Bob Sardinia Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 How in the hell do I get rid of this money sink. Making $240k a week. Roughly $25million remaining in his contract (2 more years) No teams will buy him at a $0 demand because of his wage, and he wont take a mutual agreement to seperate.. I'm about to start my second season and I'm trying to balance the books a bit at man city after nearly completing the big 4 (Won the prem, carling, FA.. Lost the CL in the finals to Real Madrid) and his contract is ridiculous for a reserve level player on my team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidFury Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 If you're Man City, I wouldn't worry about finances. If you're not going to play him, don't play him. He and Tevez did the same on my save; rotted away in the reserves like dead tree bark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidFury Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 How much is the compensation for releasing him? Like I said, money is not an issue at Man City so that might be your only option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, money is not an issue at Man City so that might be your only option. Did the math.. the comp is the same if not 500k more then if I just keep him. Although i think comp comes out of the transfer budget which I have plenty of right now and would help my bottom line.. hmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sardinia Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Try making him an important first team player, offer him a new shorter deal and see if you can save some money that way Thats gamey, not my style of play. Probably just gonna wait it out and try to sell him along the way, maybe I'll get one of those "Pay me to leave" situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max out as much as you can and make it as intensive as possible. Hell, make it an intensive goalkeeper's programme. He'll become desperately unhappy soon enough.

LiquidFury Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hahaha , never tried that. It sounds awesome Adebayor the new no.1 for city... Plus, if you put him on a maximum intensity goalkeeper/fitness programme with no attacking/shooting/set plays etc., his technical stats will drop like a stone, which I justify in a 'serves you right' sort of way and puts him on the backfoot at his next club.

bluebirds4life Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Just play him as a backup he's a tank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocuous Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Just play him as a backup he's a tank. I was about to say this myself. I'm not sure of what his personality on the game is like, so he mightn't necessarily respond well to being used as a back-up rather than a first teamer, however he's a very good player on the game. Obviously not as good as his wage would suggest, but you may as well get something from the money spent than nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUBI Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Offer him mutual termination more than once. If he reject it, the option becomes available again a few weeks later. Some players accept it after a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kga89 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 As someone else has mentioned, do a ridiculous training programme and then put him in the under-19's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 The only thing you can do is try to upset him so much that he accepts mutual termination of his contract. He is a great player though and can score as many goals as nearly any striker on FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally13 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hopefully in future fm's they can had something on the lines of you offering a player out and offering to pay a certain percent of his wage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellie Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Agree with the strategy of upset him as much as possible while offering mutual termination, worked with Joe Cole at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMan Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I must admit, when i was managing spurs, i brought him after the loan period, and i had him scoring more than a goal a game (55 in 44 appearances) so, dont just write him off, with the right settings, he can score a lot of goals...

Bob Sardinia Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Personal preference on him.. I'd prefer tevez balo or aguero in my lone ST spot, and I already have a projected superstar at 15 as a backup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Cobble Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 when i was trying to get rid of yaya toure i kept telling him to leave using manager interaction, and trying to terminate his contract. i put him in the U18s and had him unavailable for reserves and set up a horrible training schedule. Eventually he agreed to terminate his contract with no cost as he was confident of finding another club! WIN! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 yep.. make him your plaything and retrain him to be a cb or gk and stick him on a ridiculous regime ... go to town Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeusbheld Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 maybe, like in my City save, he'll do like Tevez and refuse to play, get fined, then he'll unilaterally take time off and the PFA will wring their hands and admit it's gross misconduct and you may even be able to terminate his contract while holding onto his registration. no wait, that's not my save that's real life. i think it's realistic enough that guys like Adebayor and Bridge are tough to get rid of; it's exactly the problem City had last summer (and will have next).

suckerkevin Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Money isnt important to City. Get him to rot in the reserves. Set his training to high strength and aerobic and nothing else. Get him injured over and over. Have a laugh at him! haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon army 06 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 why get rid of him in my game first season he got 35 league goals with spurs then for me on loan at newcastle he has scored a number of goals in the firtst 7 games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
