Agreed. I wonder if he'd be interested in doing our match threads?That's an exceptionally well written article...
One sat near me on Saturday and he was drawing players positions and movements on sheets of A4 but he spent most of his time sketching out the penalty area 6 yard box etc on countless bits of paper.I think people over simplify what "real scouts" do.
Demba Ba (player).
Playing in Chinese League (first key point) and is currently injured (second key point).
His twitter a/c suggests he is flying somewhere (third key point).
All adds up (conclusion).
More likely a match scout then a player scout. Determining player movement, how to counter it, how team sets up for defence, set pieces ect. You dont get that of the tele, on a corner for example you get 6 yd box on tv, but not how they set further out to break awayOne sat near me on Saturday and he wait, drawing players positions and movements on sheets of A4 but he spent most of his time sketching out the penalty area 6 yard box etc on countless bits of paper.
He would have been better watching on the box at home .
Apparently this striker fella is having a medical abroad somewhere- another Alan Nixon tweet.
I've wanted him all window since the Copa America. I don't think he'd cost an arm and a leg either.
That's an exceptionally well written article...

I bet it's Gyan on loan.
Gyan has already been linked and (apparently) failed a medical at Reading recently.
If this comes off and it's actually a player worth signing (which is doubtful) kudos to the club for keeping it under wraps.
Alan Nixon @reluctantnicko
Hull City foreign striker target currently having medical abroad. Got a good chance now.
He's made that sound like he knows who it is but just isn't telling us?
