wattzy Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hi, i'm in February of my West Ham save and saw Obafemi Martins had less then 6 months on his contract. I select approach to sign and agree a contract and suddenly he's costing me 4.4 million at the end of the season :S I didn't see anything about compensation, and surely I wouldn't owe them any if he's leaving at the end of his contract. Can anyone shed some light? Thanks. On reflection, is it due to different Russian league rules? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagoonerfan Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Maybe his Agent fee + signing on fee? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarian Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 The Bosman ruling is free movement within the EU. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Russian clubs receive compensation for losing players on a 'free', you have to wait for them to leave the club before you can sign them for nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeusbheld Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 i've been pretty consistently seeing fees taken out of my transfer budget although i can't tell whether it's only agent fees, only signing fees or both (haven't looked at it that closely and have signed an entire youth squad all at once so hard to tell).

White Flag Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Sounds like youve got a massive bug mate.. if I was you I'd uninstall and reinstall the game delete all your current save games and start from scratch geeze that sounds really bad. No, not a bug. Katarian has already answered this - Russia is not in the EU so the Bosman free transfer rules don't apply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Confirm that Russia does not use the Bosman rule so compemsation would be due- can you cancel the deal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_numbers Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yeah, do people remember on (I think) the last FM, where Akinfeev cost about £5.5m to sign on a 'free'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Flag Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yeah, do people remember on (I think) the last FM, where Akinfeev cost about £5.5m to sign on a 'free'?

Gandy Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Yeah, do people remember on (I think) the last FM, where Akinfeev cost about £5.5m to sign on a 'free'? That’s still a bargain really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 It's no bug. In previous versions you had to pay compensation to sign a player in Russia with an expiring contract as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
