To sell or not to sell, part 2
I've been training wingers for years, and this has long been quite profitable. About a year ago I decided it was time to sell this guy, Gisbert van Harten. I bought him as a wingback, so he'd benefit from the training my wingers get. By that time his winger skill was supernatural or something, pretty high compared to his brilliant defending skill. I couldn't sell him for a price I wanted to get: at least more than I payed for him.
Anyway, to get to the point: I'm sure I overpaid for this particular player, but I'm quite sure I didn't overpay for my primary trainees (quick with decent PM). My conclusion is that (once again) the economy went belly up, or whatever it is, I don't know... Now, some of these guys are getting old enough to dump them and grab whatever petty cash I can get (if I would need the money, that is), but what do you do with players that you will lose money on if you sell them? Sell them?

Do you intent to keep training wingers?
Does he take up a place in you training scheme? How is his salary compared to similar player at this position? Do you have the time to scout for a replacement? 30 y.o is pretty much the deadline of getting reasonable money for a player.

My two A-team wingers are in the same category: too little revenue, too old. Though compared to the wingback I actually need those two to stay competitive. My star player won't net me 2M, though I paid 1.3M. Hm, come to think of it, that is actually a profit. Perhaps I should sell him.

I would sell it but I would also likely wait til the start (week 2 or 4) to do the selling as prices are as depressed as possible right now.

Sell. Something is better than nothing. Unless he has solid leadership. Then let him stay to coach. I think with wingers you need to sell at around 28 and 30 is a bit stretching.

I think that the prices will rise during the first half of next season. Second teams will put some money into the system.
Not a big explosion of prices, but probably worth keeping your players a few weeks.

I forgot last time when the economy was belly down. They cannot maintain any semblance of reasonable balance IMO for quite some time, maybe 10 or 12 seasons.

This, especially if he can pop up a level in something in the meantime, maybe passing?

I trained a winger for two years (years, not seasons), and sold him at age 25 for 1.8M. I'm not sure if it's even worth training for that amount of money.
