No, which in theory is promoting youth development.

I understand your argument though.

I agree with Will, actually if you are supposed to promote a player every week, and you need to keep them in order to avoid the taxes on the transaction then how much do you actually need to charge to make a profit on the player. The average youth pull would need at least 15 weeks to be a halfway decent player. at the average of 1.5k wage per week that's 22.5k in wages alone add in the 2k for the pull, plus there's still a tax on the players transaction at 15 weeks. Plus you add the fact that we don't really know what decent players are actually going to do, it's a difficult decision on paying out for a player every week. it's a bare minimum 25k investment to bring a player to market. Just to add numbers to the arguement.

At the moment youngsters are pretty equal as a rest of the team, because, in general, all players are crap. So, at the moment it might happen to sell a youngster and to make profit (I sold one for 50.000 in which case 25% tax is not a big deal), but as players will develop it will be impossible to sell any young boys...

not really, because at some point you have to look at the wages earned on your team 2k per youth player plus 1.5k average in wages adds up quickly. With limited ROI on those players you have to wonder...

Are you sure that there is 2.000 tax for pulling the player?
