Spotting talent is one thing.... But lure? Surely we still have pulling power to any player in the championship who wants an opportunity to play in the prem? Lure?

Sterling and Gomez both went to the rs from lower leagues. I suppose it's convincing players like that to join us instead.

so isn't this what Brands does? spotting talent and signing them?

It is, but Marcel Brands doesnt have extensive knowledge of every league around the world - hence why he'd offer opportunities to those with the knowledge to help assist.

that's what scouts are for?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Fair enough

If he finds us a few hidden gems then he's justified his salary

Sounds like that's what the role is.

"Lure" - sound's a bit yewtree tbh.

 

[Pabbers]

Apparently played for Bolton. I don't remember him and had to google him, Nothing special although some may remember this (from his wiki page)
"However, in a 2–0 loss against Everton on 20 March 2010, he was sent–off in the 70th minutes for a professional foul on Yakubu "

Eh ??

He cost them £5 million and played well over 100 prem games. He was very good for them.

 

[Connor]

God he was awful in that game.

Absolute yard dog.
