Do we have any links with foreign clubs that allow us first option of their players? I briefly remember us getting linked to having a first option on two Santos youngsters as part of the deal that took Robinho to them on loan but I don't think anything came of that. I know we have a good relationship with Feyenoord but not sure of any others.

And does anyone else think it would be worthwile creating some links with other clubs especially South American clubs. I mean perhaps we could let Tevez return to Boca next season on a free transfer with a view to us having first dabs on their players. It could be beneficial to all 3 parties as it helps us long term and stops Tevez from joining one of our rivals, lets the player return home and give Boca a world class player. I know that a lot of south americans dream of playing in Europe and with our current Argie players we could become the teams that the young Argentinians dream of playing for.

Apparently Barca have got a deal with Santos over Neymar, so anyone think this is something the club is looking at or have looked at?
 
I think we have a deal with Gil Vicente in Portugal. There's probably a few others too.
