Chelsea trying to sign Arsenal's scout Steve Rowley

[termninja 5,290]

Arnesen's departure has given Chelsea the chance to rethink the way they go about their recruitment. Several scouts have also left: Lee Congerton is joining Arnesen at Hamburg while Frenchman Guy Hillion and Hans Gilhaus, from Holland, have also gone. The network needs to be refreshed so that Chelsea are not left paying the premiums they have on David Luiz and Fernando Torres — or what they would have to pay to sign Luka Modric. Roman Abramovich wants players of this calibre coming through the club's academy system over the next decade.

Those were our main scouts as far as I knew (lol football manager) so founding that we are going for Steve Rowley is nice thing to hear.

I doubt he will leave Arsenal, it would be great if he did arrive

Interesting but yeah... I doubt they will leave Arsenal unless their pay is doubled or tripled...

"triple his wages"

We all know Arsenal is a cheap club in transfers, but I'm pretty sure he's making more than a killing at Arsenal as chief scout.. Is there really no, cheaper, alternative?
