Scouting
AZ Alkmaar have been beaten on aggregate by a team called Kairat from Kazakhstan tonight which is a huge shock. I watched some of the game on a live stream and there is a guy called Bauyrzhan Islamkhan who is the captain and he was brilliant. A quick internet search revealed that he is only 25 years old, plays for the national team, was a previous U21 international captain and was Khazak player of the year in 2014. He scored for them tonight and regularly chips in with goals from his attacking midfield position. Another search revealed that he earns 380,000 tenge a month which is about £900. All of this took me about 20 minutes If I was him and was approached by a club of our standing, selling him the potential to get to the promised land of the premier league a la Vardy etc and a new life in the beautiful town of Wrexham, with an increased salary to boot, I would jump at it. Should we be employing someone to look at this sort of stuff? It cost me nothing! Any opinions welcomed. |

Tipped As Manager

Re: Scouting
Have you ever played football manager, he’d never get a work permit.
Even if we did he’d get homesick so we’d have to sign a mate from back home who would be terrible. Then they’d both start skipping training. Keep posting these extremely wacky ideas though.

Re: Scouting
No doubt there are good players all over the world. You'd have Immigration issues, relocation fees even before you got a chance to see if they would fit into the style of football of the league and of the team. Whether they would settle in to the country. It's a big gamble.
Remember that guy from Singapore (or was it Hong Kong?) we had? I always thought he looked a really good player just totally wrong for the league we were in at the time. |

Your views are very narrow minded bordering on discrimination. You don't know anything about him. Are you suggesting that any Khazak or similar national who obviously has a skill set would use the opportunity to come here on a contract and then run off somewhere? |
