It's a circle Alf. You like to have a dig at Modesto and praise the manager but who recruited the manager? It was your mate Modesto. Also the manager is now part of the recruitment team so he has to take some responsibility for the poor back up players as you like to call them.
Sab spends his time coaching & training the first team, bracketing him as "part of recruitment" is like saying Grabban is "part of the defense" because of how we play. It's a big stretch, and ultimately the majority of Sab's time is focused on the day to day stuff, rather than scouting elsewhere. In fact at the end of Jan he said to the NEP - "I don’t want a bad surprise, I just want a good surprise' - Sabri Lamouchi's transfer message at Nottingham Forest" That to me suggests he's quite detatched from the process.
Sab may have some slight input, but the club as a whole should be giving him much better options.
