I would hope not, its so hit and miss this tournament and most of the hits are usually already at big clubs.

Siegrist won the best keeper one year, Adiyah was top scorer and a flop So Championship experience only then, tried and tested who can do it on a cold night in Stoke. Isn't the whole point of having scouts that they should be able to spot talent and not fall for the guy who plays a blinder and scores 3 against Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but signing players based of a tournament is as lazy as you get and revipe for failure How else did we get Salifou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I think rodrygo might be at this years tournament, the kid that real madrid spent 50m on a few years back and have been waiting for him to turn 18 so he can complete his move (might be this summer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 It would appear, according to this Marca interview with Juanfran, that he has been scouting Iberia for Aston Villa for the past 6 months (which would align roughly with when Suso recruited Monterrubio too). The article is mostly about his views on the Celta Vigo player Maxi Gomez (not regarding a link to us). However this is a Google Translated snippet discussing Aston Villa: Quote Its position allows you to watch a lot of football: "I've seen every weekend live a minimum of three games in Spain or Portugal. Normally there are four or five, plus I see on TV But the first thing was to know Aston Villa . Their model, style of play, history. You can hardly advise players to a club if you do not know in depth. " 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
