We need to look further away, East; Eastern Europe and get someone from there who may come here as a stepping stone to the Premier League? I'm not going to even guess how much it would actually be, but I'm sure the cost of having any kind of scouting network outside of the UK is far more expensive than most League One clubs could afford. Tbh I think our best purchases have been young, hungry talent either from the lower leagues or players who have been released/transfer listed from clubs higher up looking to prove a point. Most of it is done electronically these days. Traditional scouting is only used pre negotiations. A lot was said about this at the time we signed Jordi Van Shotstopper

A lot was said about this at the time we signed Jordi Van Shotstopper I would still imagine he would have been seen by someone atleast 2 or 3 times. Flights, travel expenses, food, hotel etc I can imagine still costs a fair bit, and that's just based on just 1 player.

Well if he does move on the club would need to bring in at least a loan player to cover left back/wing back as it would be risky to say the least to have only one left back/wing back at the club.

All I'm saying is the lad ain't going to be in the managers future plans so that's one who looks a cert to leave

Interesting point. Now, I have no idea, but on the surface, would it really have to be more expensive? If you factored in match tickets, hotels and expenses, a month scouting in Ukraine, for example, would probably be cheaper than a month in London... Just thinking out loud and I can only imagine the infrastructure I'm not considering like translators, lawyers versed in foreign markets etc..
