A newbie bidding war of sorts......

[tucker rocky]

.....they've been playing for about a month, bidding on one of my original players:

Omar Pascale (7413080)
31 years, poor form, healthy
I speak Italiano!


A pleasant guy who is temperamental and infamous.
Has weak experience and weak leadership abilities.

Nationality: USA
Assessed value: 20 000 US$
Wage: 810 US$/week
Owner: Jacksonville Kickers
Warnings: 1


Stamina: passable Goaltending: disastrous
Playmaking: passable Passing: weak
Winger: weak Defending: poor
Scoring: inadequate Set Pieces: weak

Career Goals: 6
Career Hattricks: 0
League goals this season: 0
Cup goals this season: 0

I hope Pascale can give something to them, that he'll no longer give me,
playing time.
He was an extra body with no place to play, although he did play midfield and forward in his early days with my team.

I have a somewhat off topic question, but why does he say he speaks italian when his nationality if the USA? Is there a way to change their language?

Also, when I first started I purposely bougth cheap 30 year old passable players to fill out my team until I could buy descent ones. It not a bad move to begin with.

I have an English player who says "I speak Irish". The offbeat part is his name is John Dunne, like the English poet (at least I don't think Dunne was Irish as were so many 'English' poets.)

and 30 year old Weak exp players can be new team's best players.

I guess his name is italain? I gave him a quote long time ago, and it said:
"I speak italiano".

"Immigrants" are part of the HT player universe, and they happen in every country. You don't get to choose a player's heritage, it's set at the time the player is created.

I have two Americans who speak Chinese on my team (Shuo Shou-Feng and Huang Kien), and I had at least one Spanish-speaking youth pull that I sold (Luis Verdevalle).
