16yo keeper 80s potential.
Player : Iain Aldersmith
Pos : GK
Age : 16
Rating : 38 potential to reach 80s (with good enough coaches.)

How much would someone pay for him in the current market climate?

Failed to sell twice at 12.5m. On the market until tomorrow at 12m but still no bids.

If he doesn't sell this time, will someone make me an offer.

Thanks

He would have been sold for 20+ M in the old days
Now with the expansion in youth academy top tier players are sold for much less than before
Also you see in our league how tough the league is because everyone is buying 90+ rated players for much less than before

100% agree. Even 30+M was common for players with potential to reach 80s and if I trained them to 80+ before selling, usually even more.

Goalkeepers though have clearly been the ones to drop in price most quickly as teams only need one great keeper when building up, at first anyway. Then as you progress and have more cash, you can get a second and maybe a third as emergency backup. But still always fewer than outfield positions.

My question is still there though, who wants him? And how much will you offer?

If you trained him to his potential before selling you would probably get 12m for him.

Okay, thanks for the feedback, Mr Cantona.

Just don't look at how much I paid for Amelio...I was young and naive

you are most welcome, you can have that one for free but the next will be chargeable.

Last day on the market for Aldersmith..

No bids yet, so a good chance to get him at list price.
