[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks. Still not clear to me that Ajax has so many "full-time" paid scouts, but agree that US soccer could allocate more resources to scouting.
DA  still seems a good idea to me in terms of giving an opportunity to good players to play against each other. All European countries have clear hierarchies in terms of youth leagues. When you play there, you have a decent idea of your level.

Yes, question Ajax, but not USSF with its 11 scouts for 50 states...[/quote]

We can hire more scouts, but I think the problem is that the ones we have don't know what they are looking at or how to judge player potential.

Does anyone have the resume on any of these scouts?  Did any of them have a career overseas?  Where did they come from?  Are they American?

I don't care about licenses, etc., because those things mean crap. [/quote]
 
I know that one of these scouts is Thomas Rongen, the guy who said that Messi has low soccer IQ.  When he coached our youth teams, he dropped Subotic and publicly declared that he was not good enough to play for US U20 National team.  Subotic was offended and switched to Serbia and got to play in the world cup and became a starting CB for Dortmund.  By the way, Rongen said that there is only one full time scout at the USSF, others are part time.
