What some good scouts can do ...
SC Heerenveen could easely take the title of 'Club with the best scouting network and most healthy buy and sell balance'. The last couple of years Heerenveen had bought and sold strikers like Ruud Van Nistelrooij, Klaas Jan Huntelaar, Afonso Alves, Marcus Allback, Giorgios Samaras, and now Miralem Sulejmani.
Time to make a balance:
Jon Dahl Tomasson
Bought for: €0 (Köge BK)
Sold for: €3.900.000 (Newcastle)
Balance: +€3.900.000
Ruud Van Nistelrooij
Bought for: €1.575.000 (FC Den Bosch)
Sold for: €7.000.000 (PSV Eindhoven)
Balance: +€5.425.000
Marcus Allback
Bought for: €1.100.000 (Örgryte IS)
Sold for: €3.000.000 (Aston Villa)
Balance: +€1.900.000
Klaas Jan Huntelaar
Bought for: €900.000 (PSV Eindhoven)
Sold for: €9.000.000 (AFC Ajax)
Balance: +€8.100.000
Georgios Samaras
Bought for: €0 (OFI Crete)
Sold for: €8.500.000 (Manchester City)
Balance: +€8.500.000
Lasse Nilson
Bought for: €625.000 (IF Elfsborg Boras)
Sold for: €3.000.000 (Saint Etienne)
Balance: +€2.375.000
Afonso Alves
Bought for: €4.500.000 (Malmö)
Sold for: €16.000.000 (Middlesbrough)
Balance: +€11.500.000
Miralem Sulejmani
Bought for: €300.000 (Partizan Belgrade)
Sold for: €16.250.000 (AFC Ajax)
Balance: +15.950.000
Gianni Zuiverloon
Bought for: €500.000 (Feyenoord)
Sold for: €4.000.000 (West Bromwhich Albion)
Balance: +€3.500.000
And we all know Danijel Pranjic and Michael Bradley will be the next ones to add to this list. Even more, it seems Monaco is ready to pay €8.000.000 for Bradley, while Heerenveen signed him on a Bosman 2.5 years ago.
So if we talk about great management, SC Heerenveen is an example to follow for smaller clubs :thumbsup:
