It was a pleasure to be invited to the 2026 Football Strategy Forum hosted by FOCUS Sports Business School, and to take part in such insightful discussions.
After 24 hours of reflection, one idea stands out more than anything else: the importance of vision.
For any football organization, establishing a clear and unified vision must come before everything else.
Data, Africa, emerging markets, youth scouting, lower leagues—these are all valuable tools or differentiations. But without a defined strategy and structure, they risk becoming noise rather than impact. Their value only emerges when they are aligned toward a coherent objective—whether that’s sporting success, financial growth, or a clearly defined balance of both.
That vision must not only exist at the top, but be consistently translated into every level of the organization, guiding decision-making and daily actions.
It’s something I’ve spoken about on X countless times before in various posts, and it was reassuring to see this perspective echoed by many experienced professionals across the industry with a much broader range of experiences in the game.
Because ultimately, tools like data infrastructure, AI models, and recruitment systems are only enablers. Without a clear direction, they don’t create clarity—they create distraction, confusion, and over-stimulated decision making systems.
Everything starts with knowing exactly what you are trying to build—and ensuring everyone within the organization is moving in that same direction with every decision they make every day.

I’ve written before about the pros and cons of live scouting — and I stand by this: at its best, it’s an incredibly powerful and irreplaceable tool. But used incorrectly, it’s not just inefficient — it can actively lead decision-making in the wrong direction.
One area where I strongly disagree with its use is the screening phase.
Live scouting is exceptional when it comes to final, decisive judgments. But as a talent identification tool at senior level, it carries significant risk.
Why?
Because of the context surrounding it.
The journey, the stadium, the atmosphere, the simple fact of being there in person — all of it elevates the perceived importance of what you’re watching. That emotional and experiential weight can unintentionally override more objective inputs like video and data.
One live viewing — sometimes even a brief cameo off the bench — can catapult a player up a shadow team.
Meanwhile, in a video or data-led process, it would take multiple matches to build that same level of conviction.
That imbalance is dangerous.
To be clear, this isn’t an argument against live scouting. Far from it. The most effective scouting structures place video, data, and live observation in harmony, each serving a distinct and complementary role.
But in the screening phase, over-reliance on live scouting — with all the heightened sensations it brings — risks assigning disproportionate weight to a single, highly contextualized moment.
And in doing so, it can distort the broader, more reliable picture built over time.
——
How do you approach live scouting in the screening phase — value-add or potential bias?

JELANI REN MCGHEE
🇯🇵🇺🇸
2008
ST
RB Omiya (JAPAN)
JAPAN U17
Jelani McGhee is a physically dominant and athletic centre-forward who unveiled himself on the international stage at the FIFA U-17 World Cup with Japan, making impactful appearances off the bench. Already dominant in his domestic league in Japan, he is part of a new generation of binational Japanese players, a trend that is becoming increasingly prominent and adds an interesting dimension to his profile.
On the pitch, McGhee stands out for his ability to impose himself physically while remaining a constant threat in transition. A powerful striker with strong running capacity, he combines speed and strength to attack space aggressively and create danger both centrally and from wider areas.
One of his key strengths lies in his ability to receive and immediately orient his body toward goal. His first touch often sets him up to attack forward, allowing him to quickly exploit open spaces with his pace and power. This quality makes him particularly effective when drifting toward the right wing, where he likes to receive, turn and drive directly at defenders before delivering a cross, drawing a foul or continuing his run into the box.
Despite his attacking profile, McGhee shows notable defensive discipline for a striker. He is willing to track back, contribute to defensive phases and actively participate in pressing sequences. His work rate off the ball adds value to his overall profile and reflects a strong team-oriented mindset.
In physical contests, he is comfortable engaging defenders both on the ground and in the air. His athleticism allows him to compete effectively in aerial duels, with the potential to become even more dominant in this area as he continues to develop. He uses his body well to hold off opponents and create space for himself or his teammates.
With the ball, McGhee is capable of making a difference through direct actions. While he may sometimes appear slightly heavy in his movements, he still possesses enough technical ability to eliminate defenders and open shooting angles. His capacity to carry the ball forward and attack defenders head-on makes him a difficult player to contain in open space.
He also shows promising playmaking qualities for a striker. By dropping deeper, he can help link play and deliver well-weighted passes into wide areas, particularly to release wingers. His passing ability, often underrated, adds an extra dimension to his game and allows him to contribute beyond pure finishing.
In front of goal, he is relatively composed and capable of converting chances, although there is still room to develop greater consistency in his finishing.
Overall, Jelani McGhee profiles as a powerful, direct and hard-working striker, whose combination of athleticism, verticality and developing technical qualities make him a constant threat. With refinement in his technical consistency and finishing, he has the tools to become a highly impactful forward capable of influencing both transitional and structured attacking phases.
