Not a surprise, if Chelsea haven't been offering us wheelbarrows of cash for them they must be crap.
No
No, he looks after loan players.

From the outside, a very surprising turn of events.
I guess, trust the club

This……sounds like a couple might have left and the dept restructured, but that would be a crap headline
Wonder what it's all about.
"It is understood that the excellent work of the scouts who have left has been recognised by Bloom and that Brighton plan to make appointments as part of the restructuring to take the total recruitment staff headcount back up to near its previous level."

Scouts themselves get scouted and then potentially share our data/targets with other clubs.

I’m your man!
Is it because we've bought ALL the players?!

Wonder if data negates need for old fashioned Barry and co watching with a bovril in the stands.

Perhaps it was time to refresh the scouting network, fresh pairs of eyes and a different view on Albion's needs

Whatever the club decides on issues like this, I’m with them 100%. Don’t need to know the details, simply if Tony and Paul think it’s the way to go, then they have my full support.

I first thought this but they would have to get the data in the first place somehow surely? Scouts watching and finding details out about young players maybe chatting to their parents, friends etc. Without tapping up obviously.

A different question, but it’s all very easy now I’m sure with tech.

I'm talking about finding it about his personality etc for the no dickheads rule. Or do we now just have people watching every single match in the world and going by video only? The data has to start somewhere.
