    He deserved a bidding war for other players to bid on him, seeing he is a club legend for London City. Bet you were quite sad to see him go in all honesty.

    If someone back in the 1880s decided to form a football team from London and called it London City, It would of represented the entire city and probably would of blew Arsenal,Chelsea,Tottenham,West Ham,etc out of the water.

    If thats the case why do Spurs fans complain about Arsenal moving from south to north london?

    Hope that's not me that you're labelling an Arsenal fan!!!!! If so, go wash your mouth out with soap.

    I was a bit. Been at the club for six seasons. I had intended to keep him as a reserve player, but as I've had to strengthen my team because of quality opponents, I had no real option but to sell him, to make way for a scout striker of 20yo.

    6 seasons is a long time for a player to remain at a club on this game, especially of the loss of a star every 28 days on promotion, so without a bit of PT it's difficult for a player to keep up to the 75 skill points needed a season to maintain a relative quality to a new level.

    If you bought a 5*69 player at L10, in three seasons time his quality needs to be 84 and in six seasons his quality needs to be 99 to maintain the same relative amount of quality to level. thats not easy for most players and possibly the youngest of fast trainers are the only ones that can maintain this over a prolonged period of time. I bought Killerich a few seasons ago and he made it to 6* 3 seasons just by natural growth, I used him as a back-up and he didn't get power trained, I sold him last season because he was 21 and moves into the next training speed bracket for this season.

    He was 19 when I bought him as a scout player. But of course, I did benefit because at that time, I was playing in a league above my manager rating, so although I got him through my scout, he was actually a 7* player (to me). So even when he dropped down a star the following season, he was still a 6, nearing 7 again.
