7.


FIFA Under 20 World Cup 20

Lawl. If Youngster is trying to miss on purpose, then it is definitely going in. He has no control over what a football does at that distance.

He's finally gonna score. He's missed 99 times, and now it's time for the 1 in a 100.

When it first clicked that he might have to sell Youngster it hurt. I laughed aloud at the end. Great chapter

Weirwood

Effing long shots 1!

Caerold

I demand short chapter on weekend. This cliff is war crime!!!

OGKamikaze

Then everyone will think he can do it on the regular and Max will get his 10mil.

Lord Falco

I think his finishing was 7 actually, but yeah, long shots was 1,he should never be kicking the ball from outside the box

Piras

On paper he should never even think of shooting the ball, but something has me thinking he's about to sneakily pull a Vincent Kompany and absolutely blast it top bins

I imagine this was a brutally hard chapter to write, but it was one of the very very best to read. It covers a huge but meaningful stretch of time and its subject material is so broad (and complex to maintain all the continuity), yet you manage to keep it detailed, focused and character centric (I effing love that a 24 year old rock star still has something of a fish out of water imposter syndrome thing going). It's so good I don't even mind the cliff since it feels so well earned as the reader. Kudos, Ted, keep on keeping on.

Max Milbury

Thanks for your support?! This is how you thank us?!

James Probert

Well there go all the million pound plus offers. I know DMs aren't there to score goals, but when he kicks the ball out of the stadium it will not reflect well on him.

Oh good gods Ted, that cliff is fucking evil. I wonder if Youngster is missing on purpose to stay at Chester. Emma the incredibly heavy sleeper and the Neck Pillow Incident is beyond adorable. I get the feeling I'm supposed to really care about losing Foquita because of the mom, but instead she's made it a win-win. Get him, get an awesome striker. Lose him, avoid having to work around a nightmare tiger mom. Genuinely unsure what the best move for youngster would be. A higher rank team would push him higher, but Max is probably the single best developer of players in the system. Hard to say who could get Youngster higher long-term.

Traumatized for life

Ooooh what a good chapter. I love getting back to the football.

Carlos Garcia

Wow

Galeg

With a finishing of like 2

K

If I recall correctly it was long shots 1.

tp19orc

What a chapter! What was youngsters long shots score again...

Josh Enterman

God damn it youngster. I bet he'll score and will forever keep trying to chase the same high causing gray hairs for coaches.

I like the technocrat pose from a characterization standpoint. Max is trying to be cool with his new business contacts, but it's also a way for him to try to push down the emotions coming up from maybe having to sell youngster. The realities of football as a business coming up against Chesterness.

Oh holy hell! That cliffhanger
