Those City scouts had zero impact at city IMO as its not hard to scout Yaya Toure, Augero and co.

[Mattshark]

You guys have no idea about our scouts really though do you.

Come on being a scout for Manchester city must have been the easiest job in football over the past few years.

I doubt it, they are not just out for big name players, they also sign young players as well as looking for players to fit their system.

Or you could argue harder as they have the money for anyone so opens up even more options. Still got to have the right work ethic, life off the pitch, fit in to the team etc. If it was all so easy there wouldn't be Carroll's, Torres, Shevchenko's etc.

You hate Torres that much you didn't pluralise him!

I agree though, Scouting for City will still be a difficult job, the only difference is they have a lot more money to spend. And judging by Javi Garcia, Rodwell and Sinclair they're doing a very average job.

They are good quality for back up players

[Gibbo]

Cost £35 million between them though. (Yes I know, Carroll )

*better* scouts (Like the ones at Newcastle and by the looks of it Swansea) would find them good quality back up players for cheaper.

Just because they have the money doesn't man they have to spend it.

[Chazza]

Loic Remy to Newcastle.

Potentially a decent signing.

[Gibbo]

Stagnated a bit at Marseille.

Good player though.

[Bender]

It now appears that the 26-year-old is on his way to Newcastle after an offer, reportedly in the region of €10million (£8.3m), was accepted by Marseille.
"We have an agreement with Newcastle for the transfer of Remy," Labrune is quoted by RMC. "Loic can negotiate with them."
Sky Sports understands Remy has been given permission to leave the team hotel where Marseille are staying ahead of Sunday evening's Ligue 1 game against Sochaux.

It is also the price of Downing and Henderson!

City will always have to pay a premium too, so that will cause some distortion to the cost too.
