We already have gr8 network in south America and IIRC we have many gr8 academies out there. but with FIFA on our backs we can't get players from South America or any other countries who are under the age of 18.once prospects reach that age agents and tons of other clubs will by trying to get every prospect there. obviously we should always look for all options and there is a bargain but we should also understand it is difficult thing to do.
I won't mind getting a football Yao Ming in our team.our revenue will increase with it surely
Nothing stops us to set up affiliate clubs and get those talents there before they turn 18.
And I don't agree we have great scouting network anywhere, least of all in South America. Our track record of bringing players straight from there speaks for itself.
