Transfer Budget issue

[Bigshow1985]

I am Tottenham in my current game and had a transfer budget of £28m after selling players etc, and when purchasing a player for 10m upfront and with 30m over 48 months it said when offering the transfer offer that it would take 18m out of my current transfer budget, only once the player signed i was left with 2m.

is this a current bug issue or miss calculation with Fm or am i missing something obvious?

thanks in advance.

It also has to include the agent fees and signing on fee for the player.

IIRC bonuses also take up a chunk out the outgoing payment, something like the board anticipating how much the player is likely to play for his appearance fee or goal bonuses or team of the year bonus. To put it simply, it just doesn't allow you to offer crazy terms to agents and high bonuses so you can bring down the player's salary anymore. Those things used to come out of the club bank balance now it comes from your transfer budget.
