Subject: [U21] Lets get organised!

Lots and lots of striker trainers when you only need 3 strikers a season (2 x main 1 x spare) we need 5 defenders and 5 mids a season.......

I have just sold a couple of players and have £42m in the bank, but no english players to spend it on.. My youth school is presently junk too..

I have just sold a couple of players and have £42m in the bank, but no english players to spend it on.. My youth school is presently junk too..

I'd sell you my entire squad for that, do we have a deal ;-)

Sure, but I am trying to buy English only, hence my problem.. We are a dying breed it seems..
I saw 3 very good 16 yr old prospects on the TL today, none of them English.. I cant even overpay for English now..

Rather depressingly, I have 2 English players remaining in my squad ... I feel dirty :-(

It is hard to compete with an all English squad, true. With so few players left now, I might be able to buy my way to the Prem.
Who would want to manage the U21 or full National side...? Credit goes to both of them..

£42m would easily be enough to get to the prem. I think you may need another £10m on top to be able to win it though (although I suspect with your trainees you shouldn't have too much difficulty making that up).

I don't want to win things, just have a young team, lots of money in the bank and score lots of goals..

Might explain why I support Arsenal.

My transfer balance is +£90m now, so maybe when I break the £100m mark I will go on a run..

Thanks, yes it's been a torrid time, but it has'nt affected the main team yet! but it will.

Sitting on that much cash is pretty mad, but if it's there to train English players well then that's good. i can't decide on wether i should sell Shawcross (19yo incredible youth pull) i might let you have him if you are training defenders or mids? but he needs alot of pace, i may sell Currey (18yo mid) too.. i have 5 English altogether.

I have to sack this one:

Charles Gosling, age: 17
club: Massese FC, country: England,
value: 25 350 £, wage: 405 £,
very good [9] form, poor [3] tactical discipline,
height: 175 cm, weight: 68.4 kg, BMI: 22.33

weak [4] stamina hopeless [1] keeper
unsatisfactory [2] pace good [7] defender
unsatisfactory [2] technique adequate [6] playmaker
unsatisfactory [2] passing poor [3] striker

After 3 trainings he didn't pop in DEF.. and he's still virgin..

What was his talent on leaving the school?

I train strikers, have done since I started pretty much.
I have a Cypriot trainee because I lived there for a few years, and I consider Norwegian players because I am half Norwegian, but other than that I want English players.. just so hard to find good young talent..
I cant even waste money now.

What was his talent on leaving the school?

I dont know but what's matter? He's worst now.

Just for reference puropses... for example i no with 18yo's for me the minimum is outstanding that i would keep to train on.

I'd assume for me excellent 17yo would be bare minimum i'd keep, meaning a 19yo for me would have to be Brilliant so maybe a 16yo is solid on this basis? not positive since i hav'nt had many (it's all skill allocation dependant also)

But the basis i'd proberly use if i was a beginner or a lesser team would be 1 less skill on the lot.

Anything in here take your fancy? I doubt it;

Roadknight is the most interesting one to me, but even that is less interesting than the fact that you have Organ, Trebilcock and Priks (sic). Actually, Hancock and Shanks could also make the fnar list..
