Our recruitment process has changed, focussing on getting on youth on a free transfer. How I do it...
Player search - age filter - contract expiring (6months) - attribute filter. When searching attributes, don't over do it [thread] 👇
I have searched anticipation and acceleration. Just a couple attributes I find important. Set the values to a respectable number and search for your gem!
The aim isn't to find the next Haaland. It's to find a gem - someone who's more than capable or we can sell for profit
Now I'm on at 31st of December, I can begin to approach to sign the youngster I've shortlisted and scout in the previous tweet.
From here, I'll take a closer look, especially at their personality.
Just look at Hamada Alaa. 19 already 100 games. 👀we'd never come across him.
As you'd guess, all these signings went to my u21s for further development.
20 games 20 wins. We've made the u21s so good!
There should always be a future at Genk. If they players don't develop to be good enough, they'll develop enough for a decent profit

4 seasons at Genk. We've signed a total of 20 players (£83m) - sold 40 (£163m).
This window, trying to go further in the UCL, I had to break my record fee - TWICE!
Welcome, Nathan Collins (£12.75m) and Brendon Rilson (£10.5m) more info 👇[thread]
Brendon Rilson 🔥
We were on a search for a CM(a), somebody with high creativity but not useless out of possession. Months of searching and scouting, this AMC/ST had the perfect profile.
We're retraining Brendon to play in CM, who will add that creative spark. Wonderkid!
Nathan Collins 💪
My record signing. Always have my eye on Collins in nearly every save I've had on FM22 but this Genk team was perfect for him.
He's going to be a dominant defender in Belgium but will he help improve our performances in the #UCL?
