Asunto: [U21] Defenders

Currently #9 U20 but potentially talented according to post. Possibly a worthwhile buy for one of the newer def trainer teams, but maybe not worth it for for the more experienced ones with more money

Shame he's not been fully trained. He's below my 19yo defender, so I'll pass.
Tabby might be interested?

#9 U21, but regularly gets selected due to his good form and higher ups poor form. Having some tech and play also helps

I'll see if I can buy either of Cardozo or Diggins.

Cardozo went to the owner of Bob Jeans. Talked to him a few hours before the end of bidding. Luke will be in good hands, just like Bob.

Will be posting him here and in the ATT U21s

A new pull from Ukes, right in there as either an ATT or DEF

Probably a bit of a risk without knowing his talent

Great talent wise (2.9) so although that is technically impossible, his true talent will be pretty close to as good as possible.

Secondaries do let him down a fair bit

#14 U18 DEF

Brad Harries, age: 18
club: Chelsea.F.C, country: Australia
value : 58 400 AU$
wage: 1 120 AU$
height: 181 cm, weight: 68.2 kg, BMI: 20.82

hopeless [1] stamina tragic [0] keeper
average [5] pace adequate [6] defender
tragic [0] technique tragic [0] playmaker
hopeless [1] passing good [7] striker

He's probably too far behind to be worth training despite the talent (and because secondaries are so low)

Tried getting Albert Stergiopoulos, the person bidding him up trains midfielders, which is the worst thing for this player

That's ok, thanks for trying. The other guy really overpaid, especially if they are a MID trainer and given the talent is unknown.

There have been a number of Aussies who have been bid right up by an overseas team, they get lumped with them, then sell off for a massive loss of profit, or they train for 3 seasons and sell for the same amount they bought them.

Currently our #1 defender, but doesn't play a lot because his stamina is disgustingly low and won't last 20minutes (he isn't so much better than others to say he can play once his stamina runs out)

Obviously would love to see him go to a DEF trainer, but would also like to see him get 1 or 2 weeks of stamina training, bringing him up to between Poor-Average stamina where he will be at least more playable

Dean Stephenson, age: 21, sum[48]
$
club: KSWratislavia, country: Australia
value : 394 800 AU$
wage: 4 000 AU$
very good form
solid tactical discipline
height: 175 cm, weight: 67.2 kg, BMI: 21.94

hopeless stamina hopeless keeper
very good pace incredible defender
excellent technique average playmaker
good passing unsatisfactory striker

He currently sits at the 11th best defender to leave the U21 team (going up to the current 25yos + Bailey and McPharlin as I had their stats near the end of their U21 year), but he obviously still has the rest of this season to work his way up that list.

I expect him to get up to between 4th-8th making him a worthwhile investment

Would be handy to know talent? I'll search back thru' youth forum to see if it's there. Could be interested if talent is decent.
Ok, I've located stats when pulled so can line that up with where he's at now & decide from there.
(editado)

This guy will be put on TL later tonight by their owner (unknown time but I did say when we can bid until time wise)

Needs a pace trainer. Just popped in defence today

Wow poland has really got on board for him. First bid (outside of mine) was 1.2M. 2nd bid in the 2M.
Not bad for all of 6months work by the manager after buying him off me for $4

We're in the same assosiation, Antos and I. Doing our best to get him promoted and encourage other members to invest and train him on the highest level possible.
