No-one is suggesting using Wikipedia so don't be facetious (knew the consensus wouldn't last and was too good to be true)
This takes time for sure, things should have been set in motion from 5pm on the 8th April. Its now 17th August, over four months that could have been spent getting things up and running. Yes it costs money but we were promised game changing investment, I can understand not wanting to blow huge fees on players but this set up is a no brainer.
We should have a good working knowledge of other leagues. How were Brentford able to sign Maupay?
I was merely commenting on another post on this thread, saying a players stats on wiki were available so why didn't we sign him?
As for Brentford, don't know but Matthew Benham is a stats obsessive working much like Balham Blade was outlining above. How their scouting system works I'm not sure, but someone there has a good knowledge of the leagues in Europe and Benham has ownership of a club in Denmark, which sounds a bit McCabe-esque.
