Money Money Money!

[MrB]

I like selling lots of players in one go. May spunk all this dosh on a ridiculously good striker:

£2,464,280...?! Suits you, sir!

Blimey, for that kind of money, you can get yourself at least a supernatural striker... possibly an extra-terrestrial one if you look around enough.

I've generally got in the order of £1.6m for my magnificent strikers, to give you an idea of the going rate...

If you want to splash out on a very expensive striker let me know. I've a couple of world class strikers, who will be sold once they pop to supernatural

 

[chaco27saf]

jeez, I probably could sell off my entire squad and not even get as much money as you will for any one of those players!

Matt - as a fellow striker trainer, do you reckon that supernatural is one of those "tipping points" at which it is good to sell a striker?

I must confess that I've never really worked out what the best time is to sell a striker, although I've done pretty well with my two - £1.675m for a brilliant striker with solid passing and "unpredicatble" secondary, and £1.65 for a magnificent striker with weak passing (also unpredictable, IIRC).

My two current "front-line" strikers will shortly pop to world-class and magnificent respectively (next couple of weeks, I think), and I'm trying to work out when the best time will be to flog them...

Got to admit, I don't know the best time to sell. I'm working on the basis that they are getting on a bit for trainees and I don't want to train them indefinitely (as wages will get too high), and that I seem to have consolidated my place in my division.

Are you level IV yet...?

I'd like to bring somebody in before Tuesday!

Bids up to £2.7m net, should hopefully push towards the £3.5m mark. Though I must mention that I'm currently £650k in debt so can't spend the whole lot!

 

[MrB]

£2.5m *******. Perhaps a bid over the odds but I like Head specialty, he's got passing and has SP's if I need them. Could have probably got supernatural or extra terrestrial for the money but I'm an impatient sod when it comes to the auction system!

[Bucks_blue]

Jurjen van de Loo ?!?

Surely that has to translate to:
Jurjen is toilet
or
Jurjen plays like something found in the toilet
or just simply
Jurjen is sh!te!

Good luck with him!

Hmm... a wee over the odds, I'd say!

Note to self: make sure you train some passing before selling players...

 

[Hong Kong Blue]

NIce secondaries.

Its not just the passing, you can play him to wing and with his SP you may get a few long shots as well.

Laugh? I almost did

HKB, that was why I was prepared to pay a litle bit more, scoring and wing were previously a pointless combo but with the changes I can now add a bit to my wing attacks if needed when I play 5-3-2 with no wingers.

 

[Hong Kong Blue]

Assuming they sort out the forward to wing bug*!
