the blue ferret Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I had my eye on a 16 year old. To offer a contract I would need to pay 500k with it rising to 1.3 in the future. I only have 300k to spend so I left it. The next day Bristol City get the player, still 16, for free. How is this? Does the tribunal fee just not show up the player history?

trekman Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Did he sign a pre-contract agreement? I dont really know but thats my guess. Either that or he was releasedd from his clubb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoleman1 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 i have noticed this before. when you go to bid for a newgen or a regen in the transfer screen it says who is interested in him and the AI clubs can have (free) listed next to the transfer but the human club can only bid a value.

TigerJoe Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 They could of sent in a offer for 0. Sometimes clubs accept 0 offers because they don't think the player has potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the blue ferret Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Be very careful... Ha, I will thanks. No, it was like the same type of signing as I tried to make (Approach to sign, rather than Make a Bid). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergiu21 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 if you 'approach to sign' a youth player, then the original club gets a compensation. What the CPU clubs did was to make a bid of 0, which the original club accepted because they did not value the player. They probably had a '% of next sale' clause in there. the compensation for approach to sign is automatic, so you need to offer 0 to get players that arent viewed highly by their clubs for free Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
