**HOOFED my first ever Notebook post**Nobby's Scouting Network - Bristol City

[BoroBukowski]

So by “scouting” do you mean you went to the match snd watched it and formed an opinion of a player? If so then I’ve scouted at least a couple of thousand players over the last 30 odd years of watching football

Do you think it's only scouting if you are hiding in the bushes with a pair of binoculars?

Ridiculous

I think that's called something else Bukowski but I really don't want to go down that route

 

[tonymcandrewshattrick]

Over the years I have scouted several players that have gone on to become full Internationals. Players who we should have signed like.........Wayne Rooney..

please tell us more Nobby. Where did you scout him first?

Saw him have a great game at The Riverside in the cup for Everton nobody had heard of him but he went into Nobby's Notebook at that point

I think he'd already played for the England senior team at that point. Not exactly flying under the radar.

If you knew anything about scouting you would know it's not all about 'under the radar' players....stick to stuff you know about like Love Island

Bristol City didnt really give us anything to worry about. Their goal was a defensive error and hopefully we can put that behind us. Looking foreword to you picking us a striker though. Perhaps one from QPR on Wednesday?

Yeah cheers, I will be scouting another player Wednesday night, hopefully MFC will be following this feature very closely

Keep an eye on that centre half who scored a screamer against us last season. Quest highlighted him as well.

Might just go for Albert Adomah for old times sake

everybody knew of him from scoring that goal against Arsenal before the cup game. I reckon you were born in 2002! That's some scouting for a new born. You certainly have some skills.

The only scouting you've ever done is the Dib Dib Dib version...
Thanks

I'll be scouting another star player tomorrow kid

Can you post your scouting report on Wayne Rooney? It would be interesting to see what abilities you picked up on from that game.

Look it was just a hobby at that point. I will try and dig my notebook out for you. I think I also spotted a couple of others around the same time. M. Owen D Beckham if you're interested

Haven't you heard of confidentiality policy Thanks

Michael Owen made his debut 6 years before and David Beckham 10 years before.

There's a difference between confidentiality and Walter Mittyism
