When We Had A Scouting System...
We'd go out and (OK, I'm going back a wee while here) and get the good youngsters (Kevin Reeves, Roger Gibbins, Steve Bruce, Dave Watson, Mike Phelan et al) and they'd bring quality to the team, not only that, but in many cases, be a good investment. Gibbins is the odd one out in that small selection, but even so, we got him out of nowhere, he immediately came in and starting scoring goals!
Either that or we'd really do our work and come up with surprising but hellishly effective signings, David Williams was one, "you what" we said, a 34 year old from Bristol Rovers, but what a signing he turned out to be!
And failing either of those, we got the kids in the team and gave them a chance-many took it (O'Neill, Bellers, Eadie, Louie, Dale Gordon, Fash) now, however, its Greeno, Shack and, er, thats it-or thats how it seems!
We could scout and sign up the promising young players throughout England AND Scotland who are looking to move onwards and upwards, we could start to give the younger players a chance...or we could have a headline in the "Pink Un" that gets all excited about us "just failing" to get a 31 year old centre half who can't get a game anywhere else, on loan, from Fulham!
FFS!
