How much of Ajax starting eleven was scouted and how much of it is from the academies?
How much of Ajax talent comes from inside the league?
Genuin questions.
Good questions that personally I'm not qualified to answer (hopefully one of our Dutch members can).
However, one thing from Charles Watts' article the other day about Overmars wanting the job struck me:
Overmars predominantly looks after the business side of things, while recruitment is left to chief scout Henk Veltmate.
So if Overmars is hired, Arsenal will definitely need to replace Sven Mislintat with a new chief scout, be it Cagigao or someone else. Had Monchi taken the job, they may not have had to fill Sven's old job since Monchi would have overseen the scouting network and academy.
