Not sure if its a bug but it is not logical.
I try to sign players that are currently on $60 000 per year and they demand $280 000 when i try to sign them. Then they wont sign if i dont meet their demands. So what happens? They stay on $60 000 and not take at least $100 000 to come to my club? Doesnt make sense.
In one case they player would not sign for me for less than $300 000 then he ended up signing for another club for $80 000.
If you are trying to be a simulation then needs to be sorted.
