Subject: Season 17 Youths

glad hes promoted and not playing there anymore :)

I was tempted to keep him in for one more week :)

well someone pointed out to me in intl that you can keep them till tuesdays match, then promote and play wednesday in the friendly anyway!

I've kept my keeper trainee when he should have been pulled last week, basically because I haven't got another keeper.

we have enough irish U21 trainees anyway...
and mcmanus shud make the NT for the next age too anyway.. so thats covered also

wow - nice

sorry to burst your bubble but hes worth a fortune, what level was he when you pulled him?
also give us 2-3 days advanced warning when you want to sell him and ill raise some funds


my youthschool was -14 pops and +4
what a lovely week eh!

He was a brilliant when i got him. So he's a good pull? Im training defence at the moment. Think I should keep him and train him? Or sell him?

up to you.. as i said.. hes worth a nice bit of money now :)
and depending on your coaches how well he will be trained. hes a midfielder though definately. although a few levels of defender wouldnt hurt. im going training defender for 6 more weeks, pace for a season or more, then PM and other mid skills, so hed fit in nicely

if you are listing give me 24hrs notice and il sell someone to fetch another 2 mill just incase it gets crazy bidding

As national coach I'd advise selling him unless you have a top training set up, to give him the best chance of getting into the NT in the future.

But he's your player and your club comes first, so if you want to keep him then by all means do so

also the fact he will fetch a nice bit of money now i think :)

youthschool is finally beginning to pay for itself :)

I don't see why he's exclusively a mid tbh -he's a defender as much as he's a midfielder.

@JoeMc - what level are your coaches? Like the lads have said he'll benefit from a top coaching setup but if you're not far off that it night be worth you keeping him on.
