is there any GK trainer in Malaysia??

This player is on TL now and he could be the 1st GK of Malaysia for some time. He only needs to be in training

Badrul Afzan bin Talib, age: 20
value: 975 000 zł, wage: 11 700 zł
club: Scorton Rovers, country: Malaysia
very good form, tragic tactical discipline


hopeless stamina, excellent keeper
very good pace, unsatisfactory defender
unsatisfactory technique, hopeless playmaker
adequate passing, hopeless striker

We have, as far as I know only one, and he only train U116 young keeper from Poland. It is much more cheaper compare to training local keeper. Only 3-4 teams in Malaysia currently can afford him, and none of them training keeper now.

This is the scenario.

so we could only pray that one of foreigner GK trainers will buy him..

let see, if I can buy him, he can play in cup games and friendly games in my team.

I will start longer pace training after 3-4 week's.

No I will not train his keeper skill, anyway I'm quite old manager with good coaches so he get nice overall training in keeper skill too...

that way we will get more time to search prober GK trainer for him...

of course it's better to train him pace than nothing. I'm trying to find foreigner GK trainer for him. but if i don't find anyone it will be good for him to train your team and sell when you will end your pace training

that goalie was little bit expensive (3,030,224.17 MYR), but he will get pace training in my team now...

If you guys find some keeper trainer who want's to train him, just tell me and i sell that goalie...

thanks for help

Thank you for buying the keeper. I decided to put the players on the transfer list as I doubt that I could train either one in their specific needs.

Most dissapointing thing is: I reduce the potential of my team by selling players I can't replace in the name of the NT but the prices received prevent me from replacing with players of a similar skill from other nations...

If I had the option of bidding and retaining Edward Abdullah, I would have, rather than allowing him to be bought for that price and not even by our National Defence trainer (unfortunately, Sokker does not allow you that luxury).

I guess I will be disinclined to put up players like him in the future provided I ever get more like him lol.

Sorry for that, I want to bid for him but have a hard time accessing the server yesterday. Have try my best for quite some time, at the end have to give up. I guess just a wrong timing.

By the way, what happen yesterday? Why so dificult to access, is it impact the whole sokker community or only Malaysia, or only certain area in Malaysia?

The game was incredibly slow yesterday... there were alot of games being played this week... and every other week for that matter

At least you able to login, I have tried for more than 1 hours, but I can't even reach login page. So, have to give up.

Hmm it probably wasnt worth it... i pretty much needed to log back in every 10-15 mins... and it was that slow...

about latest problems, we got answer from greg:

it was problem with haproxy - was working ok one www server but not synchronizing correctly when there are more servers (yes... it is designed to work on many servers :>). We just have oriented... It DOUBLED load on internet connections, so when there was 3000 logged on is was like 6000 was. So we disconnected 2 apache servers and leave the one active :> (+database of course)

We are investigating if it's a bug of haproxy or problem with configuration.

and todays problem's are because:

Damian is working on server configuration currently (to configure proxy + 2xwww server), so utill he finish there could be problems (and could be after too of course)

Same problems with connecting to Sokker for me as well. It happened today as well whilst I was trying to purchase a player to replace the one I lost :(.

Ah well, it happens.....

yesterday when I bought your GK, it wasn't possible to go in bidwar if you logged in online.sokker.org.

But this one was ok: 62.233.129.98/index.php this pages are very very slow but they worked yesterday, and you can't look your matches if you log straight in that server...

btw, do you know anything about Badrul Afzan bin Talib's talent?
