Must say i don't like the attitude towards rookies there. You're hardly making people want to sign up by saying you would basically rather not sign them because you don't know if they're going to stay around.

Also, your 2nd sentence makes no sense to me whatsoever. What expanded team?

Not saying there are not going to hang around at all. But realistically the guys from the folded are probably going to hang longer, as the all came back after a long break. If you want to build a side you better off IMO picking CW players you feel will hang around long term. By mergering two sides, your limiting the option of other sides to sign those type of players.

By expanded I meet folded.

I am mainly if favour of merging 2 teams. I was worried about having to fold a team and merging 2 seems to be the best way.

However, my main concern is that we will have 6 good CW keepers for 5 CW teams and one will have to sit on the bench which is not really what we want.
