I think you summed it up perfectly. If you compare the signings Burke has been involved in whilst Gus was here, to those he has brought in under Oscar, my view is, those brought in under Oscar just do not compare

Or again was this a Gus requirement.

Crofts had been a Brighton player before he came here.

For me his best signing's have been Kuszczak, Orlandi and Ward the rest for me have been nothing special.

Yes he does, but I believe he has never been the top man at a club before though and he has spent most of his time dealing with youth from 15 -21.

They really have done well and the man responsible for all their talent over the last seven years was this guy and the FA have just snapped him up. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/crocker-set-for-top-fa-role-921953.aspx But the key man at Southampton who was Head of Football Development...

No he wasn't this was his position: Scouting & Recruitment Department Manager Southampton Football Club June 2010 – December 2011 (1 year 7 months) Saints Training Ground. Football Development Support Centre, Marchwood

OK you are guessing they are. I am saying I don't know. Did I not make myself clear?

Then I would think they would soon be found out in the interview and shown the door pretty quickly I would think.

I did not state they were or not you did and I still don't. But you seem to know they are so just asking like, how do you know?

He certainly takes his time in giving them a full game, after choosing Lita from the short list how many full games did he play?

Well I don't know about you, but every time I went for a job interview. I made sure I had researched the company to the best of my knowledge.

I am not trying to put Oscar down, but if a club has contacted you maybe a couple of weeks prior to an interview(his name was in the frame before Gus went) to see if you were interested in the job, I would think most professional managers/coaches would have taken an in depth look at the players...

We all assumed that was the reason, but from signings we have seen since his arrival, I am not seeing any evidence of that. I would also ask when players are supposed to be cheaper from abroad why are we not trying to sign more from abroad.

As I understand the system Oscar can select from a short list supplied by David Burke, have any Spanish players appeared on a Burke short list? I think things worked slightly different when Gus was here.
