Leicester then Brighton then Brentford were all supposed to have some secret sauce that meant they only signed gems. In reality they just got lucky. The transfer market is a lottery, nobody gets it right all the time. Yes you can have a good team of scouts but it's not possible to keep signing players that improve your team. At some point you get it wrong. Don't forget Southampton and Swansea before them teams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oishiiniku_uk Posted Tuesday at 11:13 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:13 I think for models like Brighton's, there's a window of time in which you can reap the rewards of football markets that others are sleeping on (Leicester did something similar with the French league), but after a while everyone else catches up and starts buying players from those countries also; the prices increase and there's not the same value anymore. Also, as you as a club improve you need to acquire a better quality of player to keep the momentum going (harder to introduce players to a team that's competing for/in Europe) and the talent pool gets smaller as the price and quality increases.
