themoffster Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I'm sure a feature was introduced in the last few years whereby you could pay a lump sum to a club to get out of the "you owe then x% or a players future transfer". Where is this option and how do i use it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 You only get it if your board negotiates with the other board. So unless it comes uop on your clubs transfer clauses screen you cant. If it is negotiable it will have an arrow next to it on the right hand side.

GioGio85 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Go to the 'Transfers' tab and select 'Clauses', Then select the clause you want to buy out. Its worth noting that you can only select the clauses with a little black indicator on the left of the screen and your board may not want you to buy out that clause Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I use it when I can't shift a player but think he may improve in the future, so I normally put one in there when I'm dropping the asking price considerably or giving them away for nothing.

One week/month you get could £250,000 and the next week/month it could be less or more. So you have to judge when the best time is to sell or not.

GioGio85 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Michael Carrick's transfer from Spurs to Man Utd included 250k if he got 40 england caps. I can manage to sell it early for 190k.

mr_hankey Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Out of interest Dafuge, how easy is it to get '50% of next transfer fee' clause inserted? Do you have to compromise on the fee you received? I always add that clause, and it's always accepted. It'd be foolish not to add it, since the other team seemingly always ignores it.

GioGio85 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I wouldnt exactly say it would be foolish not to have it in, I know from experience that deals have been scuppered in FM when playing around with such clauses, so its in no way fool proof Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if you add 'additional fees', the other team will usually come with a new offer where that fee or the transfer fee has been changed. I've never ever gotten a counter offer where the sell-on clause is different, after I've changed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GioGio85 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Fair play, Ive had experiences though where teams have pulled out of a deal when I have tried to add additional clauses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJoe Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I always put 50% clause into a deal. Noramlly only sell 18/19yo who won't make my team or 27/28yo who want a new challenge. I find that as im trying to off load them i can't get much above twice there value so add 50% clause in to make more money later on. Also as i tend to get most off my players as 16yo i have to pay 15% to their old club so adding 50% more then covers that cost. Edit Just brought out some off my 50% clause's and made £25mil. Knew there was a reason i put that in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny O Brien Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I think sell on clauses are a great idea in the game with the buy-out feature being very good, but.... ... it is too easy to make money as a result... you can always sneak them into negiotations which is too advantageous..

ugen64 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 He was 31 and on a long, expensive contract (something like £70k p/w). My fault really, I shouldn't have given him such a long contract when there was a chance of him deteriorating like he did. Still, it was a good deal for me as it saved me quite a bit on a player that wouldn't have featured. haha, one time I got hired by a new club and there was a really useless player in the reserves, making around 25k p/w with a year left on his deal. a Championship club agreed to sign him for a 1m transfer fee - but only offered him 200 p/w wages! I ended up paying him around 99% of his deal to leave the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trents Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I usually do as mentioned above. If any other clubs become interested in one of my young player who aren't part of my plans, I'll offer him to them at current value and put the 50% clause in there. I don't often make much out of the clause though. As per real life premier teams, it's difficult for a young Engish players to get into the first team and increase his value.

Sheffield Sunday Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I got 18m for a player once that the previous manager sold to Man City with a 25% clause attached.

Steer Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 These clauses are a financial lifeline for lower league clubs. I'm at Torquay, and I'm waiting for Sampdoria to sell on the ex-Man Utd trainee they bought off me. He is worth nearly £4m now, and 50% will be mine.... :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
