Yes, it's a good player AND he's Belgian, BUT i find the price really excessive relative to his qualities and age.
Furthermore, the owner only paid 850k for him, so he hits a home run when selling him for that price.
For a lower price i would be interested, but at this price i'm not.
Because i always have managed my team in a healthy financial way, and won't give that much money to this player all of a sudden. I'm not the kind of manager to pay crazy prices...

And i don't think anyone will pay that amount for him, but that remains to be seen of course... only my opinion

Aha, so YOU are the cause of this BE and CZ bidding wars, shame on you :-)

I'll pass on this one, and as I stated before, he has been regularly put on the TL for unrealistic amount, so maybe it is wise to let the price drop a little more.

Jumping into the conversation :p

@AZ : what's wrong with Marichal ? He's a fine player, unfortunately his JS is a little too high, but all in all he's great. and you sold him for 3 M back then which was great if I reacll correctly ...

i agree. but i spent 2.4M to acquire him so i didn't win a lot and i demoted on purpose to train him out of position on the C to get his secundairy skills to that lvl. So even tho i got a nice amount of cash for it, he wasn't worth that investment on the long run. atleast not for my team.... He's a great player, one of our few guards who can play regardless of the tactic. But the investment i made to get him to that point only to sell him because i ended 8th despite having 10 wins that season was really painfull.

About Crauwels : Joe is right, he's NT material. He has been regularly on sale this season for over 5 M, so I never bothered linking him so far, but 3 M is becoming more in line. Anyway he still requires a good amount of training, I doubt he would be ready before his 29.

Their is GM info regarding that team. i can't dive into specifics but even the GM's are waiting for him to sell that player. Especially Bradok will be happy to know that GM's are keeping an eye on him after his past experiences with that same manager.

And Crauwels is NT material. But it would take a while and i doubt a BBBL team could make that kinda of investment without seriously having a good team around him. otherwise he could easely cost a demotion for a team...

Hey AthrunZala,

Why are the GM's waiting for him to sell that player ?
What is the problem with this manager, has he been doing suspicious transfers in the past ?

I don't think AZ will tell more, I don't think he will discuss GM stuff here is allowed :s

Very nice to see much more life around here, it's very pleasant :) Hope it stays that way.

Speaking of the competition, seems the "Big 3" on the red side is already digging in a serious advance, while things seem mure more tense on the other conference.

Bradok, don't you regret scheduling your rebuild now ? It seemed like the perfect time to fight for the BBBL spot ...

And I had tipped FTA as possible outsiders, they're giving me right so far !

Today I received a reply from the Czech manager and since we talked about it, I wanted to share it:

> - Try to have players from your own country: it gives bonus money from your fans
> - Look for multiskill players: one of my searches i always do to check for a player on the transfer markt is a player that has at least 5 in all skills.

Hi,
- I started small extension of area
- this is really super advice about nationality of players (from now I will buy only Slovak players)
- why are multiskill player better than normal player?
- training - currently I train especially PG position (I am trying to catch 48 min/week with 3 players), but after team rebuild it will be not possible...what are you training ? do you have some strategy for training?
Thank you one more time!
Milosh

Look especially at my second advice :p
I suggest you all give this advice to foreign managers ;)
