    My chairman is some pain in the hole, want to sign a player, young guy, improver, low 80's rating but I feel he will improve alot in the coming years rating wise. Very highly rated and can see him playing for a decent team in the near future, he is currently valued at 4.3 million in the game

    Grand, except my chairman values him at 1.4 million and I cant make any sort of effort to sign him, ****ing joke.

    That's because you must have alot of similar players age and position wise in your team already bud

    Completely irrelevant :)

    Can never have too many promising youngsters in this game, it would be different if I needed to be playing them or blooding them to develop them but I have nothing to do with it, plenty of guys I have wanted to buy are not even in the game database yet which is also frustrating!

    What difference does it make to the chairman anyway? He should back me in the transfer market, not like spending 500k-5mil is going to break the club

    Stats all sound very familiar to me, and so i have made a bid for a player i have had on my shortlist which may or may not be him,

    I had earmarked himself and Rhodes early on, Secured Rhodes and said I'd leave the other,

    If it is him you have just panicked me into trying to sign him, when i really should be strengthening elsewhere :pac:

    I dunno, I dont think its the same guy cause nobody showed up as interested in him :)

    Any half well known young player is more then likely after being snapped up by Dortmund or Juve, few I have looked for were already gone (the advantages of playing this game a long time, get them straight away in a new gameworld)

    There are plenty who have not even been added to the database yet though so keeping my eyes peeled there.

    It must not be, but as I say you panicked me :)

    Don't think he is the Real Madrid type of player anyways!

    I bet you are glad to have had a 2 goal come back of your own last match day, after what happened in El Classico!

    RIGHT..I was led too belive that Chelsea were unmanaged.They are not.YET.So the 24 hour clock on the applications hasnt started not until they remove the current manager!

    Bremen Eric Pepper 26 Days
    Celtic Michael Gavin 27 days
    FC Twente Darren Smyth 29 days
    Chelsea Rory Brett 29 Days
    Are all close too being removed as managers so i think there will be a manager merry go around begining shortly.NO APPLICATIONS too be made untill they are unmanaged tho!


    Willow Murphy has become the new Estudiantes manager.


    Eddy Mac was unable to prevent a Dortmund defeat to Barcelona.
    Dortmund lost 4 - 3 to Barcelona in a thrilling Division 1 encounter.
    Götze and Rémy were amongst the goalscorers.

    Real Madrid
    Dortmund
    Barcelona
    Paris SG
    all in persuit of each other!

    The chairman is probably the one thing that would drive me off the game right now.

    I go back to the Benteke example, where I happily would have paid around 25m, but my chairman wouldn't let me do more than 15m. At the moment, players are going for between double and triple what their ingame worths are, and that's grand cause that's our prerogative as managers. And I get that they want some safeguards against cheating.

    But we shouldn't be limited by the chairman like that. If I want to pay X for a player, then it's my (game) money to spend. If there's dodgy deals, it should be up to whoever's running the gameworld to investigate, not the "chairman".

    Anyway, I too am starting to snap up as much young talent as I can. I've already beaten Juvi to one guy, and have two more young guys waiting to accept the deals. But I'm guessing there's a few of us using the same forums right now and trying to sign up new, young players as soon as they are recommended on there?

    you should put a bid in for Gyliano VAN VELZEN.

    i thought i'd be logging on today to see i'd snapped him up but it fell through (said i didnt have the funds which is BS)

    Dortmund and someone else have already lodge bids so you better get a move on. i'm letting this one slide now as i've found a better prospect.....

    Gonna put a bid on him, don't want him but it will force the other managers to up their bids..:D:D

    Done :P

    The only major worry I have is about how long people will stick with the game.

    I've joined games similiar to this before only for everyone else to stop playing after a while :( Obviously the way development works in this game is that it takes months/years (as opposed to days, ala FM). Be interesting to see if people stick with the gameworld long term and we see profits on these youngsters.

    i was just offering advice on a young fella. wasn't expecting others to jump on board so fast.... anyway it makes transfers more interesting when there's more involved!

    It doesn't when you just hand out a BIG prospect too guys!you wouldn't have liked yesterday when I seen you bidded for him for me too post his name!i only bidded this morning as your deal fell threw!many times ive bidding on players and others have gotten involved and I didn't post the names here!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,470 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I'd be inclined to agree with Mac that it's somewhat unfair if you've spent time scouting a guy and spot a good chance to snag a kid with potential, and then someone comes on here and just tells everyone.

    Not, mind, that I'm retracting my bid. Info is out now so I'm going for him at the lowest possible price. But I'd imagine if one or two of the kids I'd found had been outed like that, I'd be irked too...:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,158 ✭✭✭✭hufpc8w3adnk65


    Thanks Dave
    I posted a big list of players here not so long ago but was carefull not too post players there was bids in on.I think it's wholey unfair too post young players or even post players who are at external clubs and there transfer bans are about too finish just so the player begins an auction!

    Sure ya have half the players in the game already...Stop being greedy!!!:P:P:P


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,067 ✭✭✭MarkY91


    if you cant bid high enough for a player then its because you have too many players in that position. if you sold one of them players then your max bid for the certain player will increase

    Just because he plays for man united doesn't mean he's automatically a great prospect

    how do real life transfers effect SM

    with bayern signing Goetze - how does this effect our game?
