A great player or waste of salary?

[Doug5984]

I see this player on the trasfer market and I am thinking about buying him...Once he gets a little stamina training he could be a great player to be a defensive forward, just a normal forward, or a great forward in a pressing system

19 years, passable form, healthy
A nasty fellow who is balanced and dishonest.
Has disastrous experience and poor leadership abilities.

Nationality: ???
Assessed value: 286 000 US$
Wage: 2 040 US$/week
Owner: ??? :P
Warnings: 0


Stamina: wretched Goaltending: disastrous
Playmaking: solid Passing: passable
Winger: weak Defending: solid
Scoring: excellent Set Pieces: poor

He just seems like the type of player that could be greatly used once the new tactics are introduced, also since this is a youth pull (yeah i hate the guy who pulled him also) he could be very high in any one of those skills....

What are yalls thoughts on a player like this, mainly for next season when defending can count for a forward...Would it be worth the extra money and a little extra stamina training to get him?

I don't think that he would necessarily be a waste of salary. I was perusing the markets this eve, and if he is the same one that I saw (I briefly glanced at him), then I would say that he is nearly a waste of transfer $. Then again, this may not be the one that I saw selling for a buttload of cash.

I'll just say this . . . don't spend more than 800k on him if you really want him. He is a very good player, and an excellent candidate to train at forward. However, he is 19 years old, going on 20 and it will take awhile to train him up. If you picked him up now, it might be possible to train him 2 levels before season 22 starts. MIGHT be possible. To be honest, I think that he would make a much better IM with those skills. He could play O or D in the middle and do well at both.

I am a defender trainer so the being 19 is really no big deal for me, when shopping for an excellent forward I was kinda looking for a slightly older more experienced player but this guy really caught my eye. I don't think this is the same player you saw, he is acctually selling for quite a bit less than normal excellent scorers / passable passing.

edit: $800,000 is way out of my price range right now, but if i can pick him up for $500,000 I might (that is the going rate for excellent scoreres with good passing)...I probably won't get him because the bidding ends when i will be sleeping but i just wanted some opinions on him, and kept his name out just incase

i wouldn't touch him, but that's just me. and $500,000 is the average going rate for an excellent striker with weak passing.

defensive forwards aren't worth the decrease in attack, if you want help there, go with an offensive defender.

I'd bet this guy will go for $650-$800k

Nice youth pull...tell this guy he is a mother f'er :D

[Doug5984]

Well he ended up selling for $765k, -panther nice call on your price range

[Raven Hawk]

Yeah, I thought I saw a similar guy with a $1M price tag on his head in Sweden. Good thing I didn't bid on him, it would have cost me 800k. :)
