Sheva. 5,373 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Because transfers at big clubs are done by committee - the same probably applies at clubs like Spurs too.I actually think he is a good scout, but I don't think many of the signings made at clubs he's been at in this country and involved him a huge amount.Well he certainly did not do any signings at Porto, so why do you think he's a good scout then?

Managed to piss off so many people at the club and still wanted some credit for our successes last year. But I'll give him credit for spotting Romeu for us, and if that ain't worth £13 million I don't know what is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not really done anything to prove he is a great scout in that regard. The only place to be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanBlue 82 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I don't know if anybody's interested in this, but Jan Kirchhoff, a talented German defender, will join Bayern Munich next summer. He rejected offers from other clubs in the Bundesliga (especially Schalke) to probably sit on the bench at Munich being their 4th center back in their squad. Still a good signing for the future.

themightyblue 443 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I am so jealous of this one! Holtby is an amazing talent. I've followed him since he was captaining the German U17 side and I would bet anything he is going to be world class. AVB is one hell of a scout!Considering the fact that Holtby is pretty well known talent out there, I don't think this is the right transfer to herald Avb as being 'one hell of a scout' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I am so jealous of this one! Holtby is an amazing talent. I've followed him since he was captaining the German U17 side and I would bet anything he is going to be world class. AVB is one hell of a scout!Don't think it's AVB solely. Tottenham have a knack for signing potential stars - Bale, Walker, KPB (even though he didn't work out there), Kaboul & Modric are just prime examples. Tottenham have a good scouting network. Besides, it's not like Holtby was an unknown commodity anyway, he's made huge strides in the last 18 months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
