Arnesen to join Hamburg as sporting director

They all use Football Manager anyways .

Dunno about the others but scouting Ronaldo was no feat. He was probably as famous as Neymar is now when he signed for PSV.

Ronaldo Luis Lima was 18 years old and had just finshied the 94 world cup in USA, and Arnesen gets the boy on contract

before everybody else, tell me if that`s not super scouting what is then?.

Exactly my point.

Scouting the next Brazilian wonderkid after he took part in the World Cup isn't impressive. Getting him to sign is.

Ive read that it was piet de visser who brought ronaldo to arnesons attention, de visser is also the guy who scouted/recommended alex, cech and robben to chelsea apparantly, he is currently romans personel scout according to reports and one of europes leading scouts from the last two decades, if you want to see the reports type 'de visser' 'ronaldo' 'romario' into google.

André Villas-Boas was often accused of using CM to scout the opposition (think that was his job) during his stay here. Look where he's now

Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen is supposedly keen on bringing Salomon Kalou with him when he moves to Hamburg this summer.

CFC potential coach Marco Van Basten wanted him to play for his Holland some years ago. What is it with Dutch people?

WE LOOK IN GOOD HANDS!

PA with plenty of power

The name Marina Granovskaia will not mean anything to football supporters.

But it means a lot to agents and power-brokers at the leading clubs; for she is emerging as one of the most influential people in the game. Granovskaia is Roman Abramovich’s PA at Chelsea and the decision was made some time ago to relocate her from Stamford Bridge to the training ground at Cobham.

Granovskaia has become a hugely influential figure. Indeed it was she who was the conduit for Chelsea’s two big transfer deals of the January window — the signing of Fernando Torres and David Luiz — rather than the club’s sporting director Frank Arnesen.

No doubt that this is true, but every scourt in the world has connection/ or even friends he use or will be used. Scouting is not a one man show.

Ok, lets agree about that
