Watching Melbourne City v Adelaide and thinking that with some money clearly washing around in that league the quality of football is improving and there are some talents worth looking at both in terms of journeymen with good experience and young players with potential.
Which makes it slightly surprising for me, especially given our owner's links down under, that we haven't dipped our toes in to this and other wider world markets.
We have had success in the past and know that players from Oz adapt well so does our current scouting network extend that far or are we limited, even parochial, in our outlook? Certainly looking at youngsters for the DS (Iceland aside) we seem to have limited spread in our recruitment which given the investment is maybe surprising.
