The only thing that worries me with the African players is them going for the ACN every couple of years. You could potentially loose your best players for a month mid season.

Thats true but I think if you are spending no more than 4-6mil on a player with relatively low wages, you could justify the expenditure and losing him for a month. Take Cheik Tiote for example- if we had bought him for 2-3 mil and he played week in week out and we had Spearing in reserve to play the month he's gone I think we could live with that

Valencia is a good player, he was always going to get better playing alongside world class players!

Unfortunately none of our Summer signings have looked like Premiership players, and if were honest, I think we all knew they weren't good enough when they were signed!

That is why you need excellent scouts if you want to have an advantage over your competitors. The statement above is a myth and should not be taken into consideration when signing players. If the club thinks the player is good enough and can help achieve something in the team then they will buy him. If we are going to go by your statement there will be a lot less talent playing in big teams. Finally there are many many examples of players that play for bigger clubs and still contribute on a consistent basis.

The 'mexican' league isn't full of rubbish players.......the premier league isn't full of quality players.
