someone in my series put his brand new star goalie that he just bought in the off-season, on sale already. so if you dont have $15 mil this guy is a lot cheaper at a mere $12 mil. you just cant use him for like 3 weeks cuz he's injured hahaha

I'm sure some Swede with $200 million in the bank will snap him up.

So this probably means that Yuma is no longer training keepers. Imagine having $30M in the bank to start a new training program!

He just is sick of 150k a week salary I would assume.

Actually, Yuma is in my series.

Yeah, you can't keep too much more talent on your team if you have to pay one player 150k per week.

that's like 3-4x the Gargoyles' payroll.

Well, I think it's more of a profit thing. People are going to pay $15M for Jude whether he's 20 weeks past divine or 300 weeks past divine so I'm guessing he wanted to start with new keepers.

Not true. Jude is much better then the Mexican keeper he sold last season for $15M. He should've priced Jude much higher, atleast another $2M

He respects my excellent keeper. If he sells Jude and doesn't replace him before our match, I will have a better keeper than the Yuma Bulldogs. Then again he will have about 15-20 million more than I will.

Very true, but let's see if he sells for that much more. Also, I believe it was the Portugese natty team keeper but I could be wrong.

I'm all for that, as long as the one team is mine.

Yeah, if we get 14 teams to chip in just over 1M, we could community own Jude. Just imagine you could have Jude play for your team 1 week during the season. And we could all give up that 1 week to train him in Keeping just to make sure he continues to get better.

Too bad monkeys don't fly.

With the sale of my midfielder (7M), am considering selling some other parts to make a run at him if he's re-listed. I expect he'll go for 15 though.

I hope he goes after my cup match against him. 15 mil will fill a bunch of holes for him.

I'd imagine he'd take a while to fill them back up though. Don't think he'd be in a major rush.

I hope so. I would guess he would first go after a good keeper. His other is the 17 y/o US-20 prospect. I am fairly confident I can beat his b-team, but should he choose to run starters or even more than a few starters, I am screwed. I figure, the less cash he has to spend before the match the better.

Jude sold! He went to the Tombstone Titans in MLS for a cool $15M.

Someone to challenge KC Wizard's keeper. Should be interesting in MLS for once.

Well, Jude didn't help him too much today. And yes, he has a great American lineup (lookie...pretty American flags), but also a very very expensive one. Highest payroll in US I think.

If KC beats D&D next week, ML race might be already over.

(As for me, my 3rd straight 1-goal league loss. But I always have slow starts, and have 7M to spend to upgrade. And still ahead of evil Cyclones )

Does the highest payroll in the US count his 1/3 rebates on the 3 Nat teamers? I gotta think he gets more back from national teams than anyone else. Jude alone is 50K/week rebate, right?
