Asunto: Youth players

I'll have a go, but I may run out of funds. I can afford to play him to check his talent. Carr was also ~7 and he's been popping like crazy.

Also can take him on. Will keep an eye on the bidding and see if any of you resign.

Hi lads , I joined the forum after achmid invited me

I'd be happy to help train up any young talent , Sokker Scotland is pretty much dead nowadays so it would be nice to help out somewhere

New trainers for NT always welcome. :) We've got a few helping out which can only help add depth....just need to pull some decent youths. The cupboard is looking empty for me.

Welcome Stevie. Any help training for our Nat team is greatly appreciated. There's not many of us, but we've got a dedicated bunch training up good local youths.

You’re more than welcome to help train our players when we pull them. Quite confident that there would be some of us willing to do the same if Scotland needed trainers. Those of us in smaller countries likely need to work together for the greater good anyway.

100% agree. Whilst I train mainly Australians, my doors are open to training other small countries players to help out as well

I'll certainly try my best , I will keep my eyes peeled for any young talent coming through and also be respectful not to fight against anyone here that's bidding

I'm not liking where the games headed just now , I feel its geared towards the big clubs with money piled up already . I've decided that I need to keep quiet though, because every time I speak out I get hit with injuries .

I know it's just a coincidence , but I've just recently commented on the forums about it and guess what ? A 21 day injury to a main striker . Before that , was a 24 day injury ro a keeper and before that , well you get the idea

I know I'm just unlucky , but sometimes it feels like a punishment haha

All good mate, vent away.

I too feel like this happens with me as well, not necessarily injuries but somehow coming off on the wrong side of the ME despite what the game looks like in the match viewer.

But as you say, it's all just coincidence. Our human brain is just too good (or too bad) at linking things to make a picture. Same way we see shapes in clouds and UFOs overhead.

Don't get me started on UFO's lol

Talent 4, 3 pops in 12 weeks. Nice skills too, just a shame he's 19yo. Based on my other defenders, I don't think he'll get close to the U21 NT.

Christopher O'Brien, age: 19, height: 177 cm

(editado)

Nice distribution for sure.

I think you are right, even with a quick pace and def pop, he would really only get himself in to the category of maybe 1 or 2 games if others get affected by form. Probably better off using that training spot for a more promising junior for Aus or a money maker from another country

Weak Talent 3.33

Really only kept because he was young and so close to coming out of the youth school. Was hoping he was "underestimated" for skill level, but after seeing distribution, really not enough to get anything but the sack

Not much chop here, so likely to get just that....or fill a friendly slot.
