My youth team - Man United.

Well, I'm finished with Sporting, a successful game.

Now taking on Manchester United, and i've spent around 10 minutes stealing Hollands youth(Mostly Ajax, Feyenoord, PSV).

I plan on sending Adu to Sporting Lisbon untill he nearly reaches 17, then sign him back this way we dont have this work permit trouble.

This is my signings for 2002/03.

Is my Youth team a bit big? .

P.S, I plan on adding more right away *runs off to the player forum*

*Disgusted

Far too many youth already!!!

Too many i only sign youth players if they have the talent to make my first team or make me some $$

Well I made the most of it, since when you get to the 2005, there are not many good youth players around, if any at all.

Can never have too much youth

That's a big squad. You can never use that much youth players

You could have bought the whole Ajax youth academy too. BTW a good young player from holland is Junquiera (spelling??), I think he's with Emmen at the start. Purovic is great too

Some more youth players who are usually quite good in games. Veirinha(SP?), Maradona, and Helder Barbosa. All great buys, IMO. You can find them over at FC Porto. And btw, is Felguiras(GK) any good?

It is a big squad, but you never know who could blossom and become a superstar.

And with all those injuries you can use a squad like that

its tooooooo bad.

well your team stinks. it is too bad to have a team full of youth. dont ever make that kind of threads.

It's his youth squad... and if you don't have the common decency to use your brain when posting a reply, don't.

Thanks for the tips Hugo(and the backup in your latest post).

I've had Diego Maradona JR before, didnt turn out too well, ill give him another try, I'm not losing anything anyway.

Vieira/Vieirinha is also good, and irl too, I saw him against Cameroon U17 the other day(despite being on a team that let 5 goals in during the last 20minutes), he's another one of Portugals stars due to blossom in the future.



The ignore feature on this forum did come in handy afterall

For sho!

I thought my youth team was big with Man United but I have nothing on yours. The only youngsters I have signed are Adu, Paim, Diego, Adam Rundle, and Radamel Garcia (pending WP)

Lol, no not Diego Maradona Jr. I meant the Portuguese Maradona, he plays for FC Porto, two different players.

I signed him aswell lol.

i try to keep each squad to 25-30 players, but looks like you've got 99 in your under 19's squad which is insane hehe! At least you've got McEveley and Ferdinand, they're about the best youth players man utd don't have. Quick tip for you, if you want to keep Hussaine or Gomez, you will need to start playing them as soon as their loan ends or you'll never get a work permit for either of them.. i ended up releasing Gomez and selling Hussaine for 3.3m. Hussaine looks like he'll become world class from the performances he put in when i played him, but i was never gonna be able to get his contract renewed

Yea, I might send them to Sporting so I dont need to play them in order to give them a contract, thanks for that.

tomi petscu (is he best of the best? in the best 8 odd youth players?)

Barbosa is a better play then Paim if you're planning to run the game for a couple of seasons not until they're grown up.
