Sold this guy for 700k at the dawn of this season, and now the guy who bought him is selling him for 1.25 mil...shame, I don't have the cash to bring him back home:( But that mother club money will be nice if there are any takers...

Looking at his past matches, John seems to have a form problem...they striker I kept Oscar Alvarez has just turned excellent and he gets better stars than John...so buyer beware.

did you look at the other players on his current team? Sometimes you'll see a team with overall bad form, may be because the team, while it is training a specific position, is not doing so with a very high % or without anough assistant coaches...

Would strike me funny, if a team buys a 17 year old for about 700k but doesn't have adequate coaching staff to train him...I know this guy trained passing because Adcock was lacking there (I'll have to check my files) but no everybody else on the team seems to have good form...I recall for the few weeks that I had John that he didn't move from inadequate form much...

this is actually an excellent player to buy for forward trainers. in a GOOD training program you could make 4-5 mil profit by giving this guy 2 seasons of scoring training.
