Does anyone know how our scouting is set up? Is detailed scouting something that only exists in FM and at the biggest clubs in the world? I know we have Ian Broomfield, so one guy…And Sherwood has told us how he scouted Suarez, and we sent someone to watch Dier.
Based on our transfers the last couple of years it’s obviously not working out all that well, and we seem to miss out on exciting players. This season we have examples like Graziano Pelle, Sadio Mane, Enner Valencia and Diafra Sakho, who would arguably improve our first eleven at the moment. Last year Bony was a big miss..and so on.
These are our signings the last couple of years:
Lewis Holtby
Zeki Fryers
Paulinho
Christian Eriksen
Nacer Chadli
Roberto Soldado
Etienne Capoue
Vlad Chriches
Erik Lamela
Michel Vorm
Eric Dier
Federico Fazio
Ben Davies
Benjamin Stambouli
14 names. The players that arrived in the summer should be given more time of course. But right now, I would say that only Eriksen and Capoue look like solid, first team improving signings. Is scouting yet another area where we are failing? Why did our staff think that Paulinho, Soldado and Chiriches would be suited to the PL?
