I'm not saying he doesn't have trusted scouts, but how wide can we sensibly cast the net? Do we send our scouts on the off chance that we find what we're looking for in Portugal or in the Italian second division, or wherever. Its easy to say 'you know, just get some foreign player in, they must be better than what we've got, and we can get em for a song', but I suspect reality is a long way away from this.

Does anyone know how many scouts we have?
