there ye go again with that common sense malarky.
Sorry Dude, I will try harder not to let it keep happening.

It was my one big hope with Rodgers' appointment that we would start looking at these kinds of players as he would have seen them whilst scouting for Swansea. Going to watch a player for which they were looking at a £1M-£3M fee but seeing these sorts of players that were beyond Swansea's budget but thinking to himself 'if only....' and making a mental note anyway.
For some reason there are quite few clubs lower down the league, with much smaller budgets, who seem able to pick up players that seem to pass beneath the radars of the more wealthy clubs, who prove themselves capable of playing for the top teams in the league as their transfers to them show.
Maybe we ought to stop thinking about paying double digit fees all the time and wasting our time scouting those sort of players and starting looking to find players which will have a single digit transfer fee who
we can turn into the star.
We need to find clubs in the Belgian, Dutch, German and French leagues to partner with where we can send our youngsters on loan.
Also with the introduction of the u21 Premier League we should have a facility to purchase younger players 16-19 and give them the chance to develop in what should hopefully be a more competitive level of football.
We should also be scouting the youth teams in Holland, Spain, Belguim, France and Germany and also the likes of the Segunda División in Spain, where the big teams' B teams play, and other countries that allows teams in the top division to have a B team in the second or third tier.
We may do all these things but when was the last time we paid a bargain price and found a real star? I guess you'd regard Agger or Arbeloa as the last time (though obviously Arbeloa didn't go for a huge sum due to us allowing him to return to Spain with a year left on his contract)
