Day of coincidences
Two strange coincidences today:
1. Last week, my top mid popped, so I listed him. Noticed that Street Walkers (US II) bid on him. Street Walkers had previously bought the last mid I sold back in December. HT-mailed him "Am I your designated supplier of high quality mid products?  "He replied that I seemed to be the only one selling them (I'd imagine that's excluding Sweden and/or overpriced guys. Both guys I had listed low, so they'd definitely sell). He ended up winning a bid war and getting my guy. So out of all the teams in HT, the same one bought my last 2 mids. (Which looks a bit suspicious, but was obviously legit. And both went for about what I expected they'd go for.) 2. With money incoming, decided to start looking for a trainee to replace the sold guy. I had very specific requirements: a. PM minimum solid b. passing minimum solid c. stamina minimum passable d. age maximum 20 The idea being to get either a 17 solid to train up, or a 19-20 brilliant+ who I'd train, but can play right away (and cost much more) Browsed EVERY list (afterall, a 17 solid/solid could be a youth pull), bookmarked a few guys, and saw the one I wanted to target. Realized that the player was on the SAME TEAM that I'm playing in a friendly Wednesday. What are the chances of looking for a specific player, finding the one guy I want, and him being on the same team as the one I'm playing in a friendly? Made one bid (he was somewhat overpriced currently; but I'm training stamina twice, so passable stamina's OK. And he's a potential U-20, which I confirmed with the U-20 coach), went to work, came home, and found out he was mine. So my new trainee will get to have a "farewell match" at his former club on Weds. Strange stuff (to me anyway). |

both ET I think (the first one might've been titanic, but don't think so)
The one today had inadeq. passing and was american (the first was swedish with wretched passing), so he went for more. |
