I know nothing about soccer/football and this is incredibly interesting. I'm just sad you had to leave all those virile young men behind, but there's always more where that came from.

These boys are not young enough, what is the going rate on younger boys? Take that. You started this line of joking. Edit: But serious, I don't wanna stretch our budget too thin, so I'm only going with the 50k option.

Justin Bailey is seriously my favorite player on your team. He was the moment you showed his name. I'm thrilled that he's also doing incredibly well (playing well above his appraised skill level, even!) I'm tempted to try to customize a Wrexham jersey with his name and number on it unironically. I never want him to leave, but his eventual aging and fall from grace is gonna be so sad for me. It may not be a long time until you get another man like Justin Bailey, but man. I still think he's one of a kind.

Scout all you want but I'm not gonna be satisfied until we get a natively Welsh player who had parents traditional enough to name him in a proper olden welsh way. Granting us a baller whos name is an indecipherable string of consonants. Pnyydhh Fvngydd or something beautiful like that. (It seems like you always get your good players stolen for international duty though and I doesn't higher tiers of play have a mandatory amount of UK you need to field?)

It makes me so happy seeing Bailey still getting time on the field and apparently not doing too awfully despite being incredibly out of his league. He is still first team in my heart.

I know I'm not the one that won, but we need a good Captain and Bailey has been with us for a long time. Perhaps bump him up a bit and give him a great leadership score? (And maybe edit his coaching scores while you're at it so after he's done being our captain he can train our kids. ) Bee attack in a Sri Lankha vs England test match: Jenner fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Jun 11, 2014 |

[Slurringly] Y... y'should vote fer meee caush I'mma... I'mma clone Jushtin Bailey. Tom Jones still recovering from the shock as security rushes the stage. [Slurringly] An... an... everyone getsh a sheep, I'm like... fuckin' Oprah with sheep. You fuckers know who Oprah is right? Security grapples with the woman as the crowd explodes into applause. [Howlingly] WE'RE GONNA SCORE SO MANY TOUCHDOWNS! Security drags her away to a standing ovation and Tom Jones resumes his show. Style of Play: I and III, this is how you win games right?
