I juz have one thing to say to Spaz plz dun go for outside player as I dun think i can outbid you. ;(

I'm dead broke with zero income every week if I'm lucky, negative if I'm not. I'm surfing the bargain bin.

Not picking on any player or team here.

But if in your words, allowing local managers continue to purchase foreign trainees instead of local ones, then the long list of talented local trainees that go untrained will continue to pile up and go wasted.

This of course leads to a less competitive and talented NT. So when exactly is our U21s and NT going to rise up to be at the very least the top 3 in BB Asia? (Looking at the present group of U21s, it looks to be weaker than 2 or 3 seasons ago)

Its like continuing a cycle of non-productivity.

And KwaiWah has certainly showed us why the other teams are at least taking a concerted effort to preserve and localize the training of their players. We should have more of this in Malaysia.

Why go out and spend big money on foreign trainees when at present case the Malaysian trainee is better. Certainly a puzzling scenario.

Am looking at 18 -19 y.o local GUARD with at least superstar potential. Any decent one in the transfer market. At least inept in all the required main skill. PG or SG

It's of course good if we can have a strong and united community here to safeguard and improve our U-21 and NT players. On the other hand, foreign teams owning our precious players may not be a bad thing altogether. Some of these foreign teams are so committed to training the player that they've gone the length of employing expensive top notch coaches as well as being very disciplined in the training regiment.

BB is different from Hattrick at this moment coz the team owners are more committed to training while teams in Hattrick nowadays are more mercenary in nature. But I do agree with Kwaiwah as in that we need a group of committed team owners, hopefully with cash as well. Setting a TB (training base) program is not difficult and right now it will not be big coz our community is still small and with little resources.

Last 2 seasons I tried looking for a young guard from Malaysia but at that period, none was available so I ended up with an Argentinian boy. He's been tracked by his country's U-21 at the moment. But there's a local good potential available this season, I will trade the Argentinian for him.

Maybe this is partly where the problem lies.

Now is the time to focus on the new generation of trainees not those which are already over 22 and in the senior NT.
A little improvisation to a player or two won't make THAT much of a difference.

If a large pool of under 21s are started being trained in proper fashion now, the U21s and NT will benefit in future. It's time to start from the young trainees.

And Terfu, maybe some new managers are unaware of how to properly train their trainees.What about the Mentorship Program? Was it something that was talked about in the forums but not properly conducted?

im sorry for not contributing much in NT and U21 recently due to my strategy now, im working hard to have a more balanced & competitive enough team in MBBA to compete the championship. But my strategy is coming to the last season now, i will shift my focus to young trainees and single position next season onwards, either inside or outside players....just let me know what i can do to help now...thanks

nice new trainee :P

Yeah. Pretty nice. Just an average trainee though. Sad no local trainees at that time. Bummer. :(

But sad to see a team buying foreign trainees at high prices when there are high talent/level local trainees at lower prices that FIT into their training plan. :(
