I can easily imagine a situation when the player is under training regime advised by NT staff as a promising player with bigger or smaller chances to make NT/U21 team one day. Escpecially in case of high potential players. Notice that preferences and levl of quality of different countries significantly differ.

The motivation why to sell such a player may differ but I don't find anything wrong when such a player would be called NT prospect or U21 prospect. It could easily just mean such a player is observed by NT staff as one of the more promising players of his crop.

Maybe there is something lost in translation for you , LA:)

Dislaimer: I don't use this, I rarely use ads at all and if I have a NT/u21 prospect my priority would be to ensure he would train further rather they amount of money he would bring. I just don's see anything wrong, especially not to an extent teeam should penalized or anything.

Have you seen a certain Australian on the market recently? (still is so no link)
I saw his ad saying his he can make the U21 team and he very well could.
I'm sure it depends but this was one example where the seller was correct.

*edit*
Removed age or he could be pinpointed easily.

Well one thing is to consider that you can't see past hte top 4 stats and such when you see the add on TL search page.

If it says NT I'm gonna click on it, to see theo ther stats & other key factors and look at whichc country etc.

So of course I see its a lie after clicking, but what they've done is burn a click and tiem on me. Especially frustrating when the site is going really slow, which is pretty often for me.


Oh no! You clicked on something that wasn't what it claimed to be?!? On the internet?!!?

Surely you must be joking.
