Very old squad and maybe only 2 players that could be traded to get similar or better players.

In saying that, they might be an option for a lot of managers who have no real future plan with their squad or are stagnating. I for one would have applied for this job when I was with Palmeiras but luckily Udinese were free and had a lot of potential. Couldn't see myself leaving now to be honest unless half my players get rating decreases.........

Best person to take them over would be an AC fan, .

Not sure if I can respond.... It's a direct question towards me but then again we were told not to quote mods and question them on thread....

Can you be more specific?

sorry I'll answer my own question.NO it isn't and don't do it again

tupac_healy · 14-04-2015 6:57pm

Yikes!! And with that beat swiftly change the subject......

Is it just me or have there been some shockin transfers lately and thinking more about it it seems to be the same managers getting caught eh?

Now I know transfers are by in large subjective and some think they are getting great deals but to consistently get the short end of the stick must be disheartening....... Eh

Some managers are definitely getting ripped off

GT_TDI_150 · 14-04-2015 9:33pm

Anyway, to try get this thread back on track.

Al Capwned · 14-04-2015 9:51pm

Whilst I think in this case you are right, It think it might be worth reviewing the rule ...

in that once someone shortlist a player, that should mean he cant be openly discussed.

Some team might have found a gem and is either waiting for a TB to end or for him to get cash together to buy him, it would be harsh on the manager to have the player mentioned here if he had been sitting on the info for 2-3 or more weeks.

So boards posters / mods are we interested in changing the guideline from 'when a manager has a bid on a player, he cant be discussed' to the suggested in the quote?

I definitely don't agree, sure I could just short list every player and no one can discuss them?

The fact that boards mods have no control over posts in game mean they can be discussed there anyway.

I don't really discuss prospects myself but this is unworkable IMO.

then why have rules in place here at all?

Kersplat does make a good point though. There's no way of me stopping anyone from mentioning top prospects over on SM. I mean, the rule on here should, and will, still stand, but there is a clear and obvious way around it that no mods can do anything about.

ctrl-alt-delete · 14-04-2015 11:09pm

Players are not normally discussed much in here in that sense, not normally until the bids have been accepted anyway.

Banning talk of a player because he is shortlisted is a bit over the top. The way it is now is fine I think. Although why someone would want to talk about it is beyond me too.

Some things can be controlled, this can be controlled on boards but not on SM. The lads can't card me for something I say on the SM forums/GW posts.

Anyway, as I said, i think it's unworkable because anyone could just keep short listing all the new players or even all the players!!

Or for example, someone short lists Reus and Aguero so no one can speak of them again? Would that be the rule?

I'm not trying to be difficult I just don't think your looking at all the angles.

What exactly would the rule be?

Your right, I know this as I've asked can the news feed comments not be held accountable to members here but I was told no..

Some have been using the newsfeed as of late for less than what it was intended, and, well, since its not regulated then they have free reign....

Which, if you think about it is feckin brilliant!!!!

if only reus had chosen the right path.....

not wanting to pick n you but this is a little pedantic...

The initial rule is mainly in place for players at externals or newly added to the db.

It was to prevent 1 manager having a bid on a little gem, someone spotting it and posting in here hence causing 10 other bids.

The likes of an aguerro or Hazard would most likely be announced as available if they were OR a deal would have been agreed on chat before people even realised what just happened when the bid is lodged and accepted.

If changing the rule to shortlisted players at externals or newly added to the db is unmanageable then the current rule is equally unmanageable, yet I dont remember to many occurrences of it getting breached on here.

KERSPLAT! · 14-04-2015 11:41pm

As I said, what exactly will the rule be?

It would have to be properly defined and again, they can still be discussed on SM itself.

Don't get me wrong, the idea is good. Managers losing out because someone blabs is a pain, I just can't see how it will work, that's not to say it can't though

I'll leave it at that, I just wanted to voice my opinion with regard to it not being feasible IMO
