Default Youth camps idea - good or bad?

I dont know if its been discussed but i couldnt find any threads labled youth camps so heres the idea.

What if the clubs can create youth camps via the board room screen, like adding a feeder club. Then the board will reply with possible countries and you have to pick one.

Then throughout the season you can get a message:
'(your assistant) has found a prospect in your (country) youth camp. Do you wish to sign him?'

Then you have the options of view scout report, offer trial and offer contract.

Feedback welcome!

I would like to see something like this, but the expenses of running one would have to be very high, so that only the richest clubs could afford to run one.

We should also be able to hire staff to help coach the youth players at the academy, or leave this to a manager (running the risk that they won't be as good as our own choices), and obviously, we would have first choice of the players available.

Not the sure the point of that jibe.

Given the current football climate, it makes a lot of sense for clubs to have the option of actively seeking out talent this way.

I like the idea anyway.

I like the idea. It would also add a level of interactivity regarding the youth system.

That is very important. The monthly expenses would have to be very very high. If they weren't, every club in the world would have tons of youth camps in every country.

Great idea :thup:...agree with Bongo that only rich clubs should be able to afford it...however not keen on hiring staff..instead we should have a choice of offer youth contracts to players that we want...

And why should he play total club manager???if i am not mistaken, then a number of features such as manager contracts, board expectations and feeder clubs (i think ) were first introduced in TCM and then in FM...no one had complained then
