Negotiating a transfer

for what reason does a club, when negotiating a price for a player up there bid Ie. I'll offer 1 million for Ayala they come back with 2.2 million, so i counter offer 1.8 million so they come back with 3.2 million and 500.000 over 24 months. confusion.. is this part of real life talks or a bad bit about FM.

have seen the same thing in bss offered 1000 for a player came back with 110000 talk about infaltion

your right there i just dont get it

This used to happen in previous FM games too..

Seems odd that the exact same problems with transfers are still there after they've rewritten the code.

Clubs still seem to want crazy money, Wigan wanted a deal worth £29 mill for Chris Kirkland

Needless to say I looked elsewhere for a goal keeper

Mmmmmmmm.... Makes ya think

If they haven't got it right after 15 years, what makes you think a code rewrite will?

They stated that it wasn't to change how it worked, just to make it less bloated and buggy. Until they make a conscious design decision to code a transfer system that begins to hint at reality, it'll be this way.

so is it a problem for everyone, if so SI please take a look at it

I can honestly say I haven't encountered this, and I'm finding buying players much better due to teams accepting reasonable amounts. Not only this but I've found it very easy to sell players I don' want if I use the offer to clubs option

I agree, I've yet to see a bad looking transfer deal go through. Loan to buy seems to work very well as well now. I decided to see if I could get anywhere near £19m for Keane. I managed to get Villa to pay £5m for the season, with the option to buy him for £14m. Used that money to buy one young striker and bring in a couple of Real Madrid kids on options to buy.

I reported something like this on the bugs forum. Basically you keep getting the same offers and when you try to negotiate they stil offer the original amount.

I still don't understand why people think clubs should always agree to sell the player. It's like when teams price players out, like Alves two seasons ago, and Arshavin this season. They want to quote a price that they think you definitely won't pay, OR if you pay, then they are getting a big profit to make up for it.

This has definately been fixed. I've had several deals go through that I've had a very good 'back and forth' negotiation with.

Exactly, I do the exact same when AI makes offers for our own players......Makes it a bit more realistic in my opinion.

but when a club wants to sell and then the OP happens, then what

To give SI the benefit of the doubt, maybe, they've made 2.2m the asking price to put you off furthering your bid. Then when they realise you could possibly afford that (by offering 1.8m) they considerably increased the price again to 3.2m. Just a suggestion which possibly reflects real-life actions?

Happens alot in FM08 when I try to sign young talented players.

Really confusing.

I have not seen this as much in the demo as in FM08. I have managed to negotiate quite a few deals that I couldn't do on FM08

Does anyone know if the manager AI is any better when dealing in the transfer market. I have seen many a manager having pointless and daft dealings in the transfer market in 08.

This problem has always existed and it is never sorted out.

player is 1 million. You bid 2 million, they say no and want 2.5 you bid 2.3 plus incentives which adds to 3million they want 3??
