Can anyone remember the best and worst signing that we have made after the player being scouted via Video links?

I don't think this has happened for a very long time, as Moyes was absolutely notorious for watching players live many times before signing them. He famously watched Lescott something like 10+ times before opting to sign him, hence the 'Dithering Davie' nickname.
 


Thinking about it dont russian football have a winter break around december, january! so bobby coming out saying been watching niasse since end of october if thats what it was it cant really be as much as you think, just over a month surely. so he def been watching videos the little blagger or he just met him playing fifa xbox live! anybody remember that ali dia matey that somehow fooled graeme souness down saints that he was george weah cousin and he ended up signing him on a month long contract i think it was, absolute classic that was!! thats better than being done by video footage

Probably, cos its unlikely he went over to watch him.

I think most overseas players are bought with the manager watching vids.

But that doesnt mean thats ALL we do, we have a VAST scouting network and im fairly sure players are watched numerous times by scouts before the manager gets a look at them.
