On the subject of scouts. Is there something wrong with our own scouting network. I don't mean about the scouts themselves as they have picked out a few local gems over the years, but the actual set-up.
Why is it Killie can find players like Taouil and get Pascali from Parma? Dundee Utd got Gomis and Swanson from Division 2 or 3 and have players like Sandaza and Zaluska.
Even St. Mirren managed to find Andy Dorman.
But it seems no matter who we have in charge , after they have been here a year or so we always end up looking at the same sort of players and almost always in Scotland and England. Even Sutton this year was a Malpas target last summer.
We always seem to end up with players like O'Brien, McLean, Smith who get released from the OF youth teams, granted some of these have been successful, or it's players leaving other SPL clubs or players who used to be in the SPL and struggled down south.
EDIT: I also note we could do much worse and be like Falkirk with signings like Lee Bullen, McNamara,McCann and Olijnek.
