Subject: Bargain or Robbed? You decide

No idea of talent, I am about to send his previous manager an email but my pace training should show me his talent so either way I will find out but my fingers are crossed so that I can find out his talent. Hope he is really talented.

the slowest pace trainer i ever had was a 17 year old who took 4 WEEKS to get off hopeless pace. If it's more than 2 weeks, you might want to spend another 3k.

Normally I allow pace from 1-3 weeks at tragic - unsat. level but if on poor+ I can allow 4 weeks but if anyone makes 5 weeks, he will be sold at the end of season or mid season. Thats how I do it really, might not be the best way but I really feel it is the right way.

being 16 i would take NCNs advice.

really? i thought a) you were much older than that, and b) NCN was no lobnger allowed to offer advice to under 18s outside of Naaarch

@NCN mini -cheddas you were robbed. they are crap at any price.

I bought a pack of Haribo Goldbears for N$23 which is around 1.50... i know it's a high price but i am out in africa, so i feel it was worth paying a little over the odds for a really top class product

£516k, again, training pace for at least a season. Bargain or robbed?

weak form, adequate tactical discipline
bookings:

solid pace unearthly defender
weak technique weak playmaker
weak passing solid striker

If you're extremely patient, you might make a profit on him if someone gets turned on by his def skill...

You are looking at 8 to 9 weeks per pop on pace from solid to around formidable with above average talent at that age...

a lot more than 8-9 weeks.

I am probably going to stick with pace training for a fair while, its something I have been thinking about all season. His def is so high that I could keep him until he is 30 odd!!! And by that time he may even random in def, pop in pace until he is around the brilliant area and maybe have had a random or two in each of the other areas!! Wishful thinking I know!!!
And i know he isnt your typical pace trainee as he is too old, but I couldnt resist!! A unearthly def for under £520k? Who could?

I have 11 records from various managers on that age from those levels and it is 8-9 weeks on above average talent players :o)

That's the thing, you like the look of the defender stat. I just feel that with weak PM and tech and not the fastest guy in the world, you might be quite frustrated with him.

Maybe, but I am only in III!!! He will do nicely in there i think.

You're probably right :o)

Well just the right pace trainee I reckon.

By the talent DCNeo told me hopefully he will be like this:

poor form, tragic tactical discipline


solid stamina hopeless keeper
formidable pace solid defender

Hopefully he can be like that by the end of next season so that I can sell him so that he can get some def training.

11k I paid and I am in the red bargain or robbed?

From the data i have from users on 20yo's training pace; it will take him 25.37 weeks to get to formidable pace.

Last signing for the season:

Nereo Gerbelli, age: 17
club: AFC Denton Sharks, country: Italia

tragic stamina tragic keeper
weak pace hopeless defender

paid £12 000 and I only have £-113 415 left so its a massive amount of money. Bargain is that I was right to go out and spend this much on this player despite how much I have and Robbed is basically I was wrong to buy him.

Bargain or Robbed?
