It's criminal how far backwards we've gone in terms of scouting in the past decade.
Two good signings at £33m when we signed the likes of McAuley and Molumbu for peanuts.
Ajayi, Kipre, Molumby, Townsend are not bad signings for what we paid. O'Shea free?
It's all relative, when you're trying to establish yourself in the PL you can make these signings knowing if they come off each player will double in value. Southampton did it well for years.
Southampton's strength was their youth policy, Bale, Chambers, Walcott , Oxlaide-Chamberlain, Shaw, Ward-Proswe et al, together with the buying of up and coming young players
