I think personally and it is personal opinion that its too easy to judge Scottish football as inferior or crap, it is a different kind of Football to that played in England-certainly more physical and perhaps faster, size has pushed over skill a lot thankfully that seems to be slowly changing, playing attractive football is creeping in a lot more than the lump it styles of five years ago
Is there talent to be bought North of the border? A resounding yes! Really decent players are beginning to filter through some may have come via the Foreign leagues but some are coming through the academies. Sheff Wed bought May for 800,000 thats for the top goalscorer in the SPL who looked to have it all in his Arsenal, you`d be lucky if Burnley or Millwall would let you have a player for 4m.
Not every bright hopeful talented young scotsman who goes south prospers-for every Kenny Daglish a Frank McGarvey, even the likes of Jim Baxter and Ally Mccoist failed,more recently Fraser Fyvie,Joe Allen and David Goodwillie have all returned early to the Scots leagues however look at Ryan Fraser and Andrew Robertson amongst others.
Yeah Scots leagues arent Barca v Bayern but its a worthy place to scout for a potential bargain
Notice ex Don Jack Grimmer is out of contract at Fulham, I thought he`d signed an extension? He seemed to be ready to crack the first team
Winger Bakary Sako is out of contract at Wolves, would certainly be a good step forward yes?
