Get Ahead on GBE Session 2, 1-2-1s & FTF14
Lots of opportunities to expand your knowledge on GBE & ESC player trading
Are you ready for the January window?
All subscribers to this platform are surely interested in what happens in the winter window, and I am prepared with a heck of a lot of information to share with you about the window, and much else besides.
If you’re working in talent acquisition, agency work, sports law or independent scouting, the Get Ahead on GBE session series is designed for you.
After holding a successful September session, the recording of which is still available as well, we are re-convening for the December session.

Fancy a more personal touch?
I have opened my diary on Thursday afternoons for 1-2-1 appointments.
If there is anything that you wish to discuss around GBE/ESC regardless of your position, there is a lot that I can help with in that time.

GBE Expert Hub at FTF14
After speaking at the virtual FTF12 and physically going on stage at FTF13 to address the delegates, I am pleased to say that we will also attend FTF14 as a company.
Unfortunately, I cannot be there myself, but our Head of Scouting
will be attending on our behalf having also been at FTF13 himself.The event is being held at AFC Wimbledon's ground and features a whole range of interesting speakers, as well as a great opportunity to network with other people in the industry.
Follow Football Transfer Forum on LinkedIn to keep abreast of the info ahead of the event.
Stay tuned this week for updates from South Korea, AFC Champions League, and Turkey.
I also have a special report on ESC slot players and where they are at in terms of their potential conversion.
