Youth Pulls

No extra bids for Haran so sold for £1m. In hindsight I'd have probably kept him but if I decide I want a trainee I can probably pick up someone almost as good in two weeks for a third of the price so can't really complain.

Hopefully the other fella will pop this week then I can decide whether to carry on single netting him or sell and buy a cheaper one to single net. Respectable consistency seems to have a high value at this stage of the season.

I've also noticed with the new ME that fielding has become a bit more valuable.

That's Evelyn screwed then...;)

and yet my remarkable wk missed a dolly.
 
Another crazy buy.

I was in for a Resp / Med Bat (Med stamina) £867 wage, went for 1.5m aaaaarrrrggghhhh.

What is the matter with these people :headbang:
 
Surprised Unknown Pleasures didn't sign him. If you don't know what I mean do a search.

His HT players were even funnier.
 
We'll start off with the all rounder I bought in the week - thought I paid a shade too much at $7 mill but maybe not. Was hoping both the primaries hadn't popped before he listed and it seems I was right (and lucky) :happy:

Currently 1 bat 1 bowl but I could throw another net at him if someone thinks it is worthwhile

Damn ok to edit later. Wouk you throw another bowling net on the ar?
I probably would go 2 bowl, 1 bat, 1 field, 1 stamina if you have the nets. Depends how quickly you want him up to first team level. Nice player though.
 
Not bad, might stick him on a single bowling net now Macca has finished training.

Pulled a resp/comp fast bowler with med stamina. Should get a tidy enough sum for a third week pull and as his secondaries are minimal I suspect his 800+ wage will interest a few people

I see Muse has a cheeky 25K bookmark :D
