Ive had the same problem playing in Portugal where clubs of similar or smaller size are always snapping up players young and old from Brazil when i cannot scout there.
I'm having a similar problem on my FM2007 game in Norway. I'm playing as Hammerfest, and having won 4 out of the last 5 titles, and being on the way to another, alongside some excellent results in Europe, it's fair to say I'm the biggest club in Norway at the moment, as well as having by far the best team.
I can only scout in Europe though, so really the other Norwegian sides should only be able to do the same. Instead though they're forever signing good young talents from South America and Africa whose attributes I can't see. There is no way they'd be capable of scouting there, and they don't offer trials, so how are they aware of these players abilities? Yet another flaw in the AI.

One other strange thing I have noticed while managing in Iceland is that all the Icelandic coaches or scouts I sign also have knowledge of Serbia!
There are a few nationalilites which seem to give knowledge of places you would not expect. A few people have commented on this in the dafgue challenge thread although I cannot remember the details at the moment.
Thanks for posting this - there is a database field that I can amend to help reduce the propensity of N Irish clubs to sign English players, in the nations part of the db,and I will advise the N Ireland HR Mark to look at it. That should have the effect to reduce the instances you have described.
As Gripper says, he flagged this issue up to me and it's hopefully been addressed now database wise.
Cheers for the info, wish more people took an interest in playing the irish leagues in FM - and give this sort of constructive feedback on them :thup:
With the popularity of the Gundo challenge soaring, and N.Ireland being one of the more popular choices, I think N.Ireland is fast becoming a "fashionable" choice. Maybe it's the "couple" of Cup competitions they have .
You might want to have a little glance in the Gundo thread every now and then. (It's basically the dafuge challenge with a team from a small nation rather than England and a number of people have got pretty far already with teams from N.Ireland.
The "islanders" appear on the player search screen because they have English as a 2nd nationality; apparently if you have a full bar of "England" knowledge every single player in the game with an English passport (an abstraction) will come up on the search screen.
