As far as we know none of the top teams in the Premiership have shown any interest in Sandro, however that doesn't mean it's unplausible that Utd would be interested, nor does that mean we should throw him out.

Man city bid for him a few windows back.

Has Shewood been spotted at the game? And has some ITK suggested that its Isco he is watching?
Thanks

Sky Sports commentator spoke to him before the match! Asked him if he's there to scout Isco? He said he's there to scout all 22 players.

 

[Ribble]

Did he give 'em one of these afterward?

I think Sky interviewed him and they asked him who he was scouting and he said all 22 players

 

[shelfmonkey]

I think I'd rather take a punt on Isco than Willian.

Pppfffff!!! We'll have 'em both!!

After thinking about it,i don't believe Sherwood has anything to do with the first team scouting.He's still in charge of the youth setup.Maybe he's checking out the 16y old striker.

 

[greaves]

Not being funny, but why are we still watching players this late in the window? Shouldn't all our scouting have been done already?

Because scouting happens throughout the year, unlike, say, grouse shooting?

According one Daily Star story, there has actually been bit more stories on the press linking THudd to ManUtd in the past.

Yes I think that's probably the case actually. It would seem to fit more within Tim's remit than scouting Isco.

It's interesting though that Sherwood skipped our earlier nextgen game to watch this match. Suggests that this scouting mission is not of a casual variety.

I dont know a thing about Isco but consulted the ever reliable scouting network of youtube and decided he's better than Messi. Sign him up

That's some thorough research mate, I usually just read their wikipage.

I thought he had a role in first team transfers and such with the new setup?

For Sherwood to skip the NextGen game which he's said that he see's as the most important fixtures for the youth team it must have been urgent and very important.

For that reason its got to be Isco, watching a 16yr old could wait surely? Where as Isco would be urgent as we need him in the first team.

Agree! But why are we scouting him now? Surely AVB knows all about Isco. Even I could tell you he's a quality player without having to watch tonight's match. Maybe someone can ask JJ?

 

[robin09]

His career's gone a bit quiet since 'Thong Song'.

Completely agree, to be scouting players with less than two weeks left of the window is ridiculous.

Not really. Footie is a year long thing. You take every opportunity to see players. Saying there is a 'season' to view a player is myopic and I thank every god out there (including science!) that you are not involved in the club.

Because you posted in a different font, for some reason I feel that what you say is important and am inclined to agree with you.

Maybe Levy wants Tim's opinion,he seems to have a trust issue, lol.

No twitter stuff for the last couple of hours?

I understand that scouting players is a year long thing, but to be scouting a player with a view to even putting in a bid with 9 days left of the window is leaving it extremely late. By now we really should know who we want and have seen enough of them playing.
