thats a real bargain I got here!
my other 16y old is also a real bargain.

the second one should be the HC as his keeper is better

yes cartman is right.
switch them.
the second one is the better main coach.

But, i have a formid (8) youth who popped with an outstanding coach.

---/---/---

Im hoping a slightly higher overall magical coach will boost him to pop quicker for his last two months of his youth training.

you can trust me if I say that you won't see the difference :)
from outstanding to magical the difference was about 0.5 weeks per pop and even that is not easy to notice.
the difference between those two magicals will be < 0,1

Fine, if he comes out an outstanding rather than an incredable then you owe me! :o)

the problem is that there is only 8 weeks left.
it will be very hard for the magical coach to make the last pop in 3 weeks.
this only depends on the sub the player has :)

Now your backing out! Your cards are marked sunny! :o)

205k for this bloke. I didn't want to get into a bidding war as I had a call so stuck 50k on the asking price. Have I overpaid ?

Walmyr Maestro, age: 18
value: 43 950 £, wage: 765 £
club: Norwich City Nil, country: Brasil
unsatisfactory form, tragic tactical discipline

tragic stamina, hopeless keeper
good pace, solid defender
adequate technique, poor playmaker
solid passing, good striker

He would make a nice def or striker trainee, so I dont think you have overpaid for him. As long as you are happy thats all that counts :)

Well, long term I'm happy I guess. Short term I only have 9 players that can cut it in series II. So building 5000 seats with a roof on one of my stands might have been considered a bad move. Hmm.

Probably! I would have built the team up first then go for improving the stadium. He will do nicely for you though, and you could always sell him in week 1 or 2 of next season and get your money back and some more :)

Looks a solid buy to me, striker skill could come in handy if you only end up training him in tech and pace.

thats interesting of you to say, I think you have a core that will challenge but everyone is improving in our division.

I will be interested to see how I match up the next couple of weeks after all the changes in my team this season
