I’m a newbie to this forum, so I’m sure you’ve answered these kind of questions before, so apologies for that! How did you get in to scouting? How many matches do you watch a week? How many times do you have to watch a player before you feel you’ve got a comprehensive understanding of them? Prior to working specifically for clubs, how would you go about selling a player to a club? Sorry for bombarding you with them, but always found scouting fascinating, and wanted to know more about it, and if it wasn’t for Omar’s podcast, I wouldn’t have known we had a scout on the forum!

Gave it a listen, thoroughly enjoyed it.
-
Yeah get him out there, have a great season, and then hopefully either cash in or he comes in as backup to Cash next season. I really like the guy, but Smith and the board have earned the right to get rid of who they want from the squad.
-
They just spent £70m on a new stadium, although not sure if that was paid for by other means?
-
Love it when fans suggest we offer players plus money for a target. Almost never happens!
-
Would be great to have him, I just don’t think it’s going to happen.
-
Doesn’t look as though Vassilev quite has what it takes at the top level. Still early days, of course.
-
Our record signing spent a season in the Conference South, which helped with his development. So I’d also disagree with that.
-
Will our players who have gone on international duty be available do we know?
-
The FCK manager has said Lange would never come in for one of his players with a week left in the window. So I think we can assume that the Nelsson link was lazy journalism. Still think we’ll get Rashica and Barkley/RLC. Would be an incredible window if we get them both done, but I’d settle for just Rashica. Don’t think I’ve wanted a player this much since Juan Pablo. And no, I’d never heard of him before this year, and don’t think I’ve ever seen him play.
-
Their announcement of him being back in training, and our ‘interest’ in Sarr is both clubs posturing. They’re saying they’ll start playing him again, we’re saying we’ll pull out of the deal. Still confident it’ll happen. And would actually prefer him to Sarr, who I think is a bit overrated.
-
Engels came from the French league. Very odd what’s happening with him though, do we know if he played any pre-season? I liked him, but if Smith doesn’t then we need to replace him.
-
Aye we did this with Wesley last year. Wouldn’t have been approved if it was any lower.
-
I don’t see how there could be. He got his first work permit after playing just 42 games for Vitesse. In the last four years he’s played 87 out of 148 possible league games, plus 22 European games. Not to mention how many more international games he’s played, too. Scandalous if Chelsea got his work permit, but we’ve got issues.
-
I went and asked an Ajax forum about him: https://www.ajaxtotaal.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3391&start=100 He sounds exciting, but potentially frustrating. If he’s not having a good game, we can bring on the likes of Trez to replace him. I, for one, am excited.
-
Are him and Martinez homegrown? Just thinking for when we’re in Europe next season.
-
Very happy with the signing. Knowing Smith’s preference for new players to know someone in the squad, and seeing how he spent time at Reading, is there a chance that the Swift rumours have legs?
-
CM and CB still needed in my opinion. CB is more important in my eyes. I rate Konsa highly, but I’d like to see him learn off a new and experienced CB, whilst being first reserve.
-
Sounds an exciting signing, I don’t get all the hatred. Is it purely the Lyon fans? They’re a consistent Champions League club, and have far better players than us (Jack aside), so an average player for them could well be a star for us. Do we know the opinion of Ajax fans of him?
