Subject: Bargain or Robbed? You decide

Bought this player as a replacement trainee for Parrish. Cost me £202k:

Olívio de Andrade, age: 18
value: 48 900 £, wage: 690 £
club: Springfield Wanderers, country: Brasil
solid form, tragic tactical discipline

weak stamina, tragic keeper
solid pace, tragic defender
good technique, average playmaker
good passing, average striker

Thoughts?

a tad expensive, as a def trainee(if thats what yuor doing)

pace seems very expensive atm, if its a mid your after then a few levels of def would of helped.

i think 125-150 would of been a godd price, if hes talneted though he is woth it

I am a mid trainer :) I know I overpaid a little but I only intend to train passing and pm over this season and next (with some stamina in the off season) and this guy looked too good to resist! Its a shame what a bit of money does to someone....

youve still got loads spare though, if i were you id try to see if i could get an 18yo thats would fit perfectly into your training that would cost around 500k, as once trained they would bring in a lot more

I have 2 juniors at excellent or above coming in the next few weeks though. I can make my money back on him in week 1 or 2 of next season if he isnt that good a trainee.

i was gonna say if you buy a striker tech should be just as important as striking in div III

whoops. I got carried away and bid £850,000 for a divine keeper that I didn't really want, not really expecting to get him....but did do....

problem is his pace is only weak....

Well, he is only 21 years old....Maybe you should consider a season of pace training very soon??!!

Yeah, but thats alot of money that you didnt want to spend though!! I would love to be able to accidently buy someone for £850k!! I will be lucky if I could accidently buy someone for £8.5k at the moment!!!!

lol, and I wondered why you and the guy from Lesne even bid on him with a salary like an incredible coach o.O But if you get him to solid pace or more than that, maybe you can sell him for more than you bought him for. ^^

I was flahsing through sokker very very quickly as my wife was ranting at me, and went for the "shall I shan't I? approach", and bid for him.

He's worth the money if you are training pace, but I only train pace occasionally...

P.S.

I am now totally skint. It was all of my money. I'm a fool!!

Paolo Aragno, age: 17
value: 69 250 €, wage: 1 150 €
club: loops, country: Italia
adequate form, tragic tactical discipline


hopeless stamina, tragic keeper
excellent pace, hopeless defender
average technique, weak playmaker
weak passing, tragic striker

payed 50k euros.
manager told me he has a 4 week talent with formidable coach?
I'm training pace, technique, passing, playmaking and defending for the next 5 seasons.
I think he is a bargain if talent is right? (should reach incredible pace by the end of this season if its true)

very good, 4 week with formidable is very talented

yes, a very good bargain. Problem is that he will play friendlies for many seasons until you can use him in league. But I think he is worth it. If you bring him to incredible pace then the problem is, he will cost you a lot of wage and if you do not intend to sell him then, will still be quite useless for your team.

You should have upgraded your stadium :P.

If you're making a last minute bid for "Idiot of the Season", I'm afraid I've got that market cornered.

You can always sell him in Week 1 of next season for a large profit, or now for a small loss.
