You could sell them now, but I think it's perfectly acceptable to keep training them until they're 21.

I'd continue training Canturk, his experience will be a big limitation on his current price, it really needs to be wretched or better when selling players with high levels.

IMHO, sell but only if you need the money. I've been in a similar situation with a scoring trainee and sold him at outstanding as well. Must admit, it was not a very smart move. I would have been better off keeping training him for at least one more season. But I needed cash and badly. However, now I'm thinking of where did this cash go and can't recall anything particularly useful, may be stadium expansion for 600K which was long overdue. Where did other 400K go, I have no idea, some crappy old players which helped me a bit to get through may be.

Well I did not listen to akots suggestion. I sold John Sunneson.
Quote:
Now I have 1.3 mil in treasury to play with... I would like to keep 300K in the bank for "just in case" money which leaves me 1 mil. I need a trainee (possibly 3)so I'd like to hear your suggestions as to skill levels, ages, secondaries that I should be looking for. After loosing my second straight match of the new season I do not think there is a chance I will be able to win my division this season. I will however be selling 2 more players towards the end of this season for aproximately the same kind of cash if not more. My Idea is to spend this cash on trainee's only and spend some of the cash I get for my other 2 sales late in the season on improving my team in hopes of winning next season. Shabba and I talked a bit about my replacement trainee. He suggested buying a 19 yr old formidable PM guy to train for 2-3 seasons. I am also considering buying at least 2 if not 4 more trainees to fill out my wing possisitions. I have never really trained much in those places so I am losing out there as well. I presume that a good wing rating is important for that but I would appreciate any help in what I should be looking for there as well.

I suppose you could buy some 19 year old excellent PMs for the winger slots to train to formi in a season... real PM-winger trainees tend to be really expensive, as they need to have very high wing skill to start with plus at least inadequate PM.

I'd say 18 year old excellent. As they will be significantly cheaper (or should be) and so the training is worth more.

I think I found a reasonable deal for my new trainee.
He will be playing on my friendly squad for a while so I am not really overly concerned with his bad form. Inad Stamina can be corrected at the end of this season or the next. His passing his horrible but I believe his passable defense makes up for it. I paid 412K US$ for him. By only spending 40% of my trainee budget I can also not go out and look for some winger/pm trainee's now to fill out my training regement.
