spudski Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 ....or have we assigned a Scout over there? I know KB has gone over there as well as Belgium an Holland...and we have someone looking down in Spain...I won't say who though. I've tried asking around to who the scout is in France...but no positive responses. Can we dream of becoming the next Arsenal and finding some gems there? That would be a positive in my book. As EMB has pointed out in the past...some raw talent out that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Glad we're seeing French players coming here and many more being rumoured. Strange we've had nothing from Spain that I can recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontariored Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 KB was there for his holidays. Perhaps he will go to Spain next year..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br1stolCityBoy Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I've been saying for a long time. Surely the scouting staff and SC have been talking to Kodjia and asking him about good footballers that he play against last season. It's not rocket science!

Phileas Fogg Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 It's our French scout doing the translation in the Kodjia interview I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Scouting for a retirement home once he gets sacked for being part of one of footballs biggest cock ups of all transfer windows (again!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Wolves just paid £350,00 for a polish midfielder from Legia Warsaw who scored twice on his debut…..Poland would be a great country to scout in for up and coming players at reasonable prices. Bristol has a sizeable Polish community, so it might even put a couple of hundred on the attendance. Maybe somebody should give Jacki a call and ask for some advice?

Im_over_ere Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Interestingly Angers Sco are 2nd in Ligue 1 and have only conceded 11 goals in 20 games. Maybe JK can suggest some of their defencemen or the goalie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the sum total of their efforts is the permanent signing of a well-known French striker and a '£50k punt' on someone already scouted by the big boys then it's clearly not working, or the board/management aren't prepared to listen to them.

Well known? I'd be amazed if 1 in 100 football fans in England had heard of Kodjia before he joined us. It's easy to be critical but if we sign this GK then that's 3 new signings from France in what, 6 months or so? Clearly our scouting efforts are in a better place than they have been previously.

I think there are a million and one reasons to slag the club off this season, but to moan about our overseas scouting - which has resulted in potentially three signings in six months - is odd. Especially since we can't sign players in England!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly to Palace and WBA, if you believe what you read in the press But why stop that allowing people to continue to slag the club off in an area that actually appears to be working.

Nice bit of Maxïmo Park as the backing track as well. Someone in the Media Team has some taste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
