Arsenal have just tabled a bid of €37.5m for a centre back I signed for €2.5m.
Arsenal were taken over by a consortium last season, upgraded their training and youth facilities and are now looking to sign some marquee players, they can take a long walk off a short pier! Maybe its a sign of what Stan might do IRL! :P
Bayern have put a bid of €13m for my other CB, I signed him for €3.5m.
I'm not going to find gems like those two for a good while, **** off with yer money!!
EDIT
Here are the two players in question
My captain
A perfectionist, thats volatile, media friendly & confrontational. I've had no problems with him so far and he's a beast at set pieces. I have thought him the run with ball rarely PPM aswell
His partner in crime who keeps Rafael Toloi on the bench
He has a professional personality and evasive media handling type.
I didnt have to tutor either, just buy and play them and they turned out like that!! I paid those relatively high fees for them because they only moved clubs the previous season. My scouts were abit late spotting them but I had to have them and they were well worth it.0 -

Bloody impressive players you have there... although if I were in your shoes I don't know whether I'd have the same attitude to the money involved
I've a great attachment to a few of the young lads I've brought in but, if I could sell one or two and put it back into the club for a bigger stadium/better facilities, I probably would.
In my FM 2010 game I'd one such player I brought in from my academy at the age of 15 (20 at time of sale) and was a first teamer, keeping out a 25 y.o full international. Chelsea, Arsenal, Utd, Liverpool, Bayern, Inter, Milan, Barça and Real were all after the lad and I wanted to keep him. But when Barça and Inter bid for him I said see ya later...
As he was a youth player he was free but they'd bid £35 million for him (eventually went to Barça). Ridiculous money imo, so decided to sell him and was able to upgrade my training and youth facilities at the end of the year, as well as expand the stadium by 20,000 seats which was incredible for my little Villarreal. El Madrigal at the time had only 28,000 after a previous expansion (original size was 25,000 seats).0 -

Great players, cant wait to pick up decent regens myself.
Can anyone explain this, I sold Aquilani to Man Citeh for 13.5m. One year on and 2 unimpressive appearances they shift him on to A.C for 30m :eek:
LOL, gotta love FM at times
I use Aquilani as cover in CM/ACM and he's actually decent!0 -

Use the latest one (11.3) to have all of the up-to-date transfers and bug fixes
but go into editor first and edit the percentage frequency of the injuries by about 5 or 10%. It'll only take about 5 minutes to do so, but will save you from many bouts of anger after your squad has been severely depleted due to the many breakages of bones and major muscle tears that should rarely occur. 0 -

Aaron, is it possible to make the changes in the editor after already starting a game? I started a new game a few weeks ago - still in November - but suffering from numerous injuries etc.0 -

I'm using the fittest 11 I can out of all squads. Hopefully this will get the bank balance close to 0. If I'm shagged for morale I'll just play against my reserves a couple of weeks before the start of the season.
Sounds like you're trying to kill them Good plan to play against the reserves to keep morale up, never thought of that when I was in the lower leagues. My fellas were demoralised when I asked them to train harder to up their fitness...I had theirs and the clubs interests at heart but they just thought I was another dictator manager

Open to correction as I don't know the ins and outs of the game all that well (and haven't tried it myself), but as far as I know it isn't possible. I'm afraid you're going to have to do one of two things... keep soldiering on and squeezing that stress ball (:p) or edit the database and start afresh. I've done both in the last few weeks and tbh, I dunno which is the best option.
I've a 5 season Liverpool game that I just do not want to quit as I've put so much time into finding quality youths. The other game I've started as Dortmund, I'm halfway through season 2 (had to take time off for college work but shall resume soon enough) and haven't had half the injuries I suffered in my other game.0 -
Moved on from Barsnley, went to West Ham, a team with more hope for the future or so I thought. Took over from Gary Neville, wow what a dreadful dreadful manager. No players loaned out, but not including players loaned in, the club has 13 players on the books. Which includes 2 Under 18's I brought up and all reserves, as well as 3 goalkeepers. Awful stuff.
Wish I had of took the Boro job. Even though the Hammers only have 13 players on their books (Under 18's don't count as they are on very little) the wage bill is £97K + That's basically all just in Mark Noble who is on 36K, and Gary O'Neil who is on 26K. Killing me so they are... But hey that's half the fun Trying to get rid of the both of them now, get in some free transfers and that. 0 -

All I can do is laugh... some situation the Hammers are in having only 13 players. Almost like Pompey if you start a new game. At least you can build upon the wage bill :pac:0 -

Signed for €4.1m ~3 seasons ago.
Poor at Rushing Out and labelled fairly inconsistent by my goalkeeping coaches but those are minor flaws!
Best thing is that he signed his latest contract without a clean sheet bonus, read the small print and weep!!! :pac:0 -
