Hey...

Currently have loads of leagues running, and in the BSP, with the board saying that i can only scount 'england' which is pants.

Basically, have hired a scout with tonnes of Belgium knowledge, and loads of Belgian players have appeared.

For obvious reasons, i cant see any of their stats, which is fair enough because the attribute masking is cool.

BUT, how do i go about telling if any of these people are any good? Theres like over 100 of them!

Thanks in advance...

Since when did the likes of Oxford United send their scouts to Belgium? They'd be lucky to venture into Scotland.

For such a small club this would never happen.

Well since you cant scout them I think trials is the only way.

I know that wont work on contracted players though but it is the only way I can think of.

Ive just qualified for the playoffs, and got 400k in the bank now (Redditch United) You think that the board will loosen up and pay for the 50 eurostar over there? Especially if i go up?

Tried trialling them, just theres so many of them!

Your board won't allow you to scout Europe until you are in the Championship, the rest of the world when you are in the Premier League. UK and Ireland can be scouted as soon as you turn professional (i.e. promoted to League 2 if you start semi-pro).

It's not really a case of just buying a eurostar ticket. The scout has to eat, and sleep somewhere along with other expenses and it all adds up. Scouting Europe can cost tens of thousands plus a year per scout.

The clubs normally reject....

Also like i said i dont really want to trial over 100 players.

Can i just try and sign them, and trust my ass man, is that what risk taking is all about?
