Presenting my wonderkid...

Age at start of game: 19 years.
Club at start of game: Bolton Wanderers

Here are his screen-shots at the age of 23. ( Bayern Munich made a bid of 10 million pounds + 35% profit from next sale and my chairman intervened and sold him )

At the start of the game, 4 years ago, he did not look like much. He had an acceleration of 11 and I do not like to play deep. Paul Robinson of Bolton used to screw up frequently and so I was forced to play him in the side and he responded magnificently. Obviously, he used to get skinned by extremely fast wingers, but he managed to deal with them decently with the help of his high aggression and tough tackling. He is very decent with the ball at his feet and possess a superb long shot. After I played him regularly his stats started to improve but not much. 'Glide on water' wingers like Nani used to torture him.
Robinson was sold the next season as he was too old and was replaced by Stephen Salger of Koln who became my first choice LB. Marocs Alonso made very few league appearance, but played all the cup matches and the Europa League.
He was an average player and I decided that I needed a better back up to Salger than Marocs Alonso. I was in the process of selling him when the game decided to go kamikaze on all my left footed players. Salger was sent to the hospital for around 4 months with a fractured leg. So I had to make an emergency purchase of Lee Wallace to be my first choice LB. Lee Wallace was excellent going forward, but not so good in defending. So Marcos Alonso usurped his place and went on to become my first choice LB. With the help of Lee Wallce's tutoring he simply blossomed...
Highlights of Marcos Alonso's time with me:
1. Went on a 26 match unbeaten run in the 3 rd season.
2. Meanest back 4 in the EPL ( Guilo Donati, Gary Cahill, Andrea Esposito, Marcos Alonso )
3. English League Cup 2011, 2013
4. FA cup runner up 2012
5. Europa League 2013.
My chairman unfortunately sold him before the Europa Super Cup. Stephen Salger took his place and we won.
As his replacement I have signed Taye Taiwo of Marseille on loan for 300k pounds. Marseille have also loaned me their right back Cesar Azipilicueta... And both their contracts are gonna run out in 10 months... LOL... Crazy Marseille
