Tottenham copying Liverpool's scouts?

Found this, written by a former Tottenham insider got an off the record interview with one of Tottenham's longest serving members of the scouting system.

Sheds some light on the whole issue:

“It started when we were at a Fulham match" our inside source told us. “I was sat next to a scout from Liverpool, one of their top boys. I asked who he was watching. He asked me who I was watching. I said ‘No, you first’, but he was having none of it and said ‘No, you first’. So I went back to him and said ‘No, you tell me first, I promise I will tell you after, please?’ This went on for most of the first half"

“At half time the Liverpool fella went to get a Bovril, but left his clipboard. I’m not proud of myself for what I did, but I had to look. On the sheet of A4 it just said ‘DEMPSEY’. It was even underlined. At this point I knew. I worked out why he was there"

“I’d never heard of Dempsey until that moment. Apparently he had been playing at Fulham for a while, but he’d slipped under our radar. I quickly got on the blower to Levy and told him about this Clint fella. We had to act quick, before the whole world heard about this Clint Dempsey"

But it wasn’t just a sneaky look at a clipboard. A young IT whizz was employed by Tottenham scouts to hack Liverpool computers and find out their targets.

“Liverpool had been buying unknown gems for years and we wanted part of it."

“I was round a mates house and I saw his son sat in front of a computer with lists of literally thousands and thousands of footballers – all right there in front of him! It had all of this information – how many goals they had scored, how injury prone and how loyal they were, even if any previous injuries were Red Inj or Orange Inj… everything we could ever wish to know! This database was like gold to us!"

“I asked him, quietly, if he could find out who Liverpool were scouting and he leant forward, rolled his eyes, took a deep breath, and muttered ‘yes’."

“Within minutes I had discovered that Liverpool were after somebody called David Villa. I’d never heard of him, but after a few clicks of a mouse the spotty 14 year old discovered that apparently this David bloke had won a World Cup!"
