the most amazing case of "newbieness"

I think this is just about to top the case of that nameless owner who added 5 seats to his 7000 seats stadium. (just kidding to whoever may feel concerned by that remarke ;) )

I have this fellow on the market right now:

Panos Kolokotronis (8311858)
21 years, poor form, healthy
A nasty fellow who is temperamental and honest.
Has disastrous experience and poor leadership abilities.

Nationality: Hellas
Assessed value: 54 000 C$
Wage: 1 752 C$/week including 20% Bonus
Owner: Pintendre Pittbulls
Warnings: 0

Stamina: excellent Goaltending: disastrous
Playmaking: poor Passing: inadequate
Winger: weak Defending: poor
Scoring: inadequate Set Pieces: inadequate

Not a very good player and in very bad form because I have not played him in about 4-5 weeks. Asking price is 3000 C$ (1500 U$), basically just enough to cover the fee for putting him on the market. I bought Panos "Greek God" Kolokotronis after about 5 days of playing HT and he helped me quite a lot in my beginnings, so I decided I'd put him up for grab before firing him.

Got this on the "MY HATTRICK" page, under "YOUR TEAM":
