players you will never sell.

More of a trivial thing. Do you have any players at the club who no matter what you will not sell.

I currently am refusing to sell Barry Ferguson from Rangers despite him now not being good enough. Instead i loaned him to Hull my feeder side.

I have a tonne of players who, although I'd never say never, I would be very reluctant to sell.

There's the usual suspects such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez, Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand. But I would also never sell Javier Saviola, even though he's never really established himself in the first team. I can't say too much because of the whole player-naming thing, but the guy has done things since I signed him (for a mere £7m) that convince me he should be a United player until he decides to leave.

I don't have players i wont sell, there are those i'm reluctant to sell but if someone pays enough and i can replace them to a decent level then i will sell anyone even a C Ronaldo if i had one.

Fernando Torres, Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard and Robbie Fowler.

Guess who I support

You have Robbie Fowler?!

I always sign him at the start of the game.

I'm not sure whether it is Everton or Man United.

Anyway on topic, my view is that every player has their price.

Yea. The quality thing wasnt what i was looking at in reply to the C. Ronaldo thing. For Example myself with Ferguson at Rangers, Sweet Zombie Jesus with the players at Liverpool.

More of a cult hero thing and that the reason for refusing to sell.

I think that if you look more closely at my post, you'll see that I understood what you're getting at.

Yea i agree in theory every man/women(just incase i get blasted for sexism and it will be in 09) does have a price. Altough in my personal experiance you couldnt sell a cult hero.

I always sign him at the start of the game.

How does he do for you?

Not that great but I stick him into the reserves until he retires and make him a member of my staff.

maciej zurawski

Artur Boruc.

Miguel Veloso, Salvatore Foti

If I'm at a team where there's a player or players who have played there all their career I won't sell, e.g Giggs, Scholes, Neville at United. And on my current save I refuse to demote a 33 year old Raul from captaincy and he still starts most games despite me having much better options.

David Villa, Silva, Aguero, Lloris. But with most other players, they've all got a price.

No, I'd sell anyone, that's what being a manager is all about, making tough decisions. My favourite player of all time was an Egyptian striker I picked up on a free in league 1. He was an incredible player, far too good for that level and scored the goals that won me league 1, the championship, got me into Europe and won me the premiership, all at the same club. In the end though he started getting old and I had better options available, so I let him go to Sunderland for not a massive amount (possibly in a player/manager role). I do kinda regret it now though many years later, that may have been about the time my mini slide began.

I dont sell anybody whose the best in their position at the time and isnt over 29 its not worth it your not going to improve on them

at the moment i cant stand to let go of kanu at portsmouth because he won us the FA cup in real life

Marcus Tudgay.

players that you should never sell are players that you dont need to sell to keep the club winning or to get out debt.

I am only unwilling to sell if the player has greatly contributed to my club for a consistent amount of time.

Otherwise, I will sell nearly everyone at a reasonable price.

I will sell anyone, £70,000 in debt with braintree, i don't care who it is if i get money they will go, otherwise i will lose my job.

I am exactly the same as Rancer890, I won't sell the likes of Giggs, Neville, Scholes etc. from my Man Utd team. They are just sitting in my reserves rotting lol.

When i am managing Newcastle United in FM08 (i support them IRL) players i wouldnt sell would be :

Given

Harper

Beye

Taylor

Milner

Nzogbia

Martins

Owen

and youngsters :

Krul

Lualua

Carroll

There is a player in my game in 2026 called Mihai Iacob who I can't bring myself to sell even though he's not good enough for my team. He's been at me for about 10 or so seasons and I can't sell a club legend like that.

I'm playin as NUFC right now and Mike Ashley sold Martins to Milan for £25m, so i signed Tevez for £22m 12 games 11 goals so far i think i did alright

the rest of those players i still have

But back on topic there really isn't anyone i won't sell if the money is good cos everyone is replacable even if it takes a couple of years to replace them

Like many manager IRL have said , every player has a price.

More of a trivial thing. Do you have any players at the club who no matter what you will not sell.

I currently am refusing to sell Barry Ferguson from Rangers despite him now not being good enough. Instead i loaned him to Hull my feeder side.

Same. I hold on to him. He normally tries to become a scout. I always make him a coach, then my assistant.

I buy players usually around 23-26 years old. And then i stick with those that are 1st team regular until they retire, the rest i might sell if any good offer comes.

If anyone in my team stays for me many seasons and is great until they become old, I won't sell them, I keep them until they be come my staff. Nihat is this for me at the moment, he propelled me from 3rd-4th league positions to 1st. I will never let go!

John Terry and Frank Lampard (although with his 5 year contract IRL he may find himself sold on FM09 - i'm not paying a 35 year old £120k p/w!)

Ledley King

Mikael Forssell

Stephen Kelly

George Valdivia

Mouassa Dembélé.

I'm Villa and I refuse to sell BARRY! Bwahaha!

Also Jiménez, Colocinni and Farfán have some long Villa careers ahead of them

With my Sevilla side there's quite a few that'll be with me as long as I rule.

Daniel Alvez (You kiddin? He's the best player in the game!), Maxwell, Riquelme, Kanouté, Marcelo and Jesus Navas. Also I have Sakho in my youth side, and I'm pretty sure he'll stick around for quite some time. Whether he likes it or not...

- Any player that has been with me since age 16 and played regular.

- My very first promoted youth player that the ass man recommends.

- Fabregas, van Persie, Denilson, Walcott - if I'm Arsenal.

Thats about it.

With Liverpool - The usual suspects of Gerrard, Torres, Xabi Alonso and Agger.

With Valencia - Villa and Silva.

And with Marseilles - Nasri (though I'm buggered for '09!), Kone and Zenden (He seems to get on with everyone due to him being multi-lingual)

Same. I hold on to him. He normally tries to become a scout. I always make him a coach, then my assistant.

In my game he says he wants to become an assistant manager. That will be the role he shall be offered. Tony McAndrews is doing a good job but unfortunetly he just doesnt cut it over the one player that ive always tried to base my personal game on. I plan to stay at the club until ive spent at least 2 years with him as assistant manager n hope he gets managers job after me.

reading through this thread makes me think im far too ruthless

as soon as a player is past his peak i get him out the door for as much cash as i can

Do you have any players at the club who no matter what you will not sell.

No.

Whether he is your star player, or just a good youngster, every player has his price. And in the long term, selling your star, or that cracking youngster for a huge fee, can be benificial/vital to the club improving.

Rogério Ceni.

Players who have been at my club for more than ten years, i usually persuade them to stay on as my backroom staff.

I always sign him at the start of the game.

I always used to sign Sheringham.

A good utility player, especially if they can play anywhere across the backline. I've had too many times where both specialist right or left backs have been injured.

It also means I can have say specialist first choice full backs, backed up by some promising youngsters I can ease into the team. The utility player will always be there if the youngsters aren't ready yet or need a rest.

On Myame with Blackburn I won't sell Aguero, Defoe and Ryan Taylor

Fernando Torres, Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard and Robbie Fowler.

Guess who I support

Mate, I would add Mascherano to that list ;-)

Mate, I would add Mascherano to that list ;-)

Mascherano's not worth selling anyway as you only get 20% of the fee.

There isn't a single player in my squad that I would never sell, every player has their price.

Totally the opposite of Nomis07 there are too many to name in my squads that I wouold never sell, but just to throw out a few of the more obvious names - Diego, Paolo Sammarco and Juan Roman Riquelme at Werder Bremen and Sebastian Giovinco and Gianpaolo Pazzini at Fiorentina.
