I put him on the market for $40,000 which I actually thought might be a bit high. After a prolonged bidding war he finally sold earlier today for $81,000. He is now back on the market in Switzerland for $82,500 by a 7th place DVI team. I don't see the value, can anyone else? Two passables in non-complimentary skills + 19 doesn't add up for me.

I think that while you joked about the name, it made you money.

Ok, is it just me, or is it new that it says 'A pleasant guy person who is fiery and dishonest?'

Did it always have both of those there, and I'm just noticing it today?

[vex]

I don't think it aways has...

Ok, I found one of my players from season 18, and no, it hasn't always been this way:

Well, you know, your sanity wasn't really addressed by that post. However, no, before Little Escobar, I never saw "controversial guy person" either. Still not making any comment on your sanity. :D :D :D

Haha... my keeper is "A controversial person person".

[vex]

Maybe they are going to introduce female players?

[saintjo]

my youth pull this week was named joan. his says "A pleasant guy person who is tranquil and honest." it does seem suspicious that they say guy now.

[saintjo]

also noticed coaches have changed
"A passable trainer who is fond of attacking"

didnt it used to say coach instead of trainer?

Yes, yes it did.

Nice, I would like to see him either stay with a team I know or get some really nice training :) I think he is at about 180k right now. Although it would have been nice to have Joan team up with one of my forwards named Gale :)

Heh...teed it up nicely for you there :)

And Ricky Martin's specialty is spot-on there.

[terpkristin]

Um wow. I wonder if Ricky Martin comes off as poorly in other languages with their idioms and colloquialisms as it does in English. :D

Luv ya Vince. :D

Hope you noticed this other guy has solid leadership and could possibily mess up any clowns you have.

You can buy whoever you want, but who wouldnt want Joan "of Arc" Jarret :) a saint pulled by the saints

I'm always game for messing up some clowns.

They are evil.

I don't have a clown, just a semi-clown, that's why I didn't care.
