You mean chaunceymo apparently? I have not had dealings with him previously, so I don't know. Of course, I don't want the player to get to some daytrader who will resell him immediately but if this happens, I'm not going to interfere. The problem with daytraders is that they are not going to train him properly (mostly, they should have stamina at 15% or more) and this would decrease potential and subsequent sales. But keeping stamina at 5% requires considerable sacrifice of performance in older players and I'm not that committed to training to settle down firmly in Div5.

We'll see how it goes because the deadline is set to 7am CET and some Eastern European buyer may show up.

Both Chauncey and Daniel--P are both dedicated trainers with excellent coaches for the U20. Chauncey put the initial bid as he knew he would be away for the majority of the day but did not want him to pass without a bid.

Ok, now I know, thanks! Daniel got him for 816K. I'll try to follow up, we'll see what happens. The main problem for him might be to get through without injuries or other interruptions. The, he might be able to get to U20 and maybe, further on.

BTW, Daniel missed only 3 flags out of 128, - Palestine, Surinam, and Yemen. Pretty impressive collection there.

Congrats with this U20 prospect!

Here is an update on my Future U20 Stud!

Amazing part of this kid is that HTYC tells me he should pop to excellent scoring in ~6 matches.. he has around 20 matches left til he can promote at 17.0 yrs old. I am actually thinking I will try to train SP on this kid as I really don't have much else to concentrate on in the YA.

I am hoping for a nice payday on this one!

What a man!
