Rafa's New Reds Recruitment Regime

There may have been a few transfer dissappointments recently but this will not be the case in the future as Rafa's system will enable us to find and acquire quality players before our rivals even know who they are. He had this to say about searching for new talent:

"We have changed the entire scouting system and replaced some of the old scouts. We now have scouts working tirelessly on our behalf right around the world and we have situated these in what we believe to be the most important countries. "This new system we've put in place means they can now submit their reports to us easier and quicker, whether they are in Argentina or in this country. The information they provide us with is very important and could be the first step towards us signing a new player. "At this early stage we are yet to reap the benefits of these changes. This summer has come too soon for us. The new system has only just been put into place so it has not been easy but maybe when the transfer window opens again we will notice a difference. "The job of a scout is really important, in fact I'd say it is one of the most important at the club. If you have good scouts then you are one step ahead when it comes to trying to sign up good young players early in their career or established players who are good enough to step straight into the first team. "It's all about timing and you must get in there before other clubs. The transfer market is very competitive and a lot of the time you are competing with clubs that have a lot more money."

I find it hard to believe some people have questioned Rafa after missing out on Owen. How can anyone question Rafa? For me he knows exactly what he has to do to look after the best interests of the club.
