the second guy costs no way 500k. did you look on the transfer list this week? i have seen several english rookies go for 200-250k that I would consider training.

we arent even talking about NT level players, but I find it very hard to believe that you would consider training such a player. with such low ID, IS, JR etc etc etc even these levels at inept (level 4) or mediocre (level 5) make a huge difference and they dont cost 500k, and this guy doesnt even have that. there is a huge difference if a player has level 1-3 in IS and OD or if he has these in JS and DV. IS and OD hardly pop when training other skills, but JS and DV do pop alot more often when training other skills.

you are right, maybe because it is your own player, because it is a rookie, the player has a sentimental value, i have never felt this for any off my players, but I can imagine for this reason and for this only reason you train him along 2 others. but please feel free to post the player on the forums and ask them if people would buy him to train him and i am sure 80% off the players if not a higher % will say no.

imagine this guy has the right height for a guard trainee. this guy wont sell for more than 200k-250k. I have seen these players many times on the TL that have the right height, also for big trainees.

ps i even think with the wrong height this guy is better trainable than the other guy, whom i believe isnt trainable. respectable IS for a start on a guard is not bad, and it is at some point trainable to a high level.

show me one that has higher skills than mediocre (level 5) and that goes for 400k and i will shut up forever.

(9256889) started at 1 IS. Now a PF on Canadas NT.

ok, i am out off this discussion for good. we are talking about what makes sense to train and what doesnt make sense. we arent talking about the one or two exceptions on this rule and whether it is possible to train a guy with 1 IS up to NT level. EVERYTHING!!!!! is possible, is it feasible NO!!!!

good luck with training players like the first one.

^^^what astra replied to me.

Sorry accidentally deleted your message astra. Stupid touch screen phones.

i am not talking in this discussion about NT players not even U21 players and not even top league players. I believe that the first player isnt worth it to train, not even for a small team. Guess some people would train him or think it is the right thing to do and train this kind off player. I cant say anything else, than that I believe it is a mistake. What people do after that is their own decision.

My post was about tall 18 yr old PFs with Superstar potential. It would be different for a different set of criteria. You are totally missing the point.
Your advice as U 21 manager has to take in starting age, skills, height and potential if you are going to recruit more trainers producing NT prospects.

Generally speaking, mediocre or better JR, OD and Passing on a PF trainee is a Good Thing.
On a Centre, for instance, it is a bad thing to have any JR as it means your player caps earlier than he would otherwise.

I think it's worth me stating here, that I am 100% behind the U21 management team. But, you can always improve.

Don't worry, we are always looking to improve:) And discussion is also always good, even if sometimes not everyone agrees it still makes us stop and think:)

I like smileys :)
