Just been reading that our scouts have been watching Anderlecht on a regular basis recently but who actually is employed by the club in a scouting role? As for Anderlecht, wouldn't mind there striker M'Bokani, seen him when I went to Goodison 5 or so seasons back when Everton played Standard Liege and he was like a energetic Kenwyne Jones, seen him a couple of times in this season's champs league and he has looked canny then as well notching a couple of goals. Being suggested M'Bokani could well be the player we are watching and he is a typical MoN striker, big, powerful, got a bit of pace, brings others into play and can get a few goals.

cheers for that mate but who are the rest? I remember reading on the SMB a few weeks ago and someone had named one, I cannot remember there name now but I searched them up on wiki and it said they were our Spanish scout. Whoever that bloke is has the best job ever! He can relax in Spain with his family and take in the odd game at the weekend, when the **** did we last buy someone from Spain!!!
i got them from http://www.sunderlandafc.gofreeserve.com/staff.htm but it does seem to be a tad out of date. other than whats named there, i havnt got a clue they dont list them on the SAFC website.
Wouldn't be surprised if he has joined many other PL clubs (including ourselves) in looking at Cheikhou Kouyaté
bloody hell I though M'Bokani was a beast until I seen this lad stand next to him on that clip and at only 22 ******* hell [video=youtube;1pC62GmGUpc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pC62GmGUpc[/video]
Aye he's a big laddie! Have to say I'm hoping we are in the mix. Being Senegalese is obviously a bonus. Versatile lad, best at centre back but comfortable in midfield. I just want a centre back in January for us, him or Kjaer would be nice. I keep mentioning the latter on our board and we were linked in July. I noticed you had mentioned him in relation to your lot the other day. Top player. Either one would do for me as Saylor can't stay fit and the less said about Willo the better.
Our youth scout was a bloke called Jimmy, cant remember his surname but he died. He loved to take in.a schools game, always on the sidelines in his tracksuit,.dead keen he was.
As much as I hate to say it I think it's more about getting in with the agents rather than cold scouting these days
I have to say. Footy manager has an accurate staff list for all the clubs. I havent got fm13 though so I cant be sure
Whoever they are they need to get their fingers out and find us a couple of gems from anywhere Holland, Italy, Mars I'm not bothered it takes us for a decent signing from afar who will actually stay around for more than a year.
