Chris Cadden leaves Oxford 08:32 - Jan 3 with 3473 views | ChateauWines | Easily Oxfords best player so far has been recalled by Colombus Crew. That will leave a gaping hole in their defence and set piece offensive plays. |  |

Chris Cadden leaves Oxford on 08:37 - Jan 3 with 3018 views | TRUE_BLUE123 | A player on loan from Columbus Crew. How bizarre. I always say we don't scout far enough. We should be looking at players out of England. It worked well for Norwich and Huddersfield. Can Lambert use his German connections. |  |

I'm sure Lambert does have connections in Germany, the question is if Evans is willing to pay for it, and I think we all know the answer to that! However, when Lambert was at Villa, I don't recall too many players being signed from German clubs. |  |

Yer I was just speculating. Germany or not though I do find it strange we don't sign a lot of players from abroad. All the money ME spunked on Nsiala, Nolan and Edwards etc. Norwich I think spent similar on their players. Hate to keep using them as a blueprint but they operate well. |  |

Never realised until researching Colombus that all MLS salaries are publically available. Appears Tommy Smith was on $600,000.00. I imagine this was a bit of a payrise on what he was earning here? https://www.denverpost.com/2019/06/12/colorado-rapids-player-salaries-2019/ |  |

Has Lambert played in Germany yet? He's never mentioned it...... |  |

Lambert had one year in Germany over 20 years ago. Farke & Wagner had worked in Germany their whole careers before coming over here, completely different. |  |

Ok. I wasn't comparing them, I was just saying Lambert probably has decent connections in Germany? Just used Norwich and Huddersfield as a blueprint for signing players from abroad. |  |

Cadden was at Motherwell last season but wouldn't sign a new deal. Oxford wanted to take him, but the compensation due was too much for them. Columbus Crew signed him for peanuts, then loaned him to Oxford to get around it. Motherwell were thoroughly p*ssed off by all accounts.

Quite And even if Lambert does have a couple of contacts in Germany, that’s largely irrelevant without us as a club having the sort of scouting network in place that would enable us to identify players in the first place, which we evidently don’t |  |

Not disagreeing with you, but didn't O'Neill say the other week our scouting department has had a revamp (in terms of numbers and where we scout etc)? |  |

Well if O’Neill said it it must be true Needless sarcasm aside, I find it hard to believe we’ve invested significantly in scouting suddenly when we’re in a division below and had a massive drop in income. I’ll believe it when I see decent evidence of it |  |

The revamp means we've now got one guy sat playing Football Manager all day. |  |

I'm sure I read a few years ago Everton (and several other clubs) did actually employ people to do that. |  |
