"our disgraceful scouts/coaches didn't put him forward as a target."

Depends who you believe. There's been lots of talk that our scouting is fine, it's the people higher up making the decisions who've passed on players.

The right under our nose argument could also be applied to that young talented ajax side who we played in the Europa final a couple of seasons back,
Throw in the van de sar connection and it looks like we missed a trick on the the likes of de jong and de light

Our scouting system definitely needs looking at

We're not the only team to miss out on players. So I'm not too bothered about that.

I am bothered about the reported offer as it is for someone who isn't going to help us break into the top of the league (not top four). We need to look at players who either are going to improve our defence a lot now or those who have shown they will be top defenders in the future.

Hindsight.

If we signed every player that plays well against us we’d basically have Robb as our chief scout/DOF.

Nah. Robb's too busy acting like RDD on here

We did enquire about him though. We just decided against going in for him at the fee that Hull wanted.

Exactly who at the club identified him as a target I don’t know. But it seems a very strange one to have a go at the scouting network about.

Don't see why the whole scouting system shouldn't be looked at when other clubs including our rivals seem have been out doing us in bringing undiscovered and under the radar talent in to their clubs.

Whether its from not sourcing players or from a breakdown higher up the decision ladder we haven't been doing the business.

Maybe its all part of the dof debate
