I eventually want this player to become a u21 player, he's a small forward. And also i want him to become a great shooter, but i know i have to work on his outside defense a lot this year, what do you think of this player and his potential? And also do you think he could be a u21 player?

That would depend on how bad things are in Finland, but without looking, I'd say it's doubtful. The U21 team is an arms race, and since your guy is already 19 and his best skill is only 9, I'm sure there are a fair number of better prospects in his age group. That isn't to say he's a bad player, but some defense of either sort wouldn't hurt a bit ;)

You could always send a BBmail to the Finnish U21 coach and ask him. The worst he could do is say no

I don't think his defense will be good enough to be an U21 player.

I'm inclined to just keep pushing his primaries (specifically ID) for the rest of the year, but I'm open to other thoughts.

Why not give him a bit secondarie training? If you dont want a mono skilled player you will have to do this at some time anyways. But if you do it later, his salary will be higher and you will waste money.
I would advise you to train passing to average or respectable. and train one on one for a few weeks. Handling and js would pop because of this too. After this his secondaries wuold be high enough and you would never need to bother about them again.

Here are mt two trainees, i have been training them since the beggining of last season.

He hasn't got the ideal length, but I guess he could have 11/12 in both ID and OD when he gets 21. Or do you think ID training will go to slow with this length? Or is something else advisable?
