Youth Pulls

How close to Quality is he? If he's more than halfway then I would keep training him as he's ahead of the other guy. You could get the other guy to strong and sell.
 
Not far off each other then. I'd still favour the older guy though.

Very nice indeed. Franchise picked up a low respectable bowler who will be sold. Dross for the seniors.
 
Woo Hoo, best YP in a long long time. Up on the market for 250k, would hope to get 10 times that.

Edit - Up to 1.8m already :thumbsup:

I like that they're close on BTR but a million miles apart in terms of value! Nice pull.
 
What would your opinions be on this guy? Worth training? Or is his WK making him look far better than he is?

Yeah, you could get lucky and find he's base respectable WK in which case he would pop to respectable bowling quickly, though you could end up waiting 6 weeks to find out by which time he's a waste of nets.

Better to hope that someone get sucked in by the wage on the TL. Given that you can usually pick up a mid respectable for £300k early season there's no point wasting nets.
 
I wouldn't train. W/K takes up at least 635 of the wage. Put him up for sale.
Don't forget £250 of that is base so the WK adds minimum £385 max £875. So he could be at £790 ex WK which would make him high competent. But he probably isn't :)

My base respectable guy went for £825k, very happy with that!!
 
Tried to pick up a trainee, ended up getting two by accident. Combined price £900k which is pretty good but don't really have the nets to spare! Got to work out a plan, may have to stop Sargeant a level earlier than planned.
