First off, I appreciate the feedback. I understand the importance of on-the-ground scouting, and I assure you that's a fundamental aspect of what I do. The reason I posed such a question here isn't to solely rely on the community for my scouting but to leverage a broader perspective. There's a wealth of knowledge and insight within the soccer community. Sometimes, fans, parents, or even local coaches can shed light on players who might not initially catch a scout's eye. By asking for just the club and jersey number, I'm trying to ensure privacy and ethical consideration for these young athletes.
I absolutely agree with you on the importance of proactive scouting. However, blending direct observations with community insights can provide a more holistic view. Remember, this is just one method in a myriad of approaches I employ to scout talent. Rest assured, I'm out there attending games and practices to see these players in action.
Thanks for your understanding and your shared passion for the sport.
