[Transfer deadline day - ENDLESS!]

You can set a figure on each players transfer screen to reject any offers below your specified value and then any offers that dont meet your valuation are automatically rejected.

Or ... fix the game so it doesn't happen. In reality, if a bid is rejected, clubs don't return with the SAME bid 1000 times. 

[Transfer deadline day - ENDLESS!]

Stuck in an endless loop of low offers for players not for sale on deadline day. It takes me 20 minutes or more to continually reject derisory offers for players and the AI leeps coming back with the SAME low offers. Why? Can't we just put a line of code in saying that the AI can't make the same offer more than twice in a specific time period. If they were improving offers or actually trying to entice me into selling my best prospects, but we are talking low offer after low offer after low offer .... When it's happening on 10+ players it gets tiresome.

Let me give you some context.

I am the reigning German champions. Gavi is my star player. His in game value is £40-46m. If you think Man City bidding £14m is normal in this situation, thats your opinion, but I highly disagree. Elite clubs wouldnt do that in real life. Would City go in with a £25m bid for Haaland in real life (around a 3rd of his rumoured release clause of £75m)? 

Gavi has a £40m release clause, it makes no sense for them to not just activate it, rather than constantly bidding a 3rd of his value. £40m is a bargain for the German Champions best player. 

I got the same. Chelsea had just won the league, Pulisic was player of the year and valued at 120m+ and City offered me 26m and Madrid 32m. He was not listed and he was happy to stay at the club. I don't get it,

[Player Value and Value to Club]

Gotta say this irks me. If they bid just once and we had the option of a sarcastic message telling them to pay his worth - then I'd be happier. But when they continually come back with the same silly offers, it really grates. Getting 26 million bids for my most valuable 100m+ player - it's laughable.

[Is selling players intentionally so difficult?]

I get what you're saying but there is no way a club would offer 20 odd million for a happy player who is not listed and valued at over 100 million. I'm not saying I have to get face value every time, or even be able to sell all the players I want to - in fact, I'd prefer no bid rather that stupidly derisory offers.

Nah, it's very realistic that clubs can't get rid of unwanted players on huge wages. Barcelona had that problem this summer. If they had been able to sell players like Coutinho maybe Messi would still be there, but teams are reluctant to pay a transfer fee and then huge wages for a player. Plenty of other older examples too. James Rodriguez was stuck at Real for ages with them unable to get rid of him on anything other than loan deals. They wanted to get rid of Bale as well but couldn't.

It's easy to sell players when teams want to buy them, but when it's the other way round and you're trying to sell it can (and should) be difficult. Especially since they're likely all on very high wages that the new club would be expected to at least match for the player to agree to the transfer. I mean, if say Kante was only on a tenner a week you'd probably have a bunch of teams interested. But 50m for the transfer and then like 300k+ per week for a 31 year old Kante? Seems like a pretty bad deal to me.

I get the Kante thing but Pulisic wasn't even for sale, playing well and PSG offered me something ridiculous like 26m. I only offered him to clubs when I saw there was a long list interested in his services thinking that I could get his worth, but even then they offered 34-36 million. For me that's not realistic,

[is this transfer realistic]

I've started three games and managed to buy Camavinga for about 11m twice when he falls out with Ancelotti for not playing enough.

[Is selling players intentionally so difficult?]

So I'm playing Chelsea and at the end of the first season, I put Pulisic, Kante and Kovacic up for sale. Each of them had a very good season and each had guide values well in excess of 70m - Pulisic over 100m. Not being greedy, when I couldn't get a decent offer (we're talking offers of 20m), I reduced my asking price to a mere 50m for each and expected to have my hand bitten off. Not a sniff! The occasional bid of up to 30m.  So I kept them and tried to sell them a season later - which I also failed to do despite asking well below their guide values. I know the market is dead but it's a little unrealistic that clubs can't shift quality players at decent prices in my opinion.

[Players accept contracts but instead are left on week to week deals - no work permit - unable to loan/sell.]

Some of my younger players are not good enough to obtain work permits. They accept contract extensions but the contract is not started, leaving them on week to week contracts, without permits and unable to loan out. Is this a bug or a realistic situation? I have five or six players in the same situation. Thanks.
