The Strategic Edge: A Multi-Phase Intelligence System

"My system is built on a clear objective: to scan the widest possible range of markets and distill them into the highest-quality, best-fitting targets for the club."

The Two-Pillar Methodology

1. Broad-Market Screening Instead of chasing the same players as every other club, my system begins with a wide-lens "Screening" phase.

• Massive Reach: We systematically scan 3 to 4 entire countries every eight weeks to ensure no talent is overlooked.

• Early Identification: The goal is to identify 70–100% of all relevant U24 talent in a region before they become high-priced targets.

• Efficiency: We can process a high volume of matches and data points quickly, allowing for a "always-on" scouting operation.

2. Precision Technical Scouting Once the screening identifies potential, the "Scouting" phase takes over to provide deep-dive technical and human analysis of the players.

• Multi-Report Verification: No player is signed based on a single good game. My system requires a minimum of six detailed reports from multiple scouts to eliminate bias.

• Positional Specialization: Players are evaluated against specific "Role Profiles" tailored to the club’s tactical DNA, ensuring they fit the pitch and the dressing room.

• Live & Video Integration: We blend high-tempo video scouting with final "live" assessments to confirm a player’s intensity, character, and off-ball movement.

Why This System Works

• Minimized Margin for Error: By using a structured funnel—moving from 1,000+ screened players to a final shortlist - we significantly reduce the risk of a "transfer flop."

• Data-Informed, Not Data-Led: We use raw data to find the where and the who, but we use expert technical scouting to decide the why.

• Market Independence: This proprietary architecture allows a club to find "hidden gems" in overlooked markets, providing a massive competitive advantage against wealthier opponents.

• Consistency & Continuity: The system creates a "Helicopter View" of the market that stays with the club, ensuring the scouting cell remains stable and productive year-round.

The Strategic Edge: Proprietary Data & pipelines

"I don't just find players; I build the systems that discover them."

A Multi-Phased Recruitment Pipeline

My tailored system is designed to move beyond commercial databases, creating a rigorous, data-led funnel:

• Phase 1: Global Market Scanning Uses raw data and custom-programmed formulas to scan a wide range of international markets for undervalued talent.

• Phase 2: Deep-Dive Evaluation Targets specific metrics tailored to the club’s tactical needs, ensuring a "360-degree" technical profile.

• Phase 3: Continuous Re-Evaluation A dynamic screening process that updates player potential in real-time, reducing the "margin for error" in final recruitment.

• Phase 4: Cultural Fit Screening Ensures that the "best" player is also the "best-fitting" player for the specific club identity and dressing room.

Proven Track Record & "Hidden" Hits

This system has successfully identified high-impact players who were overlooked by traditional scouting networks:

• Matthew Anderson: Successfully identified and integrated through targeted data-trail tracking.

• Rudy Kohon: Discovered at Betis U21 through raw data analysis and scouting when he was virtually unknown to other major clubs.

Why This System Works

• Low Margin for Error: By building my own formulas rather than using "off-the-shelf" scores, I provide a unique accuracy that others miss.

• Market Independence: My system allows me to find value in diverse, "non-obvious" leagues, giving the club a competitive advantage in the transfer market.

• Automation & Hard Work: As noted by club directors, the system is backed by a 24/7 commitment to monitoring and refinement.

Vision Management Performance

 Scouting and leadership:

“Robby and I started working together at the beginning of the football season

2022/2023. He created a group of scouts. He was the manager of a team of

international scouts and he even created an app to help the scouts to work

together in a same direction.
 

Before our work together, I was for 2 years in the French Club of Le Havre

AC. Now I am working for Rapid Wien. I am used to the professional football

environment and I was impressed by the professionalism of Robby and his

team.

To my point of view, he has all the capacity to work in a club as a scout. He

already have a very good knowledge of the football in a global way. He is

also capable to lead a team like he already did.
 

Personally, I’ll say that Robby has plenty of qualities as a coworker. He is

easy to work with, friendly but serious at work. He is organized and hard

worker and He is very interested by the football.

I would recommend Robby without a doubt.”

“Dear Hiring Manager,

With all due respect, I strongly recommend the opportunity for you to hire Robby Van

Thuyne for your team.
 

I am Ahmad Adam Mukhlis bin Sariman, currently the Head of Youth Development at Kerteh

Football Club. Robby has given me an opportunity for me to ply my trade in my native

country in helping football here grow modernly and into a more positive way. I am currently

in my second year at the club, and everything is smooth sailing.
 

During the time spent together at We.Are.Scouting (W.A.S), Robby has helped in various

ways in understanding how to write a proper scouting report. Not only that he helped me

honed my skills where, he constantly kept praising me for my work even though he had

helped me thoroughly with them. I would describe him as a person who constantly believes

in giving someone a chance regardless of their background. This relates back a lot to me, as I was the first Malaysian scout that he came into contact and initially wanted me to expand

my horizon bigger.
  He believed in me and gave me opportunities for me to learn and grow,

especially with my current club where he helped me in a way to secure my first paid role.
 

Even though it is not much, to a student like me who is learning his way in the industry,

Robby is a brother figure who takes care of his family and constantly wants what is best for

them.

Behind all this brotherly love, Robby is also a person who values the quality of work. Thus,

he constantly pushes us all to create a well written report for us to be able to use in the

future, regardless of where we are, whether it’s in England or Malaysia, he was there to lend

a hand and an ‘earful’.

His passionate quality in trying to constantly improve the things around him is what I adore.

From using paid scouting tools, Robby made his own version and taught us how we can

make ones ourselves.

I only have positives for Robby, he is, like I said a brother figure for me. If you need more

information or more incredible stories about Robby, feel free to contact me at +60-010-

“ It is my pleasure to recommend Mr Robby Van Thuyne for a scouting position at your club.
 

I have worked with Mr Robby since  June 2022 after  he had founded a scouting organisation known as We Are Scouting. This organisation comprised about 10+ scouts from different parts of the world who worked for agencies and clubs to provide data and video analysis .
 

Generally, Robby is highly aggressive in his work and always ensures that every task is completed before the deadline. He is self motivated leader and capable of motivating his team to perform well even under difficult circumstances.
 

He is so passionate in what he does, creative and he never stops learning new techniques  to make work easier for the team. He has got excellent knowledge of football tactics and he is good in modern and traditional methods of scouting.
