Question on wages

In my Cliftonville game I came across an ex Blackpool player, who was released and on a free transfer. I enter into negotiations with his agent, who tells me he wants £1,600 per week for his client. Well I can only offer him £450 per week and up his bonuses and appearance money, which he rejects out of hand. Then about three days later Linfield enter negotiations and sign him for £425 per and his bonuses and appearance money are practically non existent. How can his demands come down so much when its the computer controlled team that try to sign him?

I find it ridiculous when the agent sets out his demands but one aspect will be above the board sanctioned amount. You try to negotiate him down to no avail, and then you have to increase his role in the team - sometimes at the cost of extra wages. A stupid occurrence.
