Off-topic: Sorry for double posting(a little bit lower to this thread), explorer crashed right when i pushed the "Post now" button. Had to reboot, and my post hadn't appeared when i logged in here again.
On-topic(Hopefully

): I 'll try and guess which are the "realistic" ways someone can find players in Cm03-04. That seems to be the big issue now,and not the procedure to sign them, once found.
1) Send scout on youth players, obviously. results appear to be very few, and among them some odd nationalities appear. I don't take notice of the last ones.
2) Play friendlies against both Non-league and League teams. If something promising appears, i would scout the findings again, and not trust my own eyes.
Now moving on to treacherous area:
3) Use the interested screen, in the way that Taipan mentioned above.
4) Scout possible "good relationships" of newer signings. I think it's like asking the player: "Any other carp in your last team?"
5) In my desperation, I 've also used the "star system" in other league teams. That is, the key players of the other teams. Thankfully (before you bash my head in

), i've found that those players are the best performers week in week out, as they seem to change quite often. So, it's like using the AvR screens.
6) The players mentioned in the AvR, Appearances, Goals, and Assists screens in the league stats.
Hope I didn't leave anything importatnt out. I do know that half those ways are by no means justified in a CM3 game. I 'm talking about CM03-04.
