As someone who watches USMNT, get the Hoppe deal done. However he's going that cheap take advantage.

He's quick, technical, physical and mobile. He's just breaking through. In 18 months he'll be getting linked to big money moves to the likes of Chelsea or Bayern for 60-80 million euros.

He'll be the next Haaland/ Mahrez/Vardy/Gueye. His price and profile. will soon rocket.

Read up on the Brentfords scouting process mate.

I am not that aware of their whole team, but they sold 2 of the BMW front line for circa £50m recently after paying buttons for them, using their system that INCLUDES looking at forums. They scouted that Tony (sic) lad at POSH a few years ago; they were asked for £12m. They walked away cos their system told them he wasnt worth that. The following year they signed him for £6m.

So a professional/successful scouting network uses, as a small part of their process, fan forums. But you dismiss those professionals from 3000 miles away. Ok mate.

Brentford? The one that is entirely data driven is doing what now?
 
roydo said:
Its what they do. Data, scouting, forums, contacts, gossip. Been doing it for years.

As have most clubs. Data will be patchy at the lower levels, though not zippo. Non league, non existent pretty much, I would guess.

Then live scouting. Then background stuff. Its not new.

I've read about Brentford. This is not how I'd summarize their process.

Like I said, the best judges of a Plymouth Argyle player are the few thousand who watch him every week. Fans views are generally on line, so why dismiss that rich source of confirmation, or otherwise, when assessing whether to take your interest further?

You would need to check out their opinions well in advance of any transfer rumours arising , because players generally plummet in fans estimation when that happens.

I think most targets will have been watched plenty of times playing live by scouts and management. I doubt Everton would rely on a forum like this for ideas... God help them if they do.

It's more about professionals in any field not taking on the opinions of amateurs mate. I know football fans love to think supporting their club means they know a lot, it just frankly doesn't. I'm guilty of it too no doubt, but from the outside we just don't understand a lot of what goes into playing at that level.

I understand it like studying history. People read a plethora of secondary evidence i.e. people who lived through it (diaries, letters and the like). If there's enough of the masses saying the same thing, then it could be seen as the truth. This, COUPLED with the facts, allows the PROFESSIONAL to make an informed decision / view on what was really going on. Also, I'd hope a professional could distinguish between a knee jerking, attention seeking social media typing keyboard warrior and a fan with a view.

Bloody sensible if you ask me.

Anyone feeling a bit like this could be like Martinez's first summer. A summer of very little business followed by a trio of deadline day 1st team signings?

We’ll see incomings once some are sold, whether that be tomorrow, next week or the last day of the window.

fully expecting a super busy end to the window for loads of teams.

You seem to have convinced me. If he is half as good he would still be spectacular.
