After reading other threads and some views that Sam doesn't know this league and the players he wants. (not necessarily a view I share because I don't know).
In a league where most clubs I assume don't have scouts, and players seem to be on a merry go round going from club to club. How much is it agents flogging their horses, as seemed the case with Mills and his fees paid.
Sam has said he talks to other managers and coaches he knows as he did before signing Luke.
So if you know the league and players or not, is it watching the players yourself and or largely word of mouth.
