Andraz Sporar, I don’t rate him very highly. If this is what scouting Sporting is doing, don’t expect to join the big 2 anytime soon.
We should sign you up as a scout. Intact let’s get Joe Martelo the tactical genius of elite level teams in to be our coach!
He has an impressive scoring record. I think something like 26 goals this season and 58 in the last 2 years. But it is in an inferior league. Still, Raul de Tomas flopped at Benfica and he came from La Liga for 20 mill.
Funny you say that. I turned down a position as a scout with Vitoria FC (Setubal) about 8 years ago. my ex-wife deterred me from going as she didn't want to move to Portugal. I regret it now. Take it as a lesson, never let a woman stand in the way of your dreams...
Curious as to how you even got a job offer as a scout? Since you joined I have found you to be the most knowledgeable and impressive member (other than myself), so would love to hear how this came about. Others for some reason question you, but as someone who has interacted with many many people throughout my lifetime it is so clear to see when someone is being genuine and it is a shame that you are so attacked on here for spreading your knowledge. I myself have undergone scrutiny from envious posters on here when discussing the intricacies of the game. However, I have learned throughout my own life experiences that being successful leads to haters and I do not hold this against them as it is a natural human tendency. My advice for you is to understand this whenever receiving attacks by envious members on here and to not take it to heart. Would hate to see a fellow knowledgeable poster be driven off this forum.
To be honest part of it was right place at the right time and part of it was knowing the right people. Like most things in life. I have some relatives in Portugal who are in football but they work with lower league sides. I was at a Vitória training session taking notes with a cousin of mine, my cousin introduced me to some of the Vitória staff and we went for lunch, discussed football etc. I was offered a job as a scout but my ex wife didn’t want to move there with my young daughter at the time. Anyways the Vitória staff were impressed with my football knowledge. If I had taken the role they were also hoping I could scout on occasion in North America, especially within luso communities. However, I had to live over there for most of the season. I really regret not taking the opportunity. Thank you for your comments.
Scp21, Scp 16, scp92 you guys look all the same to me. Probably same person. What next ? Scp 2002? It would be good to put the year of the Last time Your team won something important.
I appreciate the acknowledgement. I'm unique. Not many like me. A big f*ckin deal around these parts as well. Also, f*ck Benfica and all of their supporters.
I don’t begrudge him a move to a bigger club/stage but don’t want it to happen this month. The club still has to hold onto a European spot and can’t afford to fall off due to the void left if he is sold. Curious who is lined up if he goes.
PAOK president says they have signed Misic permanently. He was on loan and its said the option to buy is 2.3 mill
Really going to miss Bruno when he leaves. He was the heart and soul of this team since he's been here, but I'm also happy he gets to play for a big club and league. Hopefully everything works out for him.
He should leave because Sporting has no future and he won’t win anything important there. Sporting is trying to get as much money as they can so they can extend their lifespan a couple of more years. Some of my contacts in Portugal tell me Sporting is in real danger of financial collapse.
Yeah, otherwise Sporting would just give him away for free. Seriously, give it a rest. You have no contacts.
I do have contacts. I could have become a scout at Vitoria years ago (Ex-wife held me back). regret it now, but I am planning on setting a goal to get into professional football. I am not perfect by any means but I am who I am.
Sporar continues to be heavily linked to us. Lets hope he brings his scoring form here because we need a goalscorer desperately.
Wow lots of rumblings that Bruno Fernandes is REFUSING to play in the derby tomorrow trying to force his way out of the green and white prison and head to Man utd. You guys can never catch a break.
