You don't get snapped cause there is no one to snap you, neither do you "apply" for a scouting company. You work as a scout if you were friends in youth football with the current President or Manager at a club. You can create your own company if your rich daddy gives you enough money to create it.

I am in neither situation of the above, so there is no way I could enter into the football business. Let alone in the big money Premier League one. They don't recruit you if you're highly professional and well trained, it's all about relations and connections. They all think they know about football players ))

Give it a rest now please as this thread is about Neal Maupay and not Matteo

Who wouldn't like to work for a big club? But I don't have anyone to reccommend me. I have my books articles on football topics for the last 10 years and if you read them at their time you can see how I predicted players like Coutinho or Griezmann would get this high ever since they were playing in Espanyol or Real Sociedad and cost less than 5 million.

I can take a club from relegation to Champions League winner in 10-15 years through constant growth using the transfer periods and making it richer and richer until rivaling the best in the world, but many people on this website will say I'm not good at this, even though you can take all my posts from 3 years ago and you'll see that everything I said came true and all my posts still stand.

So, if you want to, you and anyone else who appreciates me can message the board into hiring me...

Wow.

Yeah, i know, right? The audacity to even say that? But what if I truly could?

Someone quoted me on the previous page that I said Sorloth will be the real deal. I'd like to point out that it was in a context of potential for a 21 year old and that I meant he will be so in the future. Also, on that same thread I said that in no way he is worth 12 million and I would not pay that kind of money for an unproven player.

As someone said, this thread is not about me and I apologize that I'm derailing it and I swear this is my las post, but I just want to say:

1. My first posts on this site were about how pretty good Andros Townsend is in English football. And people here were 99,99% against me and bashing Townsend. I even got called out for having ticked Townsend at "my favourite player" box when you make your registration. He's not been the best in the PL, but Townsend has been in the top 5 players with most assists outside the top 6 teams in the PL.

2. Also in my first posts I said that going with Benteke (who was on a descending path) is wrong and he should be replaced. I pointed out a couple of names which I will not get into now, but one of them was the less known German at that time, 28 year old Nils Petersen. He went on to be one of the best scorers in the Bundesliga and narrowly missed the country's 23 for the World Cup (ok, now he's past 30, but he was very good these last 2 an a half years). Meanwhile, Benteke has gone more and more quiet. Even Dwight Gayle, who people here said was 10 times worse than Benteke, has scored more goals in the Premier League than him in the last 2 years.

3. I was the first to say that PVA is a very good left back and that getting him was a good deal when everyone was like "no way, he's good attacking, but can't defend". And now Juventus wants him!

3. In my first posts 3 years ago I pointed out that playing Kelly as right back and especially Ward as left back is a horrible strategy. People bashed me that I'm no manager and what do I know. Alan Pardew was paid over 2 million every year by Palace and West Brom because he knows more than me!!

Erm because you really couldn't.

We'll just take your suggestions from this thread.

Moussa Kone. Bundesliga 2. Barely championship standard.

His assists and goals have been in either the second division of German football and even worse, the challenge league in Switzerland which is League two at best.

Habib Diallo. Ligue 2. Barely Championship standard too.

Didn't even score 1 in 3 for Brest in Ligue 2, he's hardly going to cut it in our league.

But yeah they're better than Benteke.

Wow, you thought Townsend, the England international, was a good player. What an eye for a player you have.

PVA is not wanted by Juve, reading a website like The Transfer Tavern where its all made up clickbait doesn't mean they are or have been interested in him. PVA is a decent left back but he is and always be better at going forward than defending and that's why he plays for us and not a top side.

We could all see Kelly at RB and Ward at LB wasn't working, that doesn't make you a genius.

I've genuinely never seen anyone as delusional before and I still always laugh when people suggest you should work for the club.

It's very easy for anyone to suggest players and be adamant they will be world beaters.

I think I've only ever seen 1 player from the 3000 you've suggested that I think would genuinely be a good signing and that's Selke. You other suggestions like Leigh Griffiths are frankly absurd.
