So Mid table that we as an elite club want to sign there LB and CB.
Which is exactly how it works - we, the top feeders, buy from those under us. Not the other way round.

Purchasing players at decent price and making huge profit on them.
Look at the table and you will see no longer mid table
And we could do exactly the same if we wanted to sell our players.
We don't sell our talent. We're a winning club and that talent is up there with the cream of the crop, regardless of current table position.
But shouldn't we be looking at why they scout good decent CB but we don't
We need to be the ones leading not following.
We couldn't sell Mangala in a raffle
Cream of the crop my arse, not at CB anyway.
Midfield and Forward positions we scout very well but CB scouting is shite.
I've stated this already, and think it's pretty clear. We don't go after the level of players they do and take punts - we go for players who are more proven and more of a sure thing, because we can. That's what the biggest, richest clubs generally do.
Apart from a PL title, regarded widely as a miracle, Leicester have won nothing and are not expected to win anything. It's comparing chalk and cheese.
The point he's making about our CB souting is pretty valid though I'd say. You could argue we've made one very good CB signing in the last 10 years (Laporte), and our fullback acquisitions haven't been that much better.Scouting isn't all winning. You win some, you lose some - that is the entire game. You hope that you have many more wins and than losses, keeping the wins big and losses small.
The grass isn't greener on the other side - need we be reminded of Leicester signing Nacho for 25 mill.

With our recent trophy haul these last few seasons, I would suggest we are not following anybodyBut shouldn't we be looking at why they scout good decent CB but we don't
