Here's my newly acquired trainee. With only having one slot available and a budget of 80k I went for a wk/batsman. He may play in the Blonde Cup but won't make the Friday team - yet

23. Jermain Cohen - 17 yo, BT Rating=4,235
RH Batsman, RF Bowler, respectable batting form, respectable bowling form, fresh
A destructive player with abysmal leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: competent
Batting: mediocre Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: worthless Consistency: worthless
Fielding: abysmal
wages:684p/w so I'm optimistic he's a high med batter (or a high comp keeper)
He cost 65k, putting me 75k in the red. I wanted a comp/comp batter but soon reaslised that'll have to wait for next year, as they are going for around 150-200k
Plan is to double bat net for five weeks then single net to hit respectable batting by the end of the season. Also six weeks of wk nets and five weeks of stamina nets.
Next season he'll bat and have 1xwk, 1xbat, 1xfield and four weeks of stamina nets
Season after that he'll bat and keep wicket, and net on1 xbat and 1xstam
So, in two seasons time I'll have a high prof/strong bt, strong wk comp stam med field number six/wk (I hope)
and in three seasons time he'll be superb/superb bat, strong wk, strong stam, med field
and then he goes onto 1x bat for another two seasons until he's quite remarkable.
