupt your club. QPR is just a shambles cant see any1 else repeating that, except for maybr QPR again lol
