Recruitment Policy

[stortfordred]

In today’s press, de Zerbi states that he’s getting ‘used to working with algorithms in the transfer market’. But adds that he wants to ‘watch the player, to understand that the player has the right quality and characteristics.’

obviously Brighton’s  transfer policy has been very successful and relies on data and a recruitment team which is constant and not subject to the vagaries of hire and fire. 
it only seems like moments since we regarded clubs like Brighton (throw in Brentford, Brighton et al) as rivals or indeed inferior. Their recruitment policies have allowed them to kick on. 
 

Does Tinman have this great relationship with Algo? How much a role does data play in our recruitment? 
 

Our youth policy has paid huge dividends this season and is really satisfying.  
 

If we can hang on to our best young  players, then great, but in reality we’re a selling club. Therefore it’s stating the obvious  that getting the right blend of recruitment is key. 
 

How good is our version of Algo?

Tinnion recently spoke at the Senior Reds lunch and he basically said what you’ve quoted in your first paragraph! He did admit he uses his eye, whilst other analysis the statistics to produce short lists for Nige.
