Anyone seen this before...

Last night i started a career with Birmingham. I put Rahdi Jaidi on the transfer market and offered to clubs. A club called Catania made an offer which i accepted and then i continued the game. The next thing that comes up is something along the lines of ''Rahdi Jaidi is only willing to join Catania on a lower wage if you agree to pay £3,600 per week towards his wages'' with the option of agree or disgree.

I agreed and off he went. This is the first time i had seen this come up and my brother who also spends a fair amount of time on the game had not seen it before also.

never seen it, wis i could choose to o it just to get rid of somepeople, many a time players have refused to go becuase the wages they are getting offered are too low.

I have seen it quite a few times in the last couple of FM games.

Tends to be the well known greedy money-grabbing b*****ds in my experience. I reckon Robbie Savage would be a prime candidate for this lol.

I had it with Andreas?? Isaksson in my Man City game last night.

Offered him out to Espanyol but he says that he wants about £7k a week from me until the end of his contract, I said no.

Sold him in the summer to Sunderland instead.

happened with me at birmingham aswell but with oliver tebeliy

Yeah I've had this. It's been on the last couple of releases iirc. They probably added it when Robbie Fowler left Leeds, I think they still pay some of his wages now! LOL!!!

Yeah. This situation comes up WAY too rarely. In the case of hard-to-shift players, I'd love having the option to hint at possible buyers that I'd pay some of the player's future wages.

It could be implemented in the following way: When offering the player to clubs there would be a customizable tick box, pertaining to supplementary future wages, ranging from, say, 10 to 50% of current wages. Thus it would be up to the manager to find a reasonable level of expense set against the option of either mutually terminating or outright firing the player.

yeah seen it before, but not much though. best example was on FM06 when Sol Campbell would only move to deportivo for £29,500 a week from me until end of his current deal.

i had this on fm07 at real madrid with cassano.

the little *blighter* refused the deal, and i ended up releasing him on a free for £3M compensation, but amazingly, he said that he was so good that he'd have no trouble finding a new club and he didn't want any compensation. he left for nothing, and rotted in the wilderness before retiring

I've had it with Geremi too.

Good feature though, even if it does come up rarely.

Its a good feature i have used it a few times when selling a couple of boro players to championship sides. Got to watch out tho because i done it and didnt realise i had to pay someone £9k for 2 more years!

Oh well.

happen me before mate when i was newcastle boss and tried to sell Micheal owen to spurs

Happened to me once.

Jonathan Evans tried this on in my Man U. game after Newcastle came in for him.

He wanted over 11000 a week from the club for 3 years... I duly refused, although money wasn't a problem, it was just the principle of the thing.

He enjoyed all his football in the reserves for the rest of the season. Greedy so-and-so.

Happened to me at Real Madrid with Guti, IMO it should happen more, especially when a club is interested in signing one of your players but comes back and says 'can't afford wage demands'. Would be helpful to get players on 30k+ a week off the wage bill for say 5/10k per week. I ended up paying Guti £9k per week for a year, but that still was a saving of £31k per week, and i finally got a transfer fee!!

This happened to me when I was managing my beloved Newcastle. Mark Viduka had a shocking season so I thought I'd offload him and his £60,000 a week wages. In came Villa with a bid of £2m. 'Great' I thought. Then comes the news that Viduka wanted me to put £25,000 a week towards his wages...

He ended up leaving for Manchester City for £1.3m the week after.

Yeah I've had this a couple of times. The best though is when you try to sign a player a little out of your reach and the other team says they'll pay x amount until the end of his contract, gotta love that.

I had it last night too, with Charles Itandje, I was so angry at this cheek I refused it and stuck him in the reserves to rot...

Oh, also when I signed Van Der Vaart, Roma paid £5k a week so he would accpet my lesser offer...
