Sorry, didn't even think about what I was doing then, Sorry.

Couldn't scout them ron as the board wouldn't let me send scouts to Brazil.

Like I said in real life, you still know people from the previous country so you'd ask their opinion (Perhaps a feature that needs implementing). I took the gamble on the basis that they were decent size clubs so there was a good chance the players were going to be decent.

One was the other wasn't.

Ah ok, but in LLM we don't sign players from where we can't tour or from where our board don't allow us to scout. Its a fundemental aspect of LLM.

Yes, but got crucified in the local derby against Romans. Looked to be out for the season, but was back on the training pitch 3 days later.

I don't think that this is as cut and dry as you are making out for the following reasons.

1. I've taken a gamble, as previously stated real life managers do this, the Swede that was in charge of England signed several players for Man City in the summer having never seen them play, as well as the Scottish bloke with the rosy cheeks, correct me if I'm wrong but the bloke currently under investigation for corruption once signed a bloke for Southampton based on the opinion of a former African legend, the said player joined Southampton came on as a sub before being substituted and being released to a much lower division.

2. I haven't used outside knowledge of the game to get the players.

3. I haven't used the player search.

4. With the lack of an option to ask a previous associate for their opinion on a player, I've based my gamble on the league that the team who are offering me the player are in, my opinion is that success rate of this would be similar to real life.

I really don't see what is unrealistic in taking a gamble on a player that has been offered to you? Perhaps this is a grey area, but the advice I've seen for previous grey areas is to think would a real life manager do this? My answer is that it is down to the individual manager as much in FM as it is in real life.

Maybe you should watch Mike Bassett: Manager, more specifically the episode where he signs the Dutch player, van Needlemans*.

*Note to those note familiar, this is a fictional player in a fictional TV sitcom.
