Hi all
I am a teacher and have recently been looking at analysis in elite level sport specifically football. One of the things we look at is the time taken at the elite level to analyse both players at a club and players they might like to sign
In many cases this is after extensive scouting and analysis. IIRC mikel was watched for an awful long time by man ure and Chelsea and lets not even get started on leandro. But I'm more interested in when clubs go against this MO and sign players after a short period of time in form or in the first team without a long period of scouting.i Because these signings often don't work out and it will allow me to highlight to students the importance of thorough analysis. I can think of bebe to man u and diouf and diao to Liverpool after Senegal doing well at wc2002. Stumped after this so S.C. hoping you may help me if you know of any other good examples.
I suppose if the goat itk of mcmanaman comes off this could be an example as he has only had 2 months first team experience and then boom big club sees the short term performance levels and takes a plunge.
Appreciate any help, ta very much
