    There's definitely a player in there, he was excellent at Forest & one of the key reasons they got promoted. Arguably the standout in a poor season for Watford too. Needs to be more consistent with his goal output for sure but, similar to some of our pickups, he has all the attributes you'd look...

    Wow... That even makes an Andy Turner piece seem insightful by comparison.

    Transfer Rumour Yasin Ayari

    No, exactly. Assessing the data & being able to contextualise it - technical scouting as we call it, is a real skill in itself. With regards mental attributes no - that's why you scout in person too & also get references from others in the game as to their character etc.

    Mason Greenwood

    Shame it took the fan & media backlash to get to this point but at least they have finally come to the right decision. I suspect he'll go & play abroad now.

    That is how it does work, 100%. Clubs like Brighton have enormous databases of potential signings that they have identified using data but they still go & scout them in person. Might be mistaken but I think Brighton were the first to have position specific scouts too.

    Transfer Rumour Yasin Ayari

    It's funny how some of the more 'traditionalist' football people, especially fans, hate all the modern use of data & statistics when the evidence couldn't be clearer as to its importance in giving clubs like these a massive leg up over rivals & much bigger/richer/more established clubs.

    Transfer Rumour Yasin Ayari

    Yes. Similar to Hamer in that he's not overly concerned about his pass completion, he'll happily take on the risky, creative passes.

    Tbf, I heard the Gilmour one as well. I'd also heard previously about a couple of others from a coach at the club (admittedly 2nd hand) that didn't end up happening either. Transfers are very complex things!

    Transfer Rumour Yasin Ayari

    Heard his name linked a few times now. Brighton are looking to loan him out, we've obviously had a couple of very successful loans from them in the recent past & in terms of style he would fit well. I'm not going to label a 19 year old as a "Hamer replacement" but what will definitely appeal...

    The owner Tony Bloom has been ahead of the curve on data scouting for years, has his own analysis company for scouts called Starlizard.

    Apparently this might be legit. Would be a terrific signing.

    Can't see this, he's easily a PL player already & destined for the top. Just coming back from an injury that's kept him out for months too so won't be fit.

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    He's a very good young player, excellent scoring record everywhere he's been too, just taking time to find his feet & get used to the system.

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Simms is a good 2 weeks older tbf.
