I'm totally gobsmacked at some of the crazy outlook that some managers have to the game. A few times now I've seen managers pay £600k+ for 17yo's that look moderately decent that are already on high wages.
When I say high I'm talking 10k plus. Maybe I can see the sense if they are the genuine wonderkid banging in goals at senior level left right and centre but their getting outclassed at senior level now.
What on earth do they think is going to happen as the GW progress's and everyone gets a stronger team. They have no free wage budget are doomed to spend life in lower tiers, all in the off chance that the one player they've literally invested everything in might be actually good.
Meanwhile the selling club I bet is throwing a party, even in Turkland with it's early inflation you can still get two very solid senior players on £10k a day total.
You try and reason with them and often they'll go off on one and claim the player is something he clearly isn't. LOL once I a few months back was chatting to manager in an U19 game who had a kid on £30k a day. He scored a goal and the manager said 'see he's worth it'. IN A UNDER 19 GAME!
News flash if that was the Gold Cup final fair play yeah he's worth it, in a Premier League game, maybe just maybe worth it, even in the lower reaches of a FA you can make a case.
In a youth game he isn't and never will be worth it.
