Wages. We don't have the income to attract players that would improve our first team. If we do splurge 200k a week on an unnamed world class player then all the existing players will be looking for a wage rise.
Players. I honestly can't think of any available player who would improve our first team. There are plenty of players that could improve our depth but will they be happy to play second fiddle to our first eleven?
But would that change if you were trained in analysing players' ability, given a scouting team and associated resources to help you identify these players and given a year to 18 months (or longer) timeframe to work within?
I'm not having a go at you personally, just think these types of argument are a little 'straw-man' when you consider that there are well-resourced professionals who do this for a living. If they can't identify key-targets, then why are we paying them?
Which brings me on to the next point...
Once the targets have been identified, another group of professionals are employed to get a deal done so said players can be signed. Again, if they can't do that then why are we paying them?
