A11285 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 An issue has been around for a while in FM series,its about the transfers. 1)Nowadays in real world football more Asian and the Americas clubs make audacious bids to sign foreign stars For example : Dario Conca - Moved to Guangzhou , Diego Maradaona joined Al-Wasl , it all started when David Beckham joined Galaxy ,Thierry Henry joined Red Bulls In FM this is practically not happening , rich clubs from other continents offering big wages and sums in order to attract those stars. I reckon that these transfers should happen more often in FM , because they are happening big time in real world 2)Players that are desperate for 1st team football, very often take big pay-cuts to join other smaller reputation clubs that guarantee them football on a regular basis This issue is partly covered in FM2011 , but not enough So will be this fixed in FM2012 ?

AcidBurn Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I agree it needs to be improved. Offering more money to persuade a player to sign should be worked into the game, there is no chance ever that you could sign Eto'o to Anzhi on FM. I did sign Ozil for LA Galaxy once he was 33 years old so that is similar to Beckham and Henry's transfers. Players should be more willing to take pay cuts based on their personality. I read that Arteta and Bellamy took pay cuts to secure their recent transfers to Arsenal and Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slawbawn Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I read that about Arteta too, took a pay cut equal to £1m a year appparently, or something like that anyway. I would like to see them in the game, but only when players are at an age where their career is coming to an end before long, like when Beckham joined Galaxy and such.

CrD Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I feel that money should have more say in transfers on the game too, like it is said above that you would never get Eto'o to Anzhi. Hopefully this has bee worked out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
underwater sunlight Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 in all fairness, before it happened in real life i'm sure nobody here would have ever imagined eto'o moving to Anzhi. the risk in making these moves possible in FM is that they occur too often, which would have everybody shouting that the game is screwed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcleod_69_69_69 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Pay cuts are slightly added. I sometimes get high earners want me to make up the difference to go to a smaller club. But it has never worked the other way round though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it ever happens IRL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I had it happen once on FM09, I signed Vela for Crewe and Arsenal paid him 15k a week until the end of his contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it happened once two years ago. Rare but it must be in the game, maybe to do with club reps? Or club finances? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Two transfers of players is hardly something I'd call an epidemic. And years apart. If it was added I'd like to see this once every 5 years or something by 1 club in the game and no more. But these things do raise the profile of leagues and clubs. So I'd like to this as a way to increase the number of players attracted to your league and the quality of players. So if I was managing a club in South Africa and had a billionaire owner who said I could sign anyone for any fee and any wages to raise the profile of the club, I'd go out and buy a 32 year old Dzeko or Aguerro, or Suarez or Villa, Messi or something ridiculous. Then I'd have a few more players open to moving to the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the MLS, really did anybody really care about it before David Beckham went there? Him going there raised its exposure as the worlds most famous footballer moved clubs. And paved the way to Henry and Keane. Would they have gone to the MLS if Beckham didn't? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Plenty of players have gone to the MLS well before David Beckham, world calss players. Djorkaef, Stoichkov, Mathaeus, Donadoni, Zenga, Sutter to name a few. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djorkaef, Stoichkov, Mathaeus, Donadoni, Zenga, Sutter to name a few. I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just saying surely people took more notice of the MLS after Beckham joined. The MLS HAD a rep of old stars at the end of their careers going to the MLS. Surely Beckham going raised the rep of the MLS making it more attractive to other players, I agree that this should be in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody cares about it now in the grander scheme of things, its certainly not thought of as a good place to build a career, more a big payday for players past their best. The Cosmos did this years ago signing Pele amongst others, it works in the short term but long term i cant see Beckham having improved the MLS really, he might have gotten a bit more exposure but no one thinks of the MLS as a higher level of football now he plays there.

afced7 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Don't see many players going to the MLS in my games but plenty end up in Saudi Arabia and quite a few play in China like Nicky Butt did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
