Torres Negotiation - Possibly the Highest Requested Transfer Fee Ever In FM!!

I put in a bit of £110m for Torres, I have not used the editor, and have earned all of my transfer budget through the sale of players, Berbatov for £30m to Arsenal for example and City have paid stupid amounts for Carrick and a few others.

So im sitting here with £125m in transfer fees, and i offer £110m for torres. Liverpool reply with the following negotation, it is absolutely INSANE!, i dont even know if the game is working this out right, coz its just too much money lol!

I'd take it as a sign they don't want to sell.

Not for sale then is he?

City makes it too easy to have excess transfer funds for your team. Hope this is tweaked abit in the next patch.

About Torres, think L'pool just don't want to sell him. Can't say its a bug. Tho you can argue no team in real life would turn down 100+mil for a player, but then again you can also argue that no team in real life would bid 100+mil for a player in the first place (so far anyways)

Not for sale then is he?

Well every player has his price. It just appears Torres price is higher than most which is to be expected.

i was quite shocked when liverpool came back and negotiated to be honest, but having said that, wanting that kind of money is just insane!

i cannot believe it, his value in the game is £35m with Liverpool requesting a free of £214m thats a 74.9% increase!

worth it though!

ummmm

no it isn't.

I love El Nino and everything, but that £214million would go quite a way to starting the new stadium!

yeah its more like 600%

You are very wrong

i just spent all of my £125m on Silva (80m) Camacho (20m) Javi Martinez (20m)

sorry i meant to say about a 700% increase

Torres argueably the best striker in the game - if the chariman wants success why would he let him go?

I guess that's my take on it, but still 110 million pounds geez.

i just spent all of my £125m on Silva (80m) Camacho (20m) Javi Martinez (20m)

bit high isnt it i got silva for £37 million and even got messi for just £43.5 million in 2nd season though only reason i got messi was for some reason in 2nd season he had a release of that amount so i snapped him up fast and offered massive wage

but no player is worth 100 million or even 75 million that insane amount for any one player

What if with Torres, Man Utd win the premiership and Liverpool slide down the table slightly. That could cost them a lot of money.

Isn't this what we do as managers when a team offers a lot of money for a player we want to sell? Demand a ridiculous amount of money that you a. know they probably won't accept b. if they do accept you'd be laughing all the way to the bank.

They negotiated for 215 million up front with me mate for Torres

Rejected, of course. I got Zlatan instead

Well every player has his price. It just appears Torres price is higher than most which is to be expected.

I must have artificial intelligence then

When a club makes a big bid for a player I don't wish to sell, but he says he wants to negotiate, to keep him placated I fire back with an absurd total, just like your Liverpool has done. That way they drop out and the player can't accuse me of refusing to let him go (though he usually moans anyway).

Just wait a couple of seasons, till Liverpool go into administration in game! You'll get a hefty discount then!

Those values are normal. I've seen them many times, when offering to buy top players of top teams. Try to get Adebayor or Fabregas, for example, the same thing will happen. This just means:

1. That the player is basically not for sale.

2. Despite #1 above, Liverpool might still sell him but at a very, very high amount.

3. But... the fact that you're a rival club inflates the price a LOT.

Seeing similar stuff in my game. Man U wanted £124m for Ronaldo and Arsenal wanted £177m for Fabregas.

Fair enough though if they dont want to see them. I'd do the same.

It's a polite way of saying "Fcuk off"

try negoatiating for Gareth Bale :O

I ended up putting a 95Mil deal together for Bale but it was SO worth it! He's a freekick demon!

i do think player values are a bit to hight i bidded 90 million for ronaldo and they said i have to bid 202 million to get him.i know some clubs wont sell but come on.

I got him at the start of the game and he was a LOT cheaper.

Didn't knew about the "freekick" thing, though. Will try to remember that and place him in freekick duty.

I have tried buying Huntelaar for 60 million and Ajax wont sell! WTF??

I always put the price up over £200m when clubs enquire about Ronaldo.

It's definitely a "we don't really want to sell him to a rival club we are directly competing with" scenario rather than a bug.

Might be because you're man city as well maybe? Just like when Chelsea were bought out they were paying over the normal valuations for players simply because of the money they had, Could this of been factored into the game?

Just a thought...

Man City are a great club for getting a hugely inflaited fee, I sold Coloccini for £28mil and Guthrie for a staggering £15mil! Was only given 75% by the clubs new owner though.

At the begining of the game Torres is avalible for 86M. How far in the game was your offer made?

I got Ronaldo for £120 million on 08

Torres is worth that much tbh

Torres is worth that much tbh

You should just offer a lower amount.

I asked for a star striker and his team came back asking 60 million.

I offered £25m and their board accepted it.

I put in a bit of £110m for Torres, I have not used the editor, and have earned all of my transfer budget through the sale of players, Berbatov for £30m to Arsenal for example and City have paid stupid amounts for Carrick and a few others.

He may quite possible have a minimum release clause in his contract that will not allow him to move for any less that amount.

Wow! Silly money, could buy a whole team with that

I once sold Shaun Wright Phillips from Man City (to Inter) for 200 million in FM 07.

£259k up front rest over 24 months.

That bug was fun.

i've had a negotiation for c.ronaldo of £261m

and lyon have also asked for £99m loan fee for pjanic when i offered 5

Shame on you

hm, Man Utd wanted 7 400 000 000 CZK for gay C.Ronaldo...I think it is more then for Torres in GBP

As of 19/12/08

Just used a naughty utility I found via the editor's forum to find out the true selling prices of players. The top ones like Messi are over 100M. I was actually after Woodgate and Spurs want 32M!!!!

But I'm not one to complain - as I've said, I see it as the clubs' way of saying NO WAY. Fair enough, I have to seek out more affordable targets

And yeh, 32M for Cripplegate at his age??????

There is some serious AI illogic though; Barca bought Nani for 13.75 and won't sell him for less than 110M. His mimimum release fee is 31M!

Mate it's well documented that the sale values in all the various editiors are incorrect. They are fluid so impossible to find these out. You can try it out yourself by say bidding for a high value player with a lowish 'editor sale value'.
