Most of these are very junior, don't really get paid much more than their expenses and are watching lower league and youth football for academy prospects.

I'd be interested to know how you know that the scouts BHA employ are junior.
Plus, I was referring to the scouts BHA use as a whole rather than most of them.

By junior I mean not full time career specialists. Most are paid a few hundred quid a month, you referred to there being 300 of them as pointing to their importance in recruitment, I was just saying that few will be deployed in recruiting first team players.

Much as I agree, what is worse than all that, I may have to finally admit that Smug Eddie can coach a team

Smug Ed would probably be Englands most successful manager of recent times if he ever took the job. Gormless Garath is tactically inept and imo wasting the talent he has at his disposal, a golden era of players and unfortunately he picks favourites not for the good of the team and can’t read a game and make the correct changes at the right times.

There was a recent part time BHA scouting role for the Sutton area advertised on the club site pay £20k a year.

£20K or £20K pro rata?

Any updates?

 

[Bakero]

Any updates?

Not that I could find when I had a little look around Twitter earlier.

Calm before the storm?

 

[Farehamseagull]

Assuming the silence means City or he won’t go anywhere till January?

If we could get him though along with Baleba and Diaz that would be an incredible hat trick. Right back on top ideally and we have an amazing squad.

 

[Sheebo]

Any updates?

Well I was hoping there was as the thread bounce but it was just you asking if there was updates

Noone would go to Antwerp if the PL was calling, us, Citeh, Fulham or even Forrest.

Gaston Avila sounds like someone talking about Aston Villa as their false teeth are falling out...

Was released by his club this summer, might be in Saudi now, tiling Stevie G's roof.

Doing this on every thread won't make it more likely to happen

Very late and all, but if anyone's up he's playing against Racing in the Libertadores QFs right now, if anyone wants to watch what he's like
