ozzay Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I offered Aston Villa 20mil for a player, and they reject, so i make a new offer of 21m, and they accept, now see thats just taking the micky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzay Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 it's not so much who i offered for(nordveit i think thats how its spelled,who has become quite the player come end of 2011) its the fact that over 750k they change their mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt SFC Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 These bids all tend to depend on the timing when the bid is made. Which is a bit unrealistic really. If i'm after a long term target who's quite expensive (well they tend to be don't they), i keep scouting him because my scouts give me a good idea of how much the club will accept, so i know when to make the offer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzer Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 How is that stupid? There has to be a cutoff point somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garumn Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Also the limit of what to reject and what to accept has to be put somewhere? Even for your own players you got a threhold for where you say yes or no on bids. That value can be 100k, 500k, 13M, 20M, 21M, or any other number. As buzzer say, there has to be a cutoff point somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromley Raven Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Yes, there has to be a cutoff. However, if they are very close to the cutoff I would expect them to negotiate rather than reject the bid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be a cutoff point somewhere. Exactly, I do the same, I set a value for a player and if they meet it, I accept, otherwise I reject, even when they only are 750K short.

NepentheZ Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 This is the one I hate : You offer £15,000,000 They want £20,000,000 so, you offer £18,500,000 they now want £25,000,000 Now you think sod it, I'll offer what they initially wanted, £20,000,000 they now want £27,000,000.

phnompenhandy Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Bought a player last night. I offered $X. They asked for $XX plus a 10% sell-on AND one of my fringe squad players. I agreed. The player agreed terms with me. Then it fell through as my player wouldn't leave. So I bid again - $XX - no sell-on or player-exchange, just the basic sum they'd asked for in the first place. They accepted and I got the guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougyMarshall Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Theres a lot of people treating it like black and white in this thread. phnompenhandy, perhaps the AI recognised that you could not convince your player to move? Also you couls treat it as bartering.... ive asked how much Hearts want their 20 year old scottish regen (who is utter class) and they said £25m.. i offered 15 plus clauses and they accepted. Just because the AI wants £25m doesnt mean thats the lowest they will accept. --------------------------------------------------------- Also as for the AI not selling you a player for the price the told you... its clear that the AI of that team simply has no interest in letting you have the player.. would you sell your main player to a rival team/somebody you dislike? When the other AI team offered half of what you did it was probably a team that posed no threat to the original team and as such the deal wouldnt come back to bite them.

phnompenhandy Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Dougy - my player is worth 4 MIL. I'd have expected the AI club to request a higher cash deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuboy Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 well if the player became unsettled that could be the reason. I did it this season with a player, was one of my best so rejected a offer but he was upset so i accepted the next decent offer to come in, can't remember if it was much more or just the same.

Nomis07 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 £750k might seems stupid compared to the initial offer, but it's a couple of weeks wages for some clubs and that carrot might jsut be tasty enough for them to bite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikoru Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I also hate this, I also hate it when they ask you pay 2 million extra, so you change the bid to abit lower and they put it 5 million extra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro007 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I think it is well known that the transfer system in not the best feature of this game but we have to live with it. I offered £42m for Aguero which was rejected, he signed a new contract the next day so I offered £31m, accepted.
