Subject: [U21]LaBamba

I know but isn't Lechesa already 2nd best U26 GK after Maluleke?
As I said before Tavlibudine should be trained up tu 17+ but than again we have no U19 GK, meaning from at least 18-26y, that's at least 8 seasons those 2 will be our only GKs..

I know we lack some decent upcoming goalkeepers.. Would be extremely helpful if Tavlibudine gets maximum training.

I know his trainer, he said he will train him to maximum at least in GK..pace trainer should be easier to find later..

If there won't be any promising GK pulls soon we will face some troubles in 2 seasons in U21 with current U19..despite having some nice MIDs and very deep field of DEFs (both should be much better than this season) and decent strikers (obviously much weaker than now) we have no trained GKs..Unfortunately I was not able to find GK trainer for Walker and Moeti..at least Walker might be trained in pace and he still might be saved for GK trainer..

Best I've got for keepers in juniors is a solid 17 year old with 20 weeks to go.
Not the greatest talent but expecting him to arrive as a formidable or outstanding 18 year old towards the end of next season.

Hopefully he would be usefull..but we need GK now..As I said U19 team looks very promising it would be shame if it will be hold back by lame GK..

Review against Egypt (Misr)

That was imho terrible performance..lots of inaccuracies, bad decisions and the infamous launch and run bug was extremely anoying today.
Obviously Egypt changed the tactic and pulled the defense little down which didn't help us, but we still outshot them 22:4 (don't know where they got 4 shots, I remember 2 - 1 was goal and the other post). Our strikers are getting better and better at beating defenders by themselves which was the story today as they got zero help from the MIDs:-) They dribbled past Egypt defenders many times, but wasted quite a lot of good opportunities.

We got the win but it was not pretty to watch today and we were close to an upseting draw..we have to play much better against Cameroun..

On TL..I don't have a buyer for him yet, so if anybody wants to buy him..

Big preview against Cameroun

OK guys I would like to introduce Doglo as my assistant/scout and I gave him pass to our database. He is involved with our U21 anyway so at least he will have more relevant info.
So good luck and welcome officially on board:-)

Nice, welcome on board!

thanks a lot :-)

I am impressed about the players and the achievements of both the u21 and the NT for such a "small SK-Nation"!
I hope I can help a little, thanks for the trust.

Welcome, Doglo. :)

Thanks Marc :-D

On market for decent price..Marc? You want to buy him for pace? I'll ask some GK trainer, or if you guys know anybody..but if we won't find anybody pace is the clear option here..

Fabien Lechesa, Age:21

Value: 1 565 500 $, Wage: 15 000 $
superdivine Form, formidable Tactical discipline

formidable stamina, brilliant keeper
brilliant pace, average defender
average technique, adequate playmaker

I've put in a bid at the asking price. He can use the pace and my team can use a shot stopper!

Up to R28m now. Let's hope the buyer will train him.
