Subject: Pop's

He popped in def this week ;)

SLS was up there with the best ;)

Yep that's what got my attention but it's everything else that's the problem. I think when I put him into the database he was way down on where I thought he'd be.

I will show you his skill tomorrow

He's valued at 6.5

I reckon 8m ;)

Not for sale :)

I have 9. But none of my 9 are mercenaries like yours :P. All my English trainees are in house.

Next league game 6/11 of my starters will be own juniors.

Extraordinarily harsh assessment, we just want them more than you ;)

Same as you almost - I have 10 English trainees. 2 are 22 yrs old and were in the u21 last season. Rice at 21 is my next oldest but wont become an U21, thats ok though as at £150k I bought him late 19 yr old and he was far behind other keepers but is improving quickly due to talent.

6 are from my school. I am not convinced I have the perfect set of trainees though.

Shamefully only have the 1 trainee due to NT commitments but that might change after this season, and relegation should open up more spots/options. Pulls have been pretty good over the season though and should do well down the line at the other clubs, plus funded my attempt at the Premiership and stadium so well worth it.

Nice week for me:

11 Pops - 1 was stamina.
8 were main skill pops.
1 Plop which hurt tbh, striker now dropped to brilliant pace so urgently need another striker now. Barnes has popped in striker today though so is closer to the first team.

Form down 8 overall, now quite critical given the overall drop over the last 4/5 weeks. :/

Youths 3 down and 3 up. Not really seen the up I hoped on one player today. 16 yr old now V Good for 5 weeks lol

"urgent" at brilliant pace!

6 pops, 2 plops. None of the pops that exciting. Plops both in pace, one on my backup GK (fine) and one on a 30yo defender (boo).

He is my first 11 striker so to me that is urgent :p

Bear in mind I used to have 2 x triple superdivine so having one with brilliant pace feels bad, I guess it's all about perspective. ;)

My players are generally not the fastest so more used to those lower pace levels!

The Bruce should be hitting brilliant in pace soon, so will match your heady standards with him before too long. And with injury he is currently in the first team.

Barnes is my next for the 1st team, he's now Magical/brilliant/brilliant so not quite ready yet.

At that skill level hardly worth bringing a new player in though. Get the dregs out of the plopping striker.

1 double pop on a player, 1 stmina, a plop.

Absolute nonsense, pace training sucks so hard. I have so many players close to pops.
