Subject: Bargain or Robbed? You decide

Your bidding sounds very disciplined :) I just bid until my overcoat runs out. At least there's a chance to dig myself out of debt with a decent junior pull on Thursday..

edit : overdraft ! Oh, the joys of predictive text !

Why an odd buy? Last player i bought similar to that is hypertalented and worth 10x what i paid.

I think he's a nice tech trainee reserve, seen you buy worse pace trainees in the past! :)

He'd be an ok tech trainee, except for there's nothing happening on the right-hand side.

Are you hoping for some quick randoms, or is he long term so you'll switch to PM?

I don't think jimmy does short term. It's meant as a compliment.

He has no pm, tech or def. Hes quick and can pass, but doesn't know when to. :p

My pace trainees would kick his ass. lol

Ah, but would they be quick enough to get to him to kick his ass?

Some of them but not all. :/

I think i could get his technique up to excellent fairly quickly so he'd have 3x excellent left side by late 18...do people not train playmaker any more?

I am about to train it again. ;)

I meant to put playmaker. Also, why sell the player you just sold if you're about to train tech, he was perfect!

Because when I traine Tech I train my 4 first team mids and 6 striker trainees. He fitted into neither category. Had I been in II.01 he may have made my first team midfield. ;)

I read on one of these threads that playmaker is likely to become more important next season, apparently.

Wasn't that the combination play which started this season?

Possibly. Can't say I'd noticed to be honest.

Don't worry your 17y is quite a bargain imo.

paid 750k, don't know talent, but will get training in the 3 str skills until a better english prospect comes available :) B or R?
