Transfers. (No means NO!

Why is it that when you say no to a loan or transfer request from other teams. They keep on trying every day until you say yes because you just get so fedup with the same request.

Has anyone else has this prob?

yeah had it today real madrid wanting to buy javier maserano for only 6m they asked at least 10 times that week.

i've read that people have had a problem with this....however i haven't

but then again there aren't that many fulham players who are on high demand:)

the only enquiery that i have had was for clint dempsey and i sold him to stoke for £3.2 mill

so a good sale

Try upping your asking price for the player. Sometimes that works.

Yea, this was still annoying in the demo.

Even more annoying is that the transfer system was supposedly "re-written"..so why they "re-wrote" this absolute pain in the arse back into the game is beyond me.

Why would you give in? Unless the player is content that they want to go to the club and their contract is up soon, just continuously reject until the transfer window closes.

Stubborn gets, I suspect they are meant to raise but... don't

Same problem for me; Atletico's been offering some loan with option to buy deal for Elano for every other day during the transfer period... Annoying.

Real Madrid kept asking to buy Tevez for 10M. I had it on auto reject and they must of bid about 10 times before raising the bid

Yes i had this problem in the demo. They kept asking me for a loan and i refused some 5 times and they keep asking me,,,

I have. I was trying to stop a bigger club offering me tiny amounts for my English international centre mid who wouldn't get in their first team any way. I rejected offers, and increased the asking price, and they kept coming back with higher offers. My player said he'd like a move to them, got really unsettled, I even signed a replacement. However, by the time they'd stumped up the cash, a decent winger came to their attention and they signed him instead. Everyone's better off except my player and the replacement.

Tiny amounts?

in the demo i kept getting loan request for player with teams only willing to pay 10% of wages. when i reject it the same request would come day after day.

Yeah I've experienced this for years but it never seems to go away. Some clubs just keeps coming back gazillion times during the transfer window to either loan or buy the same players. I guess the only good thing about 09 compared to before is that players don't get mad at you and wanting away when you reject offers, at least this hasn't happend to me yet. Seriously they should add the option to report clubs for trying to unsettle your players.

I don't mind teams pursuing a player - what I do mind is them coming back with the same offer repeatedly. They should at least be trying to tempt me into it, even if it is extra clauses rather than actual cash up front. It has only happened once, but it is a pain.

Clever sarcasm, however do you really think Villa got pestered with the exact same offers daily? In 2008 I had a case where in the last few days of the window there was an exact same bid for one of my players every single time I clicked continue, about 3 or 4 times a day. This is not even remotely like the negotiation process that happens in real life.

i demand 100million & 100million after 1 game & 100million per game, hehe.

I usually negotiate to about 40 or 50 million and thats the end of it.

sometimes, no means maybe.

I had the same problem with Tevez, but even when I said i wanted £20m they still carried on bidding at £13m and everytime I said no the next day they would make another £13m bid.

After about 5 times I just said to reject all bids, but I got a bid for him for £13m everyday until the transfer deadline day.

i've had this problem.... i still have this problem

Tottenham bid for kalou like 13 times i accepted it everytime and everytime he rejected the contract!!

The worst thing about the constant spamming of offers is that it unsettles the players and there's nothing we as a manager can do about it. When told no, the offers hardly if ever improves either, so it's a terrible situation to be in, and it's not realistic.

i had this problem 2. d only way i managed to get rid of it was to negotiate and ask the highest price possible. they will nto come bak again

Assuming it hasn't changed since FM08 AI clubs pretty much always set a deadline of 1 week on their bids (unless it is on or very near deadline day) so if you just ignore the bid you get 7 quiet days until you are forced to respond, at which point I think you can ask to delay the bid which gives you another couple of days, then reject the bid after that. Then do the same thing the next time and the end of the transfer window will soon come around. Alternatively I have once accepted a bid and then kept delaying the transfer until the end of the window or until the other club pulls out of the deal. If the deal is stil on the table on deadline day I just cancel it.

I suspect most people are like me though in practical cases, in that you just respond immediately to every bid with either an accept or reject (unless you would consider selling the player, but want to line up a replacement first) so the other club can then come back again the following day witha bid.

Despite my comment in the first paragraph that makes perfect sense I have almost never done this myself because I just seem to be obsessed with responding immediately to every bid and rejecting bids for my key players out of hand!

I have had the constant request from opposition teams to loan one of my starting players, but as far as I remember, setting their transfer and/or (whatever the scenario) loan status to not available usually did the trick.

Maybe I was lucky, but it usually works if my memory serves me right.

Would be great to have the option of "Does not wish to sell this player" like we used to have. That used to be a nifty little thing and theoretically would work well to put these scenario's out the window!

This is VERY annoying. I cannot believe that SI hasn't got rid of this bug. I doesn't make sense that teams offer the exact same offer 10 times.

This is a known issue and is under review.

Very Funny. I offered what he is worth. I also enjoyed talking to the press everyday about how happy I would be when he signed. The winger was a holiday purchase - We've all done it. Had two weeks in Marbella and had to bring home something local to show everyone.

Real madrid are REALLY annoying...their after tevez every dam day of the week

i immediatly give micheal owen a new contract and even after that i get bombarded with stupid 2-3 million transfer fee requests, highest i had was for 4m from spurs. But come on! As if anyone is going to sell micheal owen for that paltry amount of money when hes on a 4 year contract.

Madrid are annoying full stop!

Well guys sometimes it happens right? Look at the Ronaldo issue with Madrid.. it went on all summer..

But yea I agree it should be toned down a little as it gets really annoying

Atl. Madrid asked me (man city) to loan Elano 10 times at least

Just set it too reject all but this will probably be fixed for patch anyway

Ronaldo and Real..anyone?

berba and man u anyone? although it through I know.

you are also forgetting the liverpool/barry saga

This is a known issue and is under review.

I really hope this is fixed in this upcoming patch... it seems this is a bug.

Real Madrid only actually made 1 bid for Ronaldo during that whole escapade, and Man U made three bids at most for Berbatov. Just because they come out and say something in the media every day doesn't mean they've made an official bid.
