Scouting Network

I know the running joke is that Calderwood scrapped the scouting network at Pittodrie to take it all on between the 2 Jimmys and Sandy Clark. Is this actually true?

 

Reason I ask is that over the last few seasons there have been a number of lower league players in Scotland snapped up by other teams but never by AFC.

 

Rankin and Cowie- ICT

Grainger/Buaben/Gomis/Swanson/Conway- United

Frazer Wright/Willie Gibson/ Koudou- Killie

Templeman- Hearts

 

A lot of these players could have been brought in cheaply and could have either improved the side or been good squad players. Surely the club could inverst some of the cash they have been making back into a few scouts??

If we had a scouting system coming up with dross like that there would be plenty of people complaining. I honestly don't think any of them would be much use at Pittodrie.

Gomis and Conway were superb last night. Lower league players are not good enough for the mighty AFC though

On the few occassions I've seen Gomis I've thought he was excellent.

I've been waiting on this since last night. Doh! But still, they don't have to be world beaters to have looked good against that pile of shite we put up as a performance.

 

I still maintain that if our players played to their potential then none of that lot initially mentioned would get into our side.
