An independent scouting desk for football: player evaluation, recruitment intelligence and strategic advisory for clubs, academies and agencies.

Most recruitment decisions are made on incomplete information

Highlight reels, secondhand reports and market noise push clubs and agencies toward decisions they cannot defend later. TSB closes that gap: structured observation, contextualized data and a written evaluation before the decision, not after.

  • Is he ready for the next level?
  • Does the profile fit our game model?
  • What does the full 90 show?
  • Is the data telling the whole story?
  • How does he play without the ball?
  • Can she handle a step up in intensity?
  • Is this the right role for this player?
  • What is the risk if we sign now?
  • Who else fits the brief?
  • How reliable was that report?
  • What changed since last season?
  • Are we seeing the context or the clip?

Technical

First touch, passing range, execution under pressure, weak-foot use — observed across full matches, not clips.

Tactical

Positioning, scanning, decisions in and out of possession, and how the player reads the game model around them.

Physical

Observable output, repeat efforts and how the player's profile holds up as intensity rises. Never a medical opinion.

Role & context

Competition level, team style and role are weighed before any conclusion is written down.

Inside a TSB dossier

What a report puts on the table — and what it never will

Every dossier is built around the brief. It is written to be read by the people who decide, and to be checked by the people who question.
