Do I list or throw 2 soon to be three nets at him ?
 
If you need a WK then I would train. The WK net would bring the secondary into line pretty quickly. Not particularly high respectable but still a nice pull.

Although I need a batting trainee I've listed mine to try and take advantage of Week 1 silly season on prices. Will buy a similar player in a couple of weeks for half the price!
 
Current Strong wickie is Superb bat but 30 and no stamina. I think the signs are there that ME is changing to WK is going to be much more important

A couple of years training for this one and he'll be ready to play. Going for 2 bat 1 wk to start, correct ?

Hmmm, well Carbon went for £1.1m. My intention was to hold tight and pick up a cheaper trainee further down the line but then I got caught up in the silly season and picked up a new trainee WK for £1.6m. Probably overpriced but much higher wage than Carbon. Guess the way to look at it is that I've got someone who's going to pop to proficient very soon and can be Lamo's future replacement for £500k. He'll go onto 4 and ultimately 5 nets and will sit in the background for a fair while.

Not sure whether to keep or sell. May have left it a bit late for week 1 selling now. What do people think?
 
Yeah, you've missed week one training which is a shame. He's also fairly low respectable judging by the wage and the stamina. I would still be tempted to sell as a lot of people will see the £901 wage and think he's quite high and stamina is always well valued anyway.
 
Mrs BB pulled this guy, up to 1.45m at the moment, finishes this afternoon.

Comp W/K will take up a bit of the wage, also as you're always so keen to remind me with Evelyn, HE HASN'T GOT ANY FIELDING :)

Seriously though, he's quite good for that price.....

Yep, noted! He'll go onto 2x bat and 1x stamina, fielding and WK. Will see the secondary shoot up so will have to sacrifice fielding at some stage but would hope to get him to mediocre.

Checked the tool and the longest I'll wait for a batting pop is 3 or 4 weeks and I reckon it will be quicker. If it's not then it means he's very close to respectable WK.
