    While I get your point, what else is there to do with money?

    Fair enough as well if you don't see yourself playing for that long. I potentially do, so I'll happily pay the 2.4m I am allowed and which I have to spare by a long way. It's either that or let the money sit there and fester.

    People can do what they want with their money, I was just saying, for me, it's overpaying unless you're here in two years which I don't see why I wouldn't be but anything can happen in 2 years.


    @tupac:

    Does that not make your theory invalid if Tottenham can outbid PSV for a youth player. It's not just been you that's saying it, even Mac has said that the smaller clubs can outbid big clubs with youth players but evidently that theory is wrong based on this,

    About the first part, no... not at all. People said the same when I paid 3.2 for Benzia.... TODAY I turned down 6mil for him!!


    They dont have to sit in the youth team!!!


    We spurs have a vast fortune compared to me, yet I could outbid him, but then Villa (is it??? ) can outbid me.....

    It seems pretty random to be honest


    EDIT: and I could.have doubled my money on Olinga.... buying these players and selling on for 100% profit is another option compared to keeping in reserve......

    I'd imagine that how much you have in your bank, annoyingly, doesn't impact on your max bid.

    It seems to be based on how many people for that position you have. I've got a few who can play attacking midfielder, so there's not a NEED for the player in my team. Likewise, I'm fairly certain you've got a fairly large youth team, so I'd imagine you've got a lot of people in that position too.

    Meanwhile, there's a lot of teams who, as I said, don't "scout" players, don't sign up loads of kids...and because of that, will have the advantage here because they don't have the competition for places so their chairman sees the player as more needed. :/ Hence, bigger bid.

    I think you may be right, I considered this myself as I do have a few attacking options...


    Would have been interesting if I had sold Hernanes last night, thats my only 91 attacking talent gone, maybe I could hsve bid.more then???

    If its not completely random then I would agree with you, sounds plausible

    Some good news...

    Dave Shadow has guided Tottenham Hotspur to a SMFA Super Cup Final win against Feyenoord!!
    Tottenham Hotspur were the better team and beat Feyenoord 4 - 1 in the final to lift the trophy.
    Eto'o scored a goal and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.
    González and Navas were also amongst the goalscorers.


    Another 1m prize money to blow on hookers. 3rd Trophy Bitches!

    Wouldn't have copped it only it was mentioned here. My max bid is 2.7m, and I've no intention of spending on him..

    Meanwhile, I have spent 4.3m on this 88 rated cf.
    The offer for Pierre WEBÓ of Bursaspor from AZ has been accepted. The transfer will be completed within the next 24 hours.

    Straight fight between himself and Jozy Altidore for the #9 now.

    And I may not be finished yet.... ;)

    Oh well!!! Preseason hasn't gone well. Hopefully it'll be better when the season starts tomorrow!!


    Oh and on the max bid thing, I think I might bid after all! I can go up to 3.1m!!! :P :P :pac::D

    Awh, and I liked you too. Shame you've got to go on the blacklist now :(

    Joke ha ha ha... Knew youd get a kick outta it.


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


    I hope there's a part added in the charter that prohibits talk of any player at an external club or free agent that another manager has a bid in for.

    A ban for somebody doing it twice would put an end to it for good.

    I've asked yakult for this!

    Noticed though I'm up to second in the manager's rankings though, so obviously getting points for winning the Gold Trophies.

    Prob getting big points too dude. SMFA would encourage lads too be gold managers


    As for all the talking about not been here in 1r2 years you would be VERY surprised...I'm playing one world for 4 years! You get VERY attached too the players and more so youths who you put the time and effort into tracking down! You'll find your self sky plusing the bundislega show and seen if your players played or whos the best in the team etc!

    I'm hoping to be in this game for a long time ... (and with my starting team FCP, no jumping ship here :p)

    However, those in the origional thread that said 5mins daily is all the time it will take to play this game ... :rolleyes: pull the other one ;)

    I have a number of young lads in that position too, so it must be based on a number of things.

    I have withdrawn my bid anyways, will hold my money for another youngster due to be added soon.
