Well spotted, I don't normally reply to people with zero credentials, but I made an exception for you, be grateful.Ray Wilkins is on the Caf?![]()
Considering the best talent almost always are from other countries than England it won't hurt to have a few of those pesky foreigners with some knowledge of the respective talent pools.Yes, yes, foreign is best.

Wasn't the head scout Fergie's brother?I don't think we had one. Correct me if I'm wrong someone, but I think we had regional scouts.
Was it Jim Lawlor?I know we've always had a head scout but am guessing this might slightly different? Hopefully a first step towards creating a DoF role at the club.
Behave yourself, man.Yes, yes, foreign is best. It won't be long before Doris the tea lady is replaced by juanita the espresso senorita. That will be a great day. British is shite.
One week to clone Dybala? That's a tight schedule.Ed Woodward: "hey Ribalta, welcome to Manchester United"
Ribalta: "Thank you, Mr Woodward"
Ed Woodward: "Please call me Ed"
Ribalta: "Thank you, Ed, I am very grateful for the opportu...."
Ed Woodward: "Yeah, yeah you have 1 week to get Ronaldo, Morata, Dybala, Fabinho, Mendy & Dybala signed up and in a red fecking shirt before July"
Ribalta: "Mama Mia!"
That's to make sure he gets himOne week to clone Dybala? That's a tight schedule.
Fantastic formation.Triple pivot or isosceles stance?
Personally, I would go to crouching pigeon miffed moth.
A Spanish scout, with knowledge of the Italian league. Let's see what he's learned, because the potential is there. Particularly interested if he had a hand in Juve scouting and signing a talent like Dybala. Wonder what's his history, guessing it will come up if the move materializes.He's Spanish.
No belotti? SHAME ON YOU!yep. When Juventus started acting as cnuts towards our bid for Pogba he threatened to strip them of Kean as well. That's how good he is. He's a bit of a risky transfer. The talent is there but he's a bit of a bad boy. We can probably sign him up for a tractor or two if we want.
If you ask me, this is my list of players we should be interested in
first team level
- Bernardeschi
- Insigne
squad player level
- Berardi
- Caldara
- Gagliardini
- Locatelli
- Rugani
- Caprari
- Federico Chiesa (Enrico's son)
- Pezzella
youths
- Kean
- Melegoni
- Bastoni
- Dimarco
His speciality is South American and more specifically Brazillian players according to a Juve fan on reddit. He also said he was the most instrumental figure in scouting and negotiating for Dybala, Sandro and Vidal.A Spanish scout, with knowledge of the Italian league.

I have seen this mentioned a few times. Someone should explain to this Juventus 'expert' on Reddit that Vidal signed for Juve in July 2011... Ribalta did not join the club until May 2012.His speciality is South American and more specifically Brazillian players according to a Juve fan on reddit.

From the Juventuz forums. Is this true?United fans see "scouting manager" and of course associate this guy with a large amount of our successful signings. He's a cog. I read that he used to work under Benitez at Liverpool. Some of the crap they signed over those years...It takes a few things to fall into place to make successful signings, but with Juve we know that whoever has a particular role we look at players with a certain mentality as well as technical quality.
His CV:From the Juventuz forums. Is this true?![]()
Did he work before Torino?His CV:
Juventus 2012-present
Novara Calcio 2011-2012
AC Milan 2009-2011
Torino FC 2008-2009
Yes, but I think he was an opposition scout, in Spain and then England. When Mauro Pederzoli, (who worked as a scout at Liverpool from 2007-08) was offered the job of Torino's Sporting Director in 2008, he took Ribalta to Italy to work under him as a scout. Pederzoli again took Ribalta with him when he moved to Milan and then again to Novara. At least that's what I have been able to garner from reading a couple of pieces on him in the Italian press (via google translate).Did he work before Torino?
Lawlor and Marcel Bout are joint heads of scouting at the momentBehave yourself, man.
Dybala and Sandro were obvious transfers, I remember the Caf going crazy when news of Dybala wanting to move broke out but it soon became clear he wanted to stay in Italy. Sandro again was one of the hottest LB talents at Porto.His speciality is South American and more specifically Brazillian players according to a Juve fan on reddit. He also said he was the most instrumental figure in scouting and negotiating for Dybala, Sandro and Vidal.
It's Juventuz. Full of bitter 5 year olds, I doubt it.From the Juventuz forums. Is this true?![]()
I'd hardly say Woodward is on his ass. In my opinion he's been doing a good job, sure it's not perfect but he didn't work in football before united so it's a learning on the job experience for him, but he has a good business brain.I don't want any tucking in with guided tours all over the place and lots of handshaking, saying hello. I want this guy to start working from day one. I'm getting AWFULLY tired of only having 1 (ONE!!!) transfer deal done so far. We're in DEEP SHIT and Woodward is on his ASS. Get this circus rolling. There are other teams out there trying to get hold of players as we speak.

He will, no doubt about it.I think this guy will sign The Next Messi
I highly doubt Mourinho's behavior with the press has anything to do with his level of involvement behind the scenes.Aparently this guy was promised more resources and privileges at United, which he already had a lot of at Juve. I think he'll be Mourinho's right hand man in the transfer marker... Chief list writer and negotiator if you like. Mourinho looks uninterested and bored when asked about transfers nowadays and gives the impression he doesn't want to do too much in terms of recruitment.
There were stories that our scouts were left a bit bewildered last season after Mourinho didn't speak to them, even once. Hiring a man like Ribalta suggests a move towards a more DOF based system but with Mourinho still having the last say. If i had to guess how it will work i think Mourinho will tell Ribalta a profile of player he wants and Ribalta and his scouts will do the rest.I highly doubt Mourinho's behavior with the press has anything to do with his level of involvement behind the scenes.
But will he help us create the new Scholes ?I think this guy will sign The Next Messi
That's interesting, got any article on that?There were stories that our scouts were left a bit bewildered last season after Mourinho didn't speak to them, even once.

There were also stories that Mourinho didn't trust the scout suggestions much and went with information from his own network plus research he did while unemployed. If anything, that sounds to me like someone who wants a lot of input in the transfer process not to wash his hands of it.There were stories that our scouts were left a bit bewildered last season after Mourinho didn't speak to them, even once.
