Same here. Still got the whole "the match is underway" bit up as well ...

 

[Shrimpersarmy]

Same here.

HT youth pull was a 400 TSI inadequate defender, 17 years old. Should sell but only for a few grand.

TSI 10 fired

Bloody hell, seems like I'll get at least one bidder!

Done now...

 

[Bucks_blue]

sufcintheprem what level is your Youth Team at?

How long have you been investing for and at what level?

It's at solid and I initially went with medium level of investment but decided that if I wanted to do anything in the game, I may as well stick the full investment in because in this type of game, that's where the money is (and it said to do so in a guide I read!).

I've been on highest investment for about a season. I think if I can get it up to excellent then I may be able to compete a bit better in my league.

In all honesty, I think I've just had good luck with recent recruits and expect the next few to be terrible and, no doubt, centre mids as I'm training PM!

 

[sufcintheprem]

Should also let Southend United FC know that their bid has been trumped by another. ORM, don't forget he has got solid leadership and I have been training his fitness. Not talking up my transfer. Honest.

(I think I'm more happy that I've actually got a bid for a player before the day of the deadline!!)

 

[* ORM *]

Don't worry your pretty little head. ORM has got this under control. I'm guessing that he will pop to solid def within 2-3 weeks unless the passing skill is bumping the TSI up. Prepared to price this other t%&t out of the equation if necessary.

Also just spotted Toddy's defender. Hopefully not to late to make a bid for that one.

Toddy, in your HAM (or whatever tool you use) is he down as a defender or a forward ?

 

[* ORM *]

I think I've priced the idiot out - Toddy's player is too old for me which is a shame as I'm switching to CA next season.

Have a wing-back selling in 7 hours time - already seen some interest and currently at £224K - I'll probably get nearer 280-300K for him. Was going to hang on for another pop or two but I need to finance some formidable forwards asap and this goes some of the way towards it.

Needs a week or 2 of stamina, but most people will be training that in a week or two's time in the close season.

Deadline for both is 24 Aug at about 19:30 hat-trick time.

There ya go - 20K - way over value for him and still plenty of time. I'll take it up to 25K if this idiot still counters. I still think your player is at the high end of passable so that could be good value for a quick pop to solid.

Tsk, don't make this in to an Essien/Chelsea saga!

 

[* ORM *]

So there I was at 19.08 HT time feeling very smug for myself having picked up a very decent 17yo trainee (ok I know he'll be 18 in a couple of weeks) AND a clown to boot for 25K.

So there I was at 19.09 HT time thinking the bidding has finished sign will pop up in a minute.

So there I was at 19.10 HT time with a puzzled frown. Then I chanced upon it.












24 hours too early.







t%&t !

I reckon he'll go for between 70 + 100K



On the plus side I've just sold my wing back (excellent def, pass wing) for 330K, about 40-50K more than I expected. Now 271K in the black with a home game this week and possibly a home cup game to come if results go my way. I feel a formidable striker coming sooner than I expected.

 

[sufcintheprem]

All I want to say is

 

[* ORM *]

The tide is turning on the real value of clowns but there still appear to be enough people to bid up for them. 25K was way overpriced at face value but I reckon whoever gets him will find themselves an 18yo solid defender within weeks.
