ItsFootballNotSoccer Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hi, I just started my second season as Hull and I decided to search for a few prospective forwards. I used the search parameters and filtered out unrealistic signings. Of the 3 that come up, 2m of them are Bojan (Barcelona) and Sturridge (Man City). Both these players are, in my opinion, extremely bright prospects well known throughout Europe and very valuable assets and yet they have both seem to have been released on free transfers. Is this a known bug? Am I the only one to have encountered it? I mean I'd love to sign them for Hull but it wouldn't be very realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Its a known bug and has been well covered. Take advantage and get them for Hull while you can! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsFootballNotSoccer Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 So its fixed in the patch? If so, can I coninue my Hull game with the players not released? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsoluteGenius Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Yes, it's called the Bojan bug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 So its fixed in the patch? If so, can I coninue my Hull game with the players not released? No, they will still be released. If there is a new patch out around February i would imagine it will be fixed in that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipknot67 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 mean I'd love to sign them for Hull but it wouldn't be very realistic. I managed to get him for Blackburn in an old save of mine, so I think you will have a decent chance of getting him for Hull if you have a good wage budget.

ItsFootballNotSoccer Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Thanks for all the quick replies. Looks like Hull are about to have one of the greatest young strike partnerships in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Has everyone who has seen this happen had Spain running as an active league? I ask because I currently have 2 saves that are past the start of the 2nd season and I haven't noticed Bojan, or any of the other various players that people have mentioned in these threads, released in similar circumstances to these and I never bother with having Spain as an active league so was wondering if this has a bearing on this bug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One difference between Spain being active or not is the Marcelo thing. If you have Spain active then there is no problem, however if its not active he has a silly minimum release clause of about 5.5 mill i i think.

That only happened for on the demo, in the full game, it was Gago who was listed with a 5 mil asking fee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 A silly bug indeed. It seems like the AI do not care about "wonderkids", or any young talented players for that matter, at all in FM09. They free fransfer them, sell them for near to nothing (has anyone seen the "he´s an important player for the future"-rejection from a team in FM09?), and never ever buy a player under 20 if he don´t go straight into the first team. But, as mentioned, it´s a known issue and likely fixed with the next patch. I hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKM999 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Bojan is currently earning £120 p/w in my team. (Atletico Madrid) - I also have lots of other 'wonderkid' types on the same contract - in first season I also found a number of promising brazilian kids with min release fee of £170,000. Oh, yeah Thiago is on the same contract but Sturridge wanted more (about £5k I think) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhroX Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 In my current game, Bojan, and most of the other European "wonderkids" - though not Sturridge - seemed to be locked down to long term contracts. However, in China, where I'm currently managing, it's a very different story. At the beginning of the third season, I've just picked up nearly half the Chinese U21 team (regens), all of which are at least good enough for mid-table Super League, with potential to spare, on frees, and a couple more went to other clubs.

AbsoluteGenius Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I buy around 10 wonderkids a season and they cost peanuts (usually £1m). It's amazing how little the top clubs value the stars of the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I signed those two you mention as well as the likes of Henrique at the end of the first season. I offered Bojan a lot more than he wanted to make sure I got him. Let's not complain about it. Mind you Bojan has had a slow start 4 goals in 12 games so far. I'm sure he'll improve. In my previous game he averaged more than a goal a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
