    Hello Mates,

    I want to use this thread to share some of my Scouting Reports.



    [​IMG]

    Vasco Maria Cabral Pires Lopes Gaspar
    d.o.b. - May 26, 2003
    Club: Sporting CP
    Position: GK

    Agility: A
    Reflexes: B
    Aerial Game: B+
    Shot Stopping: B+
    Ball Distribution: C+

    SUMMARY:


    one of Portugal's most promising young keepers. Very Agile, tall, and a great shot stopper.
    Unlike many Portuguese keepers, he already seems to be comfortable handling crosses and aerial balls. If he can improve his distribution of the ball he can become a top quality keeper.

    Please DM me if you are interested in some of my scouting footage.

    Rudi Daniel Silva Almeida
    d.o.b. - March 19, 2005
    Club: SL Benfica
    Position: Striker

    Acceleration: B
    Speed: B
    Finishing: B+
    Dribbling: B
    First Touch: A
    Ball Control: A
    Short Passing: B+
    Long Passing/Crossing: B
    Intelligence: A
    Physicality: C
    Tackling: C
    Aggressiveness: C
    Shot Power: B-
    Shot Accuracy: B
    Mentality: A

    SUMMARY:

    Benfica signed the two Almeida twins but I am particularly more impressed with Rudi, who has all the qualities to become a classy striker. He has to build upon his slight frame but that can come as he matures. I am most impressed with his first touch, ball control, ease of finishing within close range, and his mentality. I hear from sources he has a great mentality and always willing to improve and learn.

    Here is my scout report on an amazing talent that I discovered on my trip to Madeira.
    I redacted his name as my contacts in Portugal are working on getting him signed with a professional club.

    Useless scouting report of a 7 year old. Grading like it's school as opposed to talking about positioning and traits, how fast he actually runs vs other high end 7 year olds (lol) and mentioning that he is more like Rui Costa then Ronaldo...really those are the players that he is like? Wouldn't it make more sense to compare a Rui Costa type player to Pirlo or any other attacking mid preferably one that isn't a mega star than possibly the greatest winger/striker in the world?

    I said it before you are a fake scout and you seriously need to stop this troll job pat yourself on the back crap you do because this is a place to talk soccer not live out fantasies and delusions.

    Why would you talk about positioning when referencing a 7 year old. No wonder you are not a scout. He is a street player so it is not expected he would tactically understand positioning yet. The purpose of scouting kids this young is to find ones with good raw talent where their talent can be nurtured at professional clubs where they will eventually learn tactics.

    Also I doubt this is the whole scouting report, im sure joe also took video clips to support his analysis, but he cant legally post it all on here and why would he for free? Be greatful we even got a snippet of his report free of charge as this content could easily be charged for. Keep up the great work Joe, nice to see someone trying to change young footballers lives as not everyone gets a chance

    Thanks for the post,
    You are a poster whose opinions I truly value.
    Everything you said is very correct, especially at that age raw talent is the most important.

    I do have videos and I had some other reports purchased by clubs but last I am hearing this kid may be going to uniao.

    I don't think it stops there. I think a former member never really left.

    This is what happens when a forum has only two intelligent posters. People start to think they are the same person.

    Iv never seen you post before. You should post more!

    Goncalo Ramos with two goals for Benfica on his professional debut.
    Another gem to keep tabs on.
