Looks good and worth a punt at that money

Might not be the answer but we need to box clever in the transfer market. Focusing on the English Championship seems awfully myopic IMO.

I genuinely feel we need to widen our search for talent as the majority of the players we have been linked with are playing in the overpriced English Championship. 

 

For example, I was looking at this guy the other night. Frank Castañeda. He's a Coloumbian forward/winger who played in the CL for Sherrif a few years back. For some reason or another he's went from one free transfer to another. He now plays in Poland and 500k would probably secure him.

Getting players from the English Championship gives a better idea of their capabilities than other leagues

You have to wonder why he went from playing and scoring for a team that regularly played in Europe to the the Thai league but my point still stands. There are gems to unearthed out there.

Possibly but that comes with an inflated price IMO. I hate to use our nearest rivals as an example but from their transfer dealings over the last 2 seasons, I think they've only recruited two players from England.

Would be a great signing. Been on loan at Birmingham & is their POTY.

£2m sounds a bit on the cheap side though. Multiply that by at least 2 or maybe 3 or 4
