    I’ve always said United scouting team needs to be taking a clue from Ste… Ste’s scout report is actually the best I’ve seen… Well detailed and if he tells you the player is good, then he is good…

      @@brun4775 Amrabat had a bad start because he was played out of position. And Ste never said Amrabat is the solution, he only said Amrabat is a good option as at that time and I don’t think he was wrong.
      Also, if Amrabat was very bad like you claimed, United fans like me won’t be requesting we buy him for 12million on a permanent deal as a back up option.

    My favourites were Fabian Ruiz and Carlos Soler who PSG went on to sign both for £40m in total. Now Carlos Soler hasn't worked out, but he was £15m but they've got Ruiz who cost £25m and has been sensational and you can see it in the Euros for Spain.
    Definitely should do a report on Maxence Lacroix, French centre back for Wolfsburg next. He's too good and has 1 year left on his contract. If United were looking at 2 centre backs I.e De Ligt and another, he'd 100% be my choice. He profiles well on defensive metrics not at the top, but consistently near the top.

    Seriously, I love your work Ste, but on my opinion you can't do a video like this without touching in on some of the not so good ones too.
    And there's plenty of classy ways to do that, to further prove your point as well.
    Example, you could show a couple of your not so good ones, shown the price that you could have gotten them for, and a realis price they still could have been sold for.
    Then compared that again to the price of trying to get them after they've turned good.
    Great work as always Ste, just felt this video missed a section 👌

    Ste, is there any news about left backs? We don't seem to be linked with any, but I think we need one. Can you do a scout report on Ferdi Kadıoğlu from Fenerbache, who's playing at the Euros for Turkey? He's only 24, can play LB,RB and CM and is good going forward. He even passes the ETH/Dutch test, having played for the Netherlands at all levels up until the first team, and looks gettable for €25-30m. Arsenal and Dortmund have both had bids rejected, so we could do the same as when we got Martinez and Malacia, by sneaking once other clubs have set the price.

    Utd and other clubs would have looked at all these players in a lot more detail.
    Schlotterbeck is a perfect example...if he was as good as Ste makes out why did dortmund sign him instead of the elite clubs? Average player for an average club. Most of these players wouldn't move then needle for Utd
