too high :-s

after all efforts to make him one of best big men of belgium

it's too unfair :-p

well... this isn't hattrick and I noticed a long time ago that youngt promising players here cost a lot, and when they get a little older and are trained, they aren't worth much more, just a little more.
The good part in BB is that even though the players don't gain much in money value, they do improve a lot better on the field, where they belong.
Players belong on the field, not on the TL.

To make this short: training doesn't bring a lot of money in this game, just look at it as a small extra each manager can earn on top of his earnings due to winning and moving up the ladder, not as a main money income.

[... and yes I choose to let myself sink down the ladder to train youngsters, and yes I am crazy... ]

I would never buy this guy, not even for 1M, as I am only interested in shaping the perfect players.
For a C a jumpshot should be no higher then 5, so he already is 2 levels too high. This will set him back on other skills when he reaches his potential (btw, didn't he reach his potential yet??). His blocking is so far behind he will never catch up, so it's impossible to shape him in the perfect C anymore. ;þ

Hey guys

I need a motivated manager to continue with Adriaessen

His salary is high for me and i have an other project for my team

I think his price is good and he could be at his place in BBL
What do you think?

i hate to say it, but since the TL has collapsed when BB raised salary's by 10%, the prices of all players have dropped, but in particular for C's.

most people don't want to pay more than 50k for their C, first div teams sometimes want to go for 100 to 150k C's. you'll need some luck to find a new owner for him, but i fear that you won't sell him for more than 2.7M

if you look at the C's out their, you'll see some that look like Adriaansen with a TL price of 2.5M and even they don't haven't had a bid yet.

all you can hope for is that the Belgian NT flag will help him get some extra cash, but i wouldn't expect someone to bid that kinda of cash for a C at this point. 3M might work, anything above that is very lucky. but i do hope that you'll get that cash for your player tho.

ps: LoD, i disagree with you on the JS idea. some C's are better for inside play's, others for outside tactics. example: if i play outside tactic, i'll want to have high rebounding and high ID on my C's. Shotblocking will be usefull then, but his IS lvl can be much lower, since he won't need it that much. however, if he's got JS and a bitt of JR ( like Adriaansens) then that C can take longer rang shots, creating a bad match-up for the defending C (especially if the defending C has no OD) and thus, not only could he make a longer shot, but he'll get more easely to the FT line aswell, while bringing the other C in Faul trouble...

i've probably got one 'perfect' C like you'd have em in mind, but the rest are all on the team because they got a special advantage (that includes Liessens, tho he'll most likely will be replaced next season by the 'improved' version of Liessens)

The collapse in prices and the 10% raise are two independent things I think. At one time there are just too much good Cs, just because everyone can train a C. This due to the fact that its easy.

To go a bit off topic : indeed, players should only be sold if you cant use them anymore not because they have a too high salary (own fault :p ) or because you want to get profit from the training (profit is too insignificant or non existing to do this). So I kinda agree with LoD.

Even with a 5 on Ja the C can take ranged shots in non-inside offenses. He realy doesn't need a 7, and even though I won't argue 7 will always be better then 5, the fact that 7 is holding back other MORE important skills is significant.

You argue about the blocking skill? just don't. Many many manager have come back from their initial ideas. Blocking Is important in BB, and a C DOES need blocking. I'm even leaning towards thinking it's the most important skill of the C, closely followed by ID and rebounding.
No matter which defense you play, your C will always need his Blocking. So es I am worried if a C has lower Blocking and his JS is already so high he won't be able to get his blocking up high enough anymore because of that.

I hope you now see better what I mean by to high JS. the JS on it's own can never be too high, but it holds back other skills, and so it is too high. Maybe we can argue about that with higher potentials, where there is some more room for less important skills, but for a superstar, there is no spare space. ;)

:D

we won a game by going inside :D i could finally use the inside players :D

next Nt scrimmage is against U21 of Netherlands.

i've selected some prommising players, but i needed to create some room for them. for all those who's player usually play's in the NT, please know that your player will return as soon as the U21 coach asks me to give him is next generation of players.

for futher information, please look at the NT profile. i've supplied the information in english, dutch and french, so that everyone can understand what is going on.

I'm not sure this is the right thread (I couldn't find something more appropriate), anyway I wanted to wish Belgium a long road in the U21 tournament... you are candidate to win the "little" cup :-)

Today against Ghana it will be very easy for you, I hope we'll not lose by millions of points! Good luck for the tournament!

Dont let Amadou Dieng play... He might be told by revo he has to score some points in the other basket ^^

Good luck! Im shouting for the underdog tonight ;-P

Effectively it was an easy game against the U-21 Ghana yesterday but now the serious things begin ... U-21 France, the last European Champion, a team which should not play in this competiton but we'll try to in this game.
