Hafnia Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Let's be honest, would you want to be a scout for everton? Probably given them a list as long as your arm only to have the sub £100k buys considered. You often hear about those ronaldo was recommended to Liverpool stories, and van persie was recommended as a kid, wonder what we will hear about? http://www.tribalfootball.com/ex-liverpool-scout-miller-reveals-van-persie-ronaldo-should-be-anfield-1063391 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Lewis Holtby is one we passed on.. he had a trial with us before turning pro in Germany if I remember correctly. Christiano Ronaldo was another: And Cristiano Ronaldo; I was approached by a guy called Tony Henry who is now working at Everton football club and he was someone that I played with at Manchester City and Tony Henry was working with the agent for Cristiano Ronaldo and I went to watch him play in the Toulon tournament which is an under-20 tournament abroad and he tore England to pieces. After the game' date=' the chief scout from Everton approached Tony Henry and asked if there was any chance to take the player on trial! I won’t tell you what Tony’s response was! He wanted to take him on trial! He then come back the Everton fella and said I don’t think he is going to be good enough to make it in the Premier League so I can only recommend that he goes on trial. And at the time I was so impressed with him I tried to get him into Chelsea. At the time I had a good relationship in Chelsea and I actually tried to convince Chelsea to take him and about three months later the deal was done with Manchester United, and the rest his history.[/quote'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
