He was my week 2 youth pull. I played him on Sunday, as a normal wingback, he gave me 3 stars, being part of an outstanding left attack, in support to my best winger.

Some of you may remember the IRC chat on sunday, when I was kind of unsure what to do with him, sell him or keep him. I ended up putting him on the market around noon on Monday, with an opening price of 500k U$. I figured if I could sell him for that 500k, I wouldn't mind letting him go but if not, I'd also be happy to keep him with the team, as an excellent D that I paid only 2k U$ (price of the pull) it was a nice deal...

No bids in the first two days, I was starting to think he wouldn't sell. I was starting to like him, maybe even more so since he has a nice French Canadian name. I told myself yesterday morning that if he still didn't have a bid before I was gonna leave from work, that I would plug him in my starting lineup and let him play in the Cup match. Four o'clock comes and still no bids. He plays in the Cup match...

This morning, still no bid. At break, I go check, no bid yet, then BOOM! Around 11am I check and WOW! there's been four bids, the last of which sets the price to 700k U$ :eek: :eek: :D WOOHOO!!!

One other bid came after that and he ended up selling for 714k U$. NIIIIIIIICE!!! :D

With that nice sale, the second over 600k U$ from my youth squad in the last 6 weeks, my youth squad is now showing a nice positive balance of 1 189 785 U$. That is net of any weekly cost for the youth squad (22k/week for the squad and the pickup) and of any fee to put any players on the market...

Go ahead, hate me, I don't care :p :D

Icy, my youth squad is in its 12th week at excellent. You should bump to solid very, very soon, since from my notes my team was at passable for only 4 weeks...

I was in debt when my squad was at passable too. I kept pulling keepers until I got a solid, and before that happened, I had pulled one or two passables that I was able to sell to help me out of debt...

Don't hate the gloater, hate the HT gods that gave a gloater such good youth pulls. Karma's gonna get you Frog.

BTW, I just sold my highest ever youth pull for $175 K for an 18 year old pass/pass scorer. Which some punk from Sverige is now selling at the same amount and already has bids :(.

Not much, but it'll allow me to finally add some people with Solid next to Defender and Scoring. Bon ton roulet.
