amorwong Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 It is always great pleasure to sell your players over-priced and watch them slump afterwards. I just sold Saviola, 31-year-old, to Roma for 10M at the end of the last season. Four months later, at the start of the next season, its value has already dropped to 2.2M, and he has yet to play a single game for Roma. Feel like being able to sell stocks just before a crash Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malfuriouspete Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 although they were playing well for me, 14mil for Milner and 17.5mil for N'Zogbia to Arsenal after the first season. There are always good wingers available out there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 As a small-club manager, I have a habit of adding 50% sell-on clauses when my players are poached by big-time charlies.

millsy1982 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Although a quality player, I managed to sell Armed Traore (Arsenal LB) to Barcelona for 40 Million. The confusing thing being they played 3 at the back with a straight 5 man midfield. He has never caught. I replaced him with Pander from Shalke for 8.75 Million, who was just as good for me. I think the worst bit of bussiness that I thought was good at the time was selling Micheal Johnson for 16 Million to Liverpool with no sell on clauses and he had his best ever season, scoring a hat-trick against me in the League Cup Semi Final 1st Leg, two seasons later they sold him to Spurs for a massive 34.5 Million.

chanman Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I got something like $52 million for Altidore from Chelsea with a 50% resale clause and a friendly after 4 years on the roster. He was valued around $18 mill. Got $32 million for Schmeichel from one of the French sides a year after signing him on a free. Also got $18 for Eddie Johnson from Aston Villa 1 year after signing him for $3 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_33 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Giovanni dos Santos Signed him on free for Barcelona - he wouldn't renew his contract with them Played with us (Man Utd) for a couple of seasons and then sold him for around £28 million Nice profit and he put in some excellent performances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
llama3 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Somehow offloading Emmanuel Eboue from Arsenal, to Inter Milan for £18.5m.

Benjao Harding Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I took over at Liverpool in 2013 and signed an awesome regen left back for 350k. For the first three months of the season it was between him (Cosentio his name was) and Domenico Criscito. Come January my regen was playing a lot better and was only 19, stats rapidly improving so i got 30mil from Barca for Criscito, best bit of business in my fm history!

Bocundji Ca, brought for £3.5mill, sold for £9 mill +45% to Man U 6 months after he signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic_1967 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Signed Defoe on a free in FM07, scored in excess of 60 goals in his only season at Celtic.

Decadent Sympozium Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Got 85 mil for Cristiano Ronaldo. The boy never fits in any of my teams ever. Nice sum, eh? But beside these high-price-super-club sells, probably the wildest one was 35 for Ballack - because I got Ballack on free transfer, he had a good season, and his price went skyhigh after Tottenham offered that much, which not only surprised me, but shocked me.

Yunny Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 In FM06, I signed Park Joo-Young (or Park Chu-Young), the then-red-hot Korean forward for about USD1.5M to Ajax, sold him 4 years later for some 50M to AC Milan. By then I already had a harem of promising strikers looking to have a shot at the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
al23 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I managed to get 60M € from Drogba sold to AC Milan, he got injured for 2 months 2 days after his transfer and played only 2 games for Milan.

rich10 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Just sold Kuyt to spurs for £14m, which consider to be decent money. Crouch is also at Milan on mine but i only got £7.5m for him. But Joaquon was listed for £14.5m and i wanted him badly (he choose Inter in the end, gutted) I used to get offers for alonso (FM06) for £25m-£30m but replacing him for less than £10m was much harder than i first thought.

r0x0r Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 A few teams were sniffing around (Arsenal's) Denilson, so i thought i'd put them off by negotiating a 30 mil bid for the kid...

midlothian Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 On FM 07 I had a regen right-back named Lee Everett. He was my second choice for his post when Roma came calling. They submitted an enquiry and I replied that for £60m they would get him. Obviously, I wanted to simply price them out as I had no intention of selling the player. However, they offered me £60m... I, of course, did not turn it down as it was too good an opportunity. I made Everton rich as they had a 20% sell on clause. Bet they didn't expect to get as much for a player they had sold for £1m!

cliff7197 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I sold Michael Owen to Inter Milan for £15m in the first January transfer window. Over 3 full seasons, he scored 10 league goals. He then moved to Man United for £4.4m and scored 6 league goals in 2 seasons, in 43 games. He's now rotting in their reserves at the age of 32 (Nearly 33). He still looks pretty decent tbh but they've got much better options now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kain Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Christian Albert, a regen midfielder.
