Subject: [U21] Qstarw The last World Champion

It's a funny thing this talent graph. I have a junior right now with +7(weak to formidable) in 18 weeks. That's like a 2.5 talent according with the graphs. Now that I decided to play lower league (and hopefully don't go up) I will probably have the chance to see how true the graphs are. He still has 7 weeks and he's 19 already, maybe it's not the best experiment.

In all fairness, I don't know why am I even getting involved in this conversation. Maximum I paid for players was around £2.7mil and it didn't make me any better. I don't think I will pay so much soon. In fact, I wish I don't. Ever. Plus, I don't have the kind of money you guys spend. £5,488,302 at the moment, probably my healthiest closing balance since I started on here.

I'm now following your plan of training my own or youngsters ;)

I'm not a fan of the talent graph , haven't used it for ages...
I give juniors a chance to see if the train well or not and have been surprised by a few so far.

Miller was who I was talking about, but he was special ;)

Don't we know already?

It's not a plan per se, it's a new way of enjoying this game. I was going through a stale period and I needed to change something. The things that I like the most about this game (besides winning games) are the tactical side and the green colour on thursday morning. Just like some like the 3rd place :)))

I had 35 pops (excluding stamina) in the last 6 weeks. 9 pops last week, best so far. And I'm not talking Piotr pops, tragic to good range, I'm talking very good to incredible range.

That's the way it was, I have 2 more 10 mill players, i've seen players go for 20 million, I always tried to buy decent young talent which hindered me in this game, I used to make profits on all players, last few seasons i've lost millions

I think that’s more market changes than bad buys…….keepers changed massively in price certainly.

I made my money trading players, but today, I'm not interested in that anymore. I prefer to focus on training, especially with players from my academy. I plan to sell some of the players I bought for the U21 England team. I'm curious whether I'll make a profit or lose money on them. I definitely don't want to play in Division III anymore because it's a dreadful experience. Now, I'd like to combine results with training at the Division II level. We'll see how it goes.

4.5 million i lost on Merson

I know that every loss of money is painful, but you have to forget about it and move on. I've also had such bad experiences.

Ha ha ha, I love it! It's like getting a commiseration phone call from the Nigerian prince that promised you the gold bullions.

(For those who don't get it: Merson was sold by... Piotr to BR for an overinflated price of £10.2mil. Add some commission after the £6mil re-sale on top of that £10mil.)

If anybody was scammed by a Nigerian prince that claimed to have gold stuck in a bank somewhere, please accept my apologies for joking about it.

I didn't take it that way from Piotr

I blame red wine, i also did it with M Le Tissier , brains

Another reason I sold him was, didn't like not training him as English.

Nothing better than an English red wine

Sometimes passion takes over.... and other times red wine doesn't help :P
