Don't get me wrong, they are probably better than what we have, but I never trust a manager who simply raids his old club over and over again.
It's part of job to actually watch games and discover new talent. Think it shows a lack of knowledge when a manager only knows players they have coached before.
IMHO a bit harsh, Slick?
I can see where you're coming from, but if the manager knows that player inside out and also knows he can do a job at whatever level, there's little risk, unlike buying someone who the club MAY have scouted thoroughly but just doesn't gel. We've had enough of those types who come amidst loud fanfares but just cant/don't perform!
