other clubs always seem to hijack our high profile targets.

That's what agents are for, don't see how you can blame the scouting for other clubs hijacking deals :shock:

The scouting team only identify appropriate players and carry out relevant and necessary checks!

It's up to the club to then negotiate and get the players in!

We lost Sordell to a Premiership club and Brighton's owner obviously decided he didn't want to sell Noone to a fellow challenging Championship club!

Unless our club achieves Barcelona or Man Ure level status, we're always going to lose out on certain signings!

As 2blue has stated though, we've already brought in some exciting players and good prospects for the future!

Although some may wish we hadn't brought the likes of Kenny Miller to the club, it's been widely reported that we had a hell of a job getting him to choose us over Rangers!
