I know who I'd rather try and develop between the two. Don't know if it's a fair comparison, over the five years, Sears had regular championship level football in my save (but as previously stated, was trained by the computer). Hines had two seasons trained by me but played 8 games before being loaned out for a season to Leeds and playing regular footy in the premiership.
If you want either, I suggest customising Sears training to intensive finishing and Hines to intensive aerobic.
