Well, Ardent has me hooked on the notion of buying a U-20 keeper, so while I was searching, I found this guy on sale for anyone interested in a defender.

Alberto Damjan (19653246)
20 years, passable form, healthy
A sympathetic guy who is temperamental and honest.
Has poor experience and poor leadership abilities.
Also part of Team U-20 Bolivia!
Nationality: Bolivia
Assessed value: 285 000 US$
Wage: 1 572 US$/week including 20% Bonus
Owner: Real Gaelica
Warnings: 0

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

Transfer list: Wing Back
Deadline: 2/11/2004 at 00.12
Asking price: 0.0 US$
Highest bid:
63 000 US$ by BK Rapid

I am just saying this cause he is only at 63k right now and in an excellent defender. I guess he is that low because he is listed as a wingback.

I think I saw the deadline was around 2/11....Since I sold a similar player for $750k but he wasn't on a U-20 squad I have a feeling this guy will go for a lot more than I have...but I will try to get him

Warning...this guy will only be on the U-20 squad for a couple more weeks. He may, of course, make the nat team, but as a 20 YO excellent, it would only be briefly until the new blood starts taking over.

I made sure to check that...Right now the national team's defenders all put up 3.5 stars, this guy is putting up 3.5 stars and with some more training he could become their # 1 guy...assuming the other guys are older than him. I bumped it up to $950k. I am not sure how much higher I am willing to go.

I ended up buying him for 1.16 million. I will train him up for atleast 2 season, anything after that would go just to slow. Hopefully at that point he will be a starting wingback for Bolivia and I can make a lot of $$$$$

The keeper I was looking at was a 17-yo passable that sold for over 2 mil. needless to say, I did not get him.
