Sorry slightly lost me there... Matti who?
This Matti
(19933515), you know, the fella who (together with their backup SG-SF) kinda destroyed our NT while being guarded by the best English PF ever trained :p
9 more stat points on MacPhorich this season and you are up to Innes level ;)
You mean 9 pops in 7 weeks while not knowing the sublevels? Still very possible depending on what I train ;). When I bought him I gave up the chance to ever having him on my main team. I would not have bought the kid on my second team if he had MVP or HoF potential
His 3 trainees have 2 x superstar potential and 1 x per. allstar. So I assume you guys are talking about training players in general and not for the NT right?
Yes Astragoth, I did say only one of them has an outside shot if others, higher potential players, don't get there and depending what I decide to do with him. My reply was more to rebuke the arrogance of people who feel entitled to patronise others on the basis that you need to have English prospects in order to be able to speak or write on these forums. Also it was meant to show that you can also train 3 players out-of-position, if they have enough stamina. My main trainee very nearly made it into the Chinese U21 (I was asked to train specific skills to have him in but decided to train secondaries instead) where all the rest of the big men had 35k-60k initial salary. But of course he's not English: he didn't cost millionzz!!!
I was talking about the NT, Lemon was teaching me how to train in general I think
Bovine statements are bovine. You gave us a spiel about training here
(264384.74) and it looked very patronising just because I said that there is people doing it just fine in D2 and that perhaps contradicted the absolute notion that you need to be in D3 in order to be able to do it (which I said here
(264384.72), the post you replied to). Of course Chinese is not English, but I'm not sure how that makes me unqualified to post here.
In all this you did not even bother checking that 3 trainees were given minutes, not 2. Training 2 prospects out of position is very doable. It wasn't meant to teach anyone anyone anything, it was meant to clarify that oviously 3 isn't equal to 2 and that training 2 and competing is very possible in D2 as it is in D3 (I've done it last season training at least 5 times out of position and competing, Park is doing it training 3 guys and competing). So yeah, the notion that you have to demote to 3 and play bots in order to train is puzzling and unsupported by any evidence whatsover.
Teaching how to train though seems a little like me e-mailing Manuel Pellegrini and telling him how to coach. (He doesn't listen to me either.)
Well not sure the comparison fits: Pellegrini has some trophies to show for his ability to coach, doesn't he? Besides it was not my intention to
teach anybody: I tried to argue that training 2 players is easy not only in D3 as it was claimed. The reasoning was not meant to be taken as the truth, but as an example of how it's possible to do it.
