    I paid £22.5m for a reason, this kid is going to be insane.

    Also, this guy is my first youth graduate established in the first XI.

    £22.5 million ?!?!?!?! that is insane !

    What is his current star rating ? I can kind of guess his potential is atleast 4 and a half star for that price <laugh>

    Oh and where did you sign him from ?

    Nah he's worth £22.5m especially if you have no holes in your squad.

    4.5 potential. I nabbed him off Liverpool, and only paid £7m up front, the rest over 48 months, steal!

    EDIT: Andy Crosby says he'd be a 'good' player for L1 sides, and has the potential to become a lot better than Cork.

    8 points between me and the relegation zone and 8 games to go, no that is going to be tough, better stay up though,
    Just lost against Birmingham, first defeat in 6, 3-2 it was, I went 1-0 down to go back to 1-1 at 35 minutes and then 2-1 up at 40, but then it was all theirs.
    I am in the FA Cup semi final which excited me, West Brom, If I get to the final I would have either Arsenal or Tottenham.

    I think everyone has - doesn't mean he's not worth it. Amazed a team would hold out for 22m on a 16 year old

    I've paid much less for good Brazilians or Frenchmen. :p

    If you do want class regens, have a snoop round LeMans' and Monaco's academies.

    I would never pay anywhere near, the most I would pay for young players at the moment is 5 million upfront with it rising maybe to 10 million but that would depend on how good they are, I might try and get them for like 3 million up front with a it rising to 8 million with a 5 million fee if they play 20 times for their country, it takes a long time with my negotiations, I re negotiate a lot of times to get my players.

    I would never pay 22m for a 16year old.

    Surely if he was 16 could you not sign him on a pre-contract? i.e. just paying the compensation?

    I am 11 points clear with 7 games to go, just won against wolves, I think I only need 6 points now from the final 7 games.

    Just an update on the transfer side of the game, I have just set up the signing of this player who is at Burnley on loan at the moment from Genk, seems he will be good as he has scored goals for Burnley they are a good side the Championship, and he is 16.
    I have paid 1.2 million upfront with it rising to over 4 million, he should be good, will have him next season

    Just had one of them horrible games, lost 5-1 against league leaders Man City, not surprised they are on form.

    Do i lose to saints on purpose to ensure they stay up?

    please log in to view this image


    If i don't get promoted then i intend to resign unless they give me a decent budget, as the team is rather thin. (I am palace if you didn't know)

    Who owns Pompey in this game?! All you can ask from AI, is a bit of reality!

    I think I may be near safe, 10 points clear of the relegation zone, 5 games to go, I don't think they are going to all win 3 and draw 1 and lose 1.
    amazing game I just had, yet again the goals, but I am conceding a lot.
