Ollie has masses of intelligence on the eastern european leagues and has proven his ability to spot a player from there. Where would we be now just with Busazky and Halmosi?
Bobby Williamson signed Buzsaky (correct spelling).

There all foreigners Holloway must not like the English born players then.
Thankfully I don't have to listen to him get it wrong.......
Where do you think Howard, Hayles and Alnwick were born?
Melts could be onto something here actually...I haven't disputed any of that FFS!!!!
I'm saying I see similarities to the way the summer signings were made.
Agreed some of the player do trun out to be real stars just hope they do for us not had that type of player for what 8-9 yearsOllie does seem to have a knack of getting players from smaller european nations.
Difference is this time is the players have been over on trial and we seem to be loaning them not giving them 3 year deals.
I hadn't heard of alot of the young player that wenger signs either but they do a job.

All hail the Prince of Slovakia...
All seems very similair to what happened in the summer to me.
Couldnt be further from it imo
Really?
Signing unkown foreign youngsters from oversees with a view to them moving the club forward.
I thought the similarity was an obvious one, must be just me then.

In contrast Mandaric had no idea what he was doing.

But one thing I will dispute, signing two players that turn out to be a reasonable success in the second tier, is not what I would describe as "masses of intelligence".
So whats the similarities?
Intelligence is not a commodity.
'Signing unknown foreign youngsters' I assume is what you mean. They are unknown to you but not our manager. The signings made in the summer were unknown to everyone.
After further investigation by the match officials, it appears that Melton Fox was once again, absolutely fcuking spot on!!!!!!DUCE

By signing unknown foreigners in bulk with a view to them being our saviours. We did it in the summer, it didn't work. We did it in the winter, it didn't work, as I was suggesting it wouldn't.How?

Read the thread if you're interested, it's all explained in there. It was around the time of signing the Magyars.
You will obviously not get the context of the discussion we had at the time due to the mood changing.Believe it or not, Pecnik is not the same person as Laczko or Bori. And I would hardly call signing two unknown foreigners in the winter as "in bulk".
