Transfer Process - Analysis & Valuation
In the first part of this series we looked at scouting and how it has changed to become an analytical process in a room with software, in Spurs case Scout7, to assess players much more than the old visual scouting method.
Today both methods are employed so when we hear of a scout at a game we don't actually know who they ate scouting, it could be any one of the 22 players, as they don't give up that information. The press will speculate as to whom but that is all it is speculations on their perceived requirements for that club.
The head of recruitment and his team will analyse a player using software having identified them through an automatic analysis of data. he and his team may also have analysed a player who has been recommended by a scout or by the manager/head coach or the director of football through his contacts.
The manager/head coach will inform the head of recruitment of the type of players he requires and the head of recruitment will use all his resources to identify those players.
Added into the mix are the requirements of the hierarchy, as any manager/head coach is working to an agreed strategy from the club as a whole. That may mean loaning short term players or building a sustainable future, as is the case at Tottenham.

The transfer window situation
Once the players are identified that fit the profiles then the manager/head coach and head of recruitment then place each player in each position in order of preference, thus any player who comes to the club has been agreed by the manager/head coach.
The manager/head coach, the director of football, the head of recruitment determine a player valuation. at this stage a maximum valuation figure is determined and for players to be sold a minimum valuation figure is also determined. There will be input from the financial team and the board in this process so the additional figure on the committee could be any one of a number of people but quite possibly the head of football operations.
The legal team have to begin the due diligence process so that the club don't find themselves in a situation like the one French club Nice find themselves. They have signed Hatem Ben Arfar after selling Darío Cvitanich to Pachuca in Mexico but have been refused permission to play him this season as he has already played for Hull City on loan and Newcastle Under 21's. In France U21 football does not count as a professional game but in England it does. Due diligence would have avoided this.
It is only after this assessment and valuation stage that a transfer truly begins.
