Subject: I.1

well good luck on your real life. it was a joy playing against your teams.

ive been dragging myself too for a while and trying to get a boost. Not sure for how long I will last

Good luck in life. Sad to see such dynasty's go but that's the way of the game. Your team has truly accomplished a lot.

Thanks bulls. You were a great manager. I chased you and Outsider for years. Thanks for the competition.

Damn... wish I could make a solid run at Bob Young tonight, but I'm going out with the girl to a concert. Today's one of the few times that I've wished for an afternoon deadline. *womp womp*

I'll definitely take a run at Nolan McQueen . He fits right into my strategy (of playing young(er) guys and grooming them for the national team(s)).

I feel kind of silly now for blowing so much money on foreign (albeit very good) players in the last month or so.

Finally, Ronald McNamara is a draftee to be excited about after last season's draft busts. His lowest Quality seems to be in Goalkeeping, which is nice for a field player!

At one time could we see stats on 9 m shots and goals for the season?

eh? You can see the team totals here: handball.powerplaymanager... (if that's what you're looking for)

You cant see the breakdown by player as far as I can tell (the system only apparently keeps track of 7m shots and not their 6m or 9m ones)

One U-19 player for 3M and one U-21 player for 8M. I love bargain.

It looks like I will finally be returning to I.1 for the first time since I left in season 3.

I was 3 points out of first in I.1 in season 1. Only 6 original I.1 teams are still competing in season 10. 2-5 could be in I.1 next season. The 6th one is demoting from I.1.

I'll probably end up competing to avoid relegation, even with some top teams folding. Two of my starters are former Covington Rowdies returning to I.1 with the Cataclysm.

Congrats Outsider on the double this year. Very well coached season.

Well... I tried to save Franklyn Clark from a fate worse than death, but it just got too damn expensive. I went back and forth with HANDBOLLENS MATADORER before bowing out after it got above 50m.

It's such a shame... this guy WAS one of our best 19 year old prospects. Now he's destined to become pretty much worthless.

Tragic.

Hopefully that crap team he went to folds sooner rather than later, and he ends up back on the marketplace before he's completely ruined.

Here's hoping [handball_team=16062] can at least make good use of the extra money he's getting from me driving the price up.

I would buy him if he was 5/6.

I'm stunned. I had no idea he would go for so little. I wouldnt have sold him had I known.

If I hadn't stepped in, he only would've gone for like $34m. I'm not quite sure why there wasn't more interest in him from better teams.

Sure he's 4/6 CL, but he's going to stay that way for 2 more seasons, and he's one of the highest quality U.S. players (I'll take an 85 AvQ 4/6 over a 77 AvQ 5/6 guy any day of the week).

*shrug*

I dunno. Like I said... it's a shame, he was on pace to make an impact on the senior national team once he was old enough. Now... not so much.

I just couldn't justify paying so much for him when I don't really "need" him. I was basically just considering it 1 part helping the national teams, 1 part investment. The investment piece got less and less attractive as the price climbed, and the helping out the national team piece became harder and harder to cost justify.

I already spent my money.
