looks good

I thought it was a little high with those secondaries. But if he gets 4 pace pops over 2 seasons, he'll be better than my current 25 year olds.

The defender is a great buy. ;)

the players who i hope to "grow" in pace seemed painfully slow this evening. But we won :)

Thats the main thing. :)

defenders are insanely cheap at the moment for the finished product guys.. great time to buy in my opinion..only i train defenders and dont have the cash, so wont be buying them :P

Just over 50k for this one. I think he's a fresh pull, and his skills suggest he might be talented. I think. Looks like I'm pace training for a while.

There's no way of telling at that age. He could easily be very untalented. Normal enough buy in my opinion and a good filler. Seems a bit of a weak pace trainee for you though?

Most of my cash is tied up in the first team, and I'm swapping from striker to pace, trying to do it on the cheap too :).

Similar here with the tied up bit. With the cup scheduling the way it is, unless you're phil i don't see the point in tieing up too much money in a B side. I'd rather have trainee first teamers than a set of reserves that win a few friendlies.

I'd rather have a profit on the reserve team than a cup run, I suppose that's what I'm trying to do now I'm training pace - but working out which players could make you money after a season of pace is tricky.

Got into a stupid bidding war for this one, he was 60 k , and then I looked at other players, and he was still going at 250 k. So I bid. And I got him. It's likely he's not talented too.

Stupid bidding wars.

value: 67 950 £, wage: 735 £
magical form, hopeless tactical discipline
bookings:
average stamina tragic keeper
poor pace average defender
good technique hopeless playmaker
good passing very good striker

Over the top for me....not by a huge amount though. £50k to £100k maybe.

That's alright i think, just gotta hope for at least some talent.

Just had word back from the previous owner, he's claiming 6 tech pops in one season. So a pop every 2 or 3 weeks, which is neither great or poor. A season of pace pops, plus a lucky training pop in tech + striker = a 19 year old with 9 pace, 8 tech, and 10 striker. Almost sellable at 19, 19 and a half then.

Sheesh, this is hard work :)

This is the last one for a while, I promise :) - 413 k, hoping to resell once he randoms in defender and gets a couple of pace pops.
