A decent recruitment department should have a list of players that are achievable within our budget for each position particularly when or if Vik and Gus leave the building. Think it was Valencia who pioneered this brilliantly. Sell high, recruit low and not lose overall quality most of the time. Brentford seem pretty good at this since their Championship days and Brighton in the Prem. Works great until it doesn't. Southampton sold too many experienced players and signed too many inexperienced ones. More scouts always help and I would assume he knows some good players we may be able to tempt. On the downside, think Leicester will be able to outbid us if we are after the same players. Slight concern that we are adding to our staff at this juncture because we have been led to believe that a load of good players were already in the pipeline. Hope this is not an addition because we are not happy with progress so far.
