at 23 he has the chance to meet his 4* potential, so really good pick up for 34mill

Here's hoping. At the very least him and Rance will be a good partnership for the next season or so until my other young guns hit their stride.

Now I just need to improve my keeping stocks...

a starting keeping is on my radar end of this season, if I'm going to get promotion - assuming I win the playoff game - then I'm going to need to spend big on a 4* min keeper.

Yea I've been keeping an eye out for keeper for a long while and seems basically you'll be dropping some pretty decent cash on one no matter what but getting a kiwi one means a bunch more $$ gone.

From what I've seen around the league games a solid keeper can in fact save some pretty rubbish teams so I'm kind of surprised they aren't even more overpriced than already.

yeah, it's the one thing I've not yet been able to find, a decent Kiwi keeper that I can afford. My current 3* guy does ok, with the defence he has to utilise. But I'd really like to move him on and replace him with a 4* guy. Maybe mid way through next season.

Yea I'm playing a 21y/o 4* pot kiwi keeper in the hopes I get him to at least 3.5* but a true 4* means sinking some serious dollars - barely any urgent replacement needs that be the next thing I'm targeting but we'll see how he develops for now.

Another foreign player joining the Elite in time for next season:

http://trophymanager.com/players/76861500/David_Kereselidze/#/page/history/


Should make for a powerful (albeit older) strike duo with Rance next season while my young up-and-comers get some routine under their belts. 

Will get his first run out tonight in the final game of the season.

Few players up for sale if anyone's interested, the best two are:

Will Vicelich - very good 3 star CB with still at least 3 strong years left in him (only 27), relegated to third in rank for me so looking to sell.

Przemyslaw Palec - Only 19 and already 2.5 stars, good core stats for his position and has 3.5-4 star potential. Happy to keep hold of him but looking for a big money signing to would also take a bit of cash.

3 other bench guys going for cheap also if you're on the lookout.

I wanted Bail too, but I just couldn't justify going too much higher, the crazy prices are going to put me off bidding and leave the money burning a huge hole in my back pocket.

and as I typed this he shoots passed my budget, back to the drawing board! At least I still have a decent 3* keeper.

These prices are too crazy for me on the transfer market, I just can't pull the trigger, keep getting bid up into the 150 million mark on guys I want, big NZ talents too. Very frustrating, might just have to keep 300 mill hanging around for an evntual promotion.

I have some money, hunting for a long term replacement for Skjovska who retires at the end of the season, issue is Keepers are going at stupid prices right now, and I have a 4* Pot guy on my bench (Though not sure he is quite good enough to step in). So going to probably hold off til midseason now and just upgrade my facilities some more.

I shelled out for a 4* striker as mine have been crap... this should enable the Thunder to push for promotion after a 6th then 4th going out in the 1st round of playoffs. Hopefully it was (loadsa) money well spent!
