Ridiculous wage demand

Im Manchester City and on the first day of the new game, before andbody else could offer, put in a bid for marco verratti. It was accepeted two days later and he asked for £72,000 p/w! Obviously ridiculous for a 16 year old but actually something i hadnt really noticed before, because i previsouly had him with newcastle for like 5 grand, so it must be man citys reputation which made him ask for such high wages. Pretty good addition tbf but maybe a bit extreme there

Youngsters only ask for <£10000 p/w in my game, so it's probably because you're City

What sort of wages did your scout suggest he would ask for?

Its because you are City. I signed him 3 times at the start of the game and never had to pay more than £2k per week.

I've noticed the same thing happen when I have been City, I usually offer what my scout says he will accept or what I believe he is worth. I just put it down to the player "trying it on"

to be honest i didnt check what my scout suggested, i turned my game in disgust afterwards! never been citeh before and fancied a quick fun game before fm11 comes out

I'm pretty sure that players/agents 'try it on' with contract demands and will accept much smaller deals. Usually the scouts are able to spot these in advance.

On the other hand, starting as a low level team, I hired a player in a full time contract and he asked me for a 5 € (Five Euro)/ month contract. Less than a bus ticket

I had a guy in Mauritania request £50 a year! about 90p a week.
