1 Good thing came out from today. McManaman, is to sign for West Brom, meaning he won't be signing for us. But having said that, he can't be any worse than mcgeady I suppose. so maybe not a good thing, as in our current situation, he's probably the standard we can attact at the moment.

Does anyone else feel that we don't use the South American market as much. The last player I remember from that side of the world was Le Straq, and although he wasnt that good, he seemed to work hard. If you look at the talent that has come to the prem from those horizons, its a list of some big names.

Tevez
Aguero
Di Maria
Mascherano (spelling)
Paulinho
Willian
Oscar
Felipe Luiz

Theres so much potential there, and atm we've got Oviedo (and Alcaraz, but don't make me laugh), and that's it. Would like to see us increase our range for players in that region, and if that does happen, maybe we can get more fan based exposure also.

All been or are top players, except pauliniho, we would never have attracted any of them, moyes watched di maria for a while & quickly realised he was out of our league. Like he did with Hleb

The problem is getting work permits which means you have to buy established players which means there expensive the cheapest player on your list is who pauliniho at 18m

All these players were highly thought off, not so much hidden gems but cash cows to be marketed by South American teams they represented
