mrefc80 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 this is a common fault i seem to have found. for eg. when in the summer i want to sign a player but dont have room in my squad or maybe not enough current funds, i select transfer date to 'end of season'. it gets confirmed as that. then come the january transfer window i get a message saying transfer cancelled due to lack of space. every time i set to end of season, the player comes in january. has anybody else experienced this? or do Si know of the problem?

Jambo_Dave Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I thoguth I had thgis problem too but I just realised what I had been doing. Often your first offer for a player gets refused and I was setting the initial bid to end of season but when re-negotiating the offewr you have to set it to end of season again as it automatically sets back to the default next available date or whatever. I keep forgetting this and have missed out on a few players because of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrefc80 Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 it happens when my first offer is accepted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaufebeen Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 i got another bug thats even more frustrating. lets say u bid for a player outside the transfer window, and when the fee is accepted (and contract too) the transfer is due to go through at the start of the next window. However, if u cancel the deal after it is confirmed and before the transfer window opens, the player is stuck forever on a free transfer and no club can buy him. Plus his status is forever set to "Looking forward to join xxxx(your team)" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted May 18, 2006 SI Staff Share Posted May 18, 2006 Kaufebeen - thanks for the extra information, I've been trying to recreate this and (hopefully) what you've posted will help a lot with this .... after which obviously I'll be able to look into rectifying it for future versions ... Sorry for any inconvenience, Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
technophreak Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Marc, I just got the same error as Kaufebeen. I made a bid for Joe Cole outside the transfer window, and then withdrew the offer. Now he is permanently stuck on "Looking forward to joining Man City". I've got a savegame from before I withdrew the bid, and a game from after. Do you want me to email these to you?
