Owls chief defends lack of signings (from several weeks ago):
Much has been spoken of and written about Wednesday’s recruitment drive in the last two transfer windows. It has been far from perfect but no football club gets all their business spot on.
Carvalhal is just one of the pieces in the Hillsborough transfer jigsaw. He and his backroom staff are tasked with compiling a list of targets to submit to Chansiri and his global advisers. Extensive background checks go into all transfer targets.
“We look at players all the time,” said Carvalhal. “We have three levels of observation.“Some days we may analyse 30 players and that is no exaggeration.
“My video analysts look at the details of the player first. If the player passes through them, they will then go to our defensive coach Joao Mario Oliveira, for example. He will check on the player and if he says ‘this player is good’ it comes through to me.
"We organise it like that as I can’t see 50 players on my own every day. When the player comes to me, usually I don’t like to ask too many things. I want to see what the player is like with my own eyes. Nowadays, it is better to see the player live but we can watch clips and games all over the world. We can see a lot of games and check the movement of players.”
Interesting way to go about transfers. Would have thought Carlos would get first look at a player.

Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.
