Not enough credit is given (to FSG/recruitment team) for hiring such a high-performance team. It’s not easy to bring a key personnel from the likes of Bayern or Cheaty.
I’m interested to know about our scouting team.
FIFY
Liverpool’s scouting staff is relatively small compared to a team like Man Uniteds. Players are rated between A-D. Most are between C-D due to high standards. D is not good enough, C is okay but must see more. Anything else is solid interest and an A is a transfer bid basically straight away but is very rare. Each scout covers 1-2 countries compared to other teams who have one scout per major city. Not sure why we don’t go mad but might be a quality over quantity thing. They travel around their respective countries and enter players on a database so Edwards/Ward/Ingeltorpe can view. Communication is not frequent so not to be standing on scouts toes adding pressure to find a quantity of players instead of finding the ideal one. Every detail is noted. Through inquiries made by scouts, family life’s, personalities are documented on these databases which effect decisions.
