I would describe you as a guy who likes having petty arguments on forums.


you are right, it isnt worth it talking to people who make discussions on the forums personal.

Fine. You're incorrect in your assumption on my perspective though, although I can see why you made it.
It's all to do with promotion strategies. Training a club-drafted player who will give you a merchandising edge through representing the NT/U21s is good strategy. If they aren't good enough to either make the NT or be a star player for your club at the end of their training, you'd be better off forgetting you drafted them and simply going on the Market to find a trainee that's the best fit for your training strategy.
Hence, my advice is that this was a player best sold.
Fluff is right, he could be trained into a half decent centre - but other than the thrill of it being a draftee - it's not the smart move.

P.S. Sell and buy back is a smart strategy if you have your club set up well enough to generate the cash to pay a short-term premium on the buyback transfer fee!

Eminence, that is the kind of response that stops you being a great u21 manager.


Comments like this are counter productive my friend, regardless of your experience


Ah yes, the difference between a good and a great manager. On reflection, I'd have been better BB-Mailing Eminence rather than rebuking him pubically. In the context of how long I've known him for on here, it's not as rude as it looks. Honest.

Kind of, we formerly used BB-stats to go through and find/contact potential players, now I use the US salary database as it weeds out players on bot teams for me. If you'd like I could post the list of top prospects here :)

He looks a great trainee with some good secondaries. Just make sure you do a lot of passing training!

He is fantastic in my opinion. If you were going to pick a low stat passing is the one as it goes up so so quickly when you train it and it will take his handling up a notch or two either.

if you were going to be thorough about this kid you could mix in some ID training, but his SB and other inside skills are great for a guard starting out.

are you able to one position train him? have you got a level 4 trainer+

i love him to bits :) reminds me of my player Gascoigne except your player skills might be a touch higher than his when he started so if i can do it, you can!!
