Cabaye - integral role with French champions.
Tiote - league winner in Netherlands.
Debuchy - French international who played very well in Euro 2012.
Ben Arfa - already very highly rated player playing CL football.
Ba - already looking good in the PL.
Cisse - scoring for fun in the Bundesliga and very highly rated.

It's not as if he found these players in the Venezualan 3rd division.
OK BGD - would you let me know who in the Dutch title winning side we should sign, and who are available for a bargain fee?

Jesus, sorry Graham.

Not sure how I feel about this, he found us the likes of Cabaye, Tiote, Debuchy, Ben Arfa, Ba & Papiss (1st season)

on the other hand he brought in Sissokko, Thauvin, Marveaux, Cabella & Papiss (rest of the time he was with us)

He was very hit and miss with his recruitment.

Pretty much makes all scouts irrelevant if it doesn't count when the players they brought in were already known to someone

Very true.

Most of them had good YouTube montages and were rated well on FIFA games of their time.

I was a better scout. I was chatting about Eden Hazard when he was 13/14 years old. Alas I stuck my colours on Jelle Vossens pole.

None of that was perverted by the way.

But he found them for himself. That should count for something.

Leads alluded to they very point after he left ( and had a free opinion ). We were trying to buy them cheap AND buy players who would be sold on as proven quality Premiership standard.

Don't forget as well that he was the scout, while he undoubtedly had a great deal of influence his role was to identify targets not to sign players. He spotted a number of gems at bargain basement prices, who knows who was on his lists if we'd actually been willing to spend some money.

Sissoko was sold for a huge profit, that alone makes that a success. Marveaux was a free transfer and did a job on occasion. Thauvin is a brilliant player but never wanted to come here, can't blame Carr for that. Cabella wasn't a bad player, we gave up on him far too soon.
