gooner83 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 When i started my current Arsenal save i made the decision to make my main signings within the very first transfer window and use the other windows to pinch the young talent floating about. I have been very successful doing it this way but now has come the time that alot of my youngsters r knocking on the door and my signings from before r beginning to enter there 30's. Each season i have exceeded my borads expectations and am loved my both board and fans. So is it now wise to have another clear out to make room for my youngsters who i have no doubt will make the grade but am unsure whether they will take a bit of time and am worried my board and fans wont be so forgiven. Any advice whether it would be a wise move or not would be very helpful especially if u have had to endure a season in transition too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackripper Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 i usually have the same problem when i manage man utd, I dont want to play giggs scholes and neville as i dont like over 30's in my first 11 and i dont want to let them rot, But its a harsh world and i try to play them for a few league cup games to try keep them for coaches.

Geordieboy52 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I have kind of done the same thing, I got promoted to the Premier League with Newcastle and strengthened heavily and since then I have only really signed young players and filtered them into the 1st team when someone gets older. It's working really well, the only thing is I feel that some of the young players will want a new challenge come 25 or 26 and that'd leave me in the ****!

dovEs Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 You can usually get away with performing slightly under expectations for one season, if you have a good past record with a team, by which time the youngsters atts. will have (hopefully) shot up a bit and then, the next season you can kick some arse. make sure you keepa couple of oldies for tutoring purposes though, I find regens not to be so good at tutoring as 'real' players generally cos their hidden stats usually aren't so good.

Koki Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I think one should be able to open new squads - and then have a seperate O30 squad where you can send all players over 30 that won't get many matches but you don't want to sell I try to discipline myself in not buying so many talents but I still encounter the very same problem. I tend to have a 22 player 1st squad (2 players for each position). If I have a very promising youth player, I decide whether he's already better than the back-up guy. If so, the back-up guy is either sold or put into a lower squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
