I think Hattrick's name database is a bit off. This is an Englishman? Well, I was looking for a new trainee anyway.

Uh, you'd be much, much better off selling him. A 17 year old solid would sill go for a bit at this time of the season. So, I'd say sell him and buy an older solid with cash to spare.

And stamina doesn't matter that much for defenders. Could cause a special event, but it's not all that common.

[TargetPractice6]

Dola, unless you train defense of course :D

[robbgmaier]

SOOOO FRIGGIN FIRED!!

[Hobbes-]

17yo POS best stat - weak = FIRED

[terpkristin]

TP6, you think I should sell, eh?
Any idea of a good starting price?

~tk

[TargetPractice6]

Well he would make a very good trainee. 4 seasons ago I pulled a solid defender a week after this who made the U20 team.

Of course that wouldn't happen these days, but I'ms ure he would sell for more than an older solid. Don't know about a starting price though. $400k maybe?

[Raven Hawk]

18 y/o inadequate passing, inadequate defending no other skills to mention.

I listed him for $0. If he doesn't sell, he gets fired.

[FrogMan]

Not bad, not the best, but not bad... I'll probably keep him in the rotation for friendlies, at least until he pops to passable playmaking... Double passable will make him more interesting on the market...

Nice name though :)

Presently in limbo, don't know what to do with him in my now crowded keeper rotation. The owner, gm and coaches of the Kickers are in a closed door meeting as we speak. Details later.

To add if he was 17, it would be an open and shut case. He would stay, and probably my older would go.

Didn't even take the time to get his name. Just promoted him....fired him......life goes on.

I'm going into my fourth week with an inad youth squad. When can I expect it to pop to passable?

I vaguely remember that from:
inadequate->passable ~6 weeks
passable->solid is 8-10 weeks
solid->excellent is 16 weeks

Those are with a solid coach. And are just estimates from my Excel (!!!) file tracking my squad week-to-week...

Nice! Say hello to my new starting wingback (and 1/2 winger trainee).

I figure since he's 18, I'm not losing a boatload of cash here, would that be a correct assumption?

[BreizhManu]

not that much, and since your training wingers he is a good wingback trainee.

I hate you
