Don't see the hassle in making the bids public. The manager has clearly put out a public "come and get them" message and if the manager makes such bids public, then that's his choice. Don't see why anyone would get annoyed with a manager trying to get the best deal for themselves by making bids public.

Anyway, I max bid on Chico but wouldn't have enough now to go for multiple players. I'd like CB cover more than left back, hence why I went for him over the other guy to start off with

KERSPLAT!

Wouldn't bother me if my bid was made public but I suppose they were made as undisclosed bids and maybe should be kept that way or atleast tell bidders before hand that bids will be public, like the Bale deal, if I remember correctly

I have no problem if someone is going to make bids public, as I know then I have no interest in trying to buy the player.

Yeah I can get you want to maximise the cash, but theres something very annoying about having each and every counter bid put up, for me personally it feels like my time and effort is simply being used to generate a bidding war.

I guess part of the excitement of the bidding process is you may pip another team with a better offer and they don't know until you have them, where as public offers or player auctions as I call em simply mean if you max bid and it's made public your fecked cause another team know exactly how they can better you if they have more money.

For the record whenever I'm selling I never tell anyone else what the competitor are bidding, just seems a tad bad form, this is just my own feelings however.

If I get multiple bids and some aren't up to scratch to the competition I simply make a counter offer with what I think is fair and if they reject I simple keep counter bidding and negotiating until I get a deal I'm happy with.
I'm not directing this at you Malaga manager, just in general I'm talking.

Lads the owner of the player when transfer lusting them can "make all bid's public" if he wishs it's apart of the game. If you intentionally try and low ball your first bid looking for a counter offer maybe pm the bid but allways beware the owner can make the bids public on here aswelk as sm if he wants too use it too get himself a higher fee!

Exactly. Again, it was just my opinion and not having a pop at Danger781

another day another controversy :rolleyes:

Its true what they say about new-cycles!

Lord TSC

The other side though is if...

Club A bids 10m
Club B bids 11m

Personally, I'd rather said bids were made public cause if I'm club A and I learn I miss out by such a little amount and I wasn't given the chance to better my bid, I'd be incredibly frustrated.

This.

If I'm bidding on a player, and I know what the max bid is, I can then decide whether I want to compete or move on. Next time I won't list the clubs, I'll just reveal the highest bid. If someone really doesn't want their bid revealed at all under any circumstances, then feel free to pm me along with the bid. I'm against this undisclosed crap, but that's just me.

Anyway, I rejected the De Ceglie offer.

Update on bids...



All cash offers so far

I'm surprised there's not more interest in Paolo DE CEGLIE.. People always seem to be looking for a LB, now there's an 88 ranked one available, and I got one bid..
Valencia have made an offer to Málaga CF for Paolo DE CEGLIE of 5,000,000.

I'd throw something at De Ceglie if I had cash but I don't

I'd also do a swap deal.

I'm in the same boat, good player on the market and little.in the way of interest??

Surprising...

If.I had cash I'd be in on him for sure

Great deal for you.
Srna should at least hold 90 for a good while.
Ronaldinho has been tearing it up in Brazil so he should keep his rating.

But imo you're a bit off on your valuation of Morata. Par the Euro U21's he's been very average and I doubt he'll make it at Madrid.

Edit: Funnily enough I sold both Ronaldinho & Morata to Shakhtarr :V

I know,but if he leaves madrid he will be going to pool or arsenal.wenger tried to negotiate a deal for him deadline day. im opitimistic.

He won't be going to Arsenal.
We were only interested in a loan move at the time.

His best chance of rising is to leave Madrid and get game time as a starter.
Also I've sent you a pm

Rayne Wooney

Anyone else selling a striker over 90?

Looking to upgrade, I can offer Sow + 30m depending on the player

Bejaysus Sow must feel loved with a manager like you!!

Al Capwned

Great deal for you I reckon.
Improves your team, and like TSC said Morata is only going one direction.

I'd keep him but it probably won't be until the summer when he gets a big move in real life to get a rating increase and I'd rather get a higher rated player in now than wait

Lord TSC

I'm thrilled Hernandez somehow escaped a drop down (at least during the major PL review that just took place). Was scared he'd drop from 91 given he's played about 60 seconds of gametime this season :P Hoping at this stage, he might retain it till the summer, and if he moves, he should keep it ok.

Yeah it takes a 33 year old 88DC out of my team too,I had ronaldinho in the good league and he was on fire im hoping he still is....Think this deal could of won me the championship......

Al Capwned

Another deal that leaves both sides happy.
Can only be a good thing!
