Asunto: [U21] Qstarw The last World Champion

I'm curious if you're going to get your £10mil back

I reckon 7-8m area. So not as a percentage a huge loss.

He’s a good all round mid so could get close to the original price? He’s a good age to see at too.

So.... Let me get this straight, you buy a fiesta for 10mil, work a few years on it and make it look and run like a bentley and then you sell it for 7-8 mil?

Of course not

Real life football is way worse, you buy a player who's no player yet for 10's of millions hoping he will be a player

You loose 10% on sales [5% more] now, I also thought about 7-8m.

That's if you're Real Madrid or Chelsea. Otherwise, you buy a young player for a few hundreds of thousands and sell him later for millions.

£6 mil now, you might get more than you paid.

I tend to think Real & Barcelona can offer less as player would rather be in Spain, than cloudy, busy, rat race England

*It's not as if they are going to a lovely countryside where Logged out Chuck Norris lives.....

To go up north in England for a footy player you'll pay buckets more and most will go back abroad soon enough and I'd do the same. Barcelona best spot as not as hot as say Valencia, but Malaga is a no from me.

Pep must be mad really

I don’t think you can make money easily if you spend a lot in the outset. Buy cheap, get level of talents proven by graphs and sell much earlier and you can make money. Lots of the fun is creating a good player in any case. ;)

Cheap and levels of talent proven by graphs typically don't go hand in hand.

Players like this - 37619022 sort I like. Didn't cost stupid money (200k). Scored 200 or so goals for me. Then moved on for a profit (not mega bucks but still over 2.5x original spend). Would obviously have sold for more at his peak value time.

I never said easily. But to spend £10mil on an undeveloped player, even knowing about the talent, it is a bit extravagant. Not that it has ever happened or will ever happen to me lol. A few injuries and the graphs are blown away. I had Sean Bergkamp as a magical junior, amazing set of skill to start with. Not one, not two but three long injuries at the start of his senior career and the guy was out of date at 22. That's why I don't think I'd risk so much money on a young player. Actually, the real reason is that I don't even have so much money.

I have not spent that much on a trainee either, I almost have before but pulled out. The majority of my best trainees have been around 3 to 4m. I did spend more however on Miller but he was my old player from my school and I wanted to bring him home and train him to triple super divine.......the old system wouldn't allow me to train him properly. Also the prices were probably higher then and at a peak.

I spent £7.75m on Miller then sold him for over £9m

Someone then paid over £13m for him ;)
Transfers have changed a lot now though

It's a funny thing this talent graph. I have a junior right now with +7(weak to formidable) in 18 weeks. That's like a 2.5 talent according with the graphs. Now that I decided to play lower league (and hopefully don't go up) I will probably have the chance to see how true the graphs are. He still has 7 weeks and he's 19 already, maybe it's not the best experiment.
