Process steps

1. Tactical briefing
   To begin with, we’ll ask the club to explain what type of player they are looking for and his anticipated role within the team.
2. Financial boundaries
   Then, we’ll ask for some rough financial boundaries for a transfer in terms of the transfer fee, salary and possibly some other expenses to take into account.
3. Compile longlist
   Based on the information provided, we’ll compile a longlist of players who seem to have the right profiles to follow up on with video scouting.
4. Cross out players
   To make the process more efficient, we’ll ask the club to cross out players we don’t have to look at as you already know they are (not) interesting.
5. Video scouting
   Our scouts will the evaluate the remaining players on the longlist by watching both full matches and individual player clips.
6. Presenting shortlist
   The final step is to present a shortlist with players that fit the criteria set by the club and to explain why we think they are a good fit.

Practical example

Let’s assume you are looking for a European left-footed central defender. Ideally, he is between 22 and 28 years old, available as a free agent and willing to sign for € 20.000 gross per month.

In possession, he should take initiative, find solutions forward and be press resistent. Defensively, he has to be aggressive, agile and able to play in a high defensive line.

We’ll create a longlist of players that fit those criteria. Then we’ll start evaluating them with video. Players with good reports will be evaluated again. 

In the end, we’ll come up with a list of about 5 players we think could be good options for your club. We’ll explain why they could be suitable and discuss them with your club.
