Davidcc Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Playing as Leeds. Aware of Phil Foden's real life exploits for England U17s, I put in a cheeky suggested bid amount of just over his somewhat low game value without any real hope of success. Man City unsurprisingly rejected the suggestion but put in a negotiated transfer value of £106 million!!! I spent a few seconds hunting for the decimal point but there wasn't one. I suppose that is one way of saying we don't want to sell. Needless to say the transfer didn't proceed. Anybody seen a higher "go away" figure than this for a very young player?

Arsenal set £120m for me when I tried to bid for Rob Holding, then I got a scout report saying Jamal Lascelles was available for £3.3m and £25k p/w after Newcastle got relegated.. Needless to say I told Arsenal where to shove it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 £142m + sell on % request for Alexander Arnold... that was a 2nd return offer.. after they wanted 194m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michalgottwald Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Yeah, this is definitly something new. Tried to bid for unhappy FC Midtjylland striker Paul Onuachu, and was quoted £40M. That's for a 23 year old player valued at 1.5m, that doesn't have much room to grow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonlondoner Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 There are still a lot of bargains out there though. I've focused on building the squad in FM18 rather than go for a "big ticket" player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 yea, but youngsters are first port of call for replacing players, ended up getting Juanfran for 20 odd million... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpillBlood Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 This isn't new. It's basically the games way of telling you that the team doesn't want to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have assembled an entire new backup defense from Newcastle alone with Lascelles, Mbemba, Clark & Dummett. All for less than £20m if my scouts estimation are to be believed.

Sheep Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I think in FM18 it really is cost effective to invest in your own youth facilities and developing your own players rather than relying on buying players. Even in League 2 I would have to sling around 100k+ just to get a good player for that level. It's not sustainable. #InvestInYouth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in England, young English players cost a fortune compared to the equivalent European players but that's just the same IRL so been trying to pick them out at 15/16 when they don't cost 1000 times their value! Obviously haven't gone far enough in yet to see if this will pay off but my Cardiff U18 are smashing it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu_UBJ Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 It's been on the past three or four FM at least. You bid for a top youngster, and they come back with silly counter-offers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I sell, and they end up going on loan to some League 1 team. And I was Celtic, playing in Champions League giving them games. Invest in youth helps until big teams low ball you and player wants to move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeonflux Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I agree with the advice of investing in youth as it does pay off. The point about the bigger teams low balling for players and then getting pissy and asking to leave is also an annoying part of the game, I just hope that they've resolved the issue of clubs doing that from last year. I had a problem with last years game being that, during a Man United save I had, I was winning the league every season and either winning or getting to the final of the CL each year and whenever I tried to unsettle a player it never worked and they wouldn't want to move but time and time again Real Madrid would try and unsettle my players (and it always worked) and yet they hadn't made it to the quarter finals in 4 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then had a system of offering them good contracts as soon as they start playing well and then updating it before windows. Seemed to help as after I started doing that I could talk them round. I had the problem with established players though had the best cb in the world at Chelsea. Won the league and got to the final of the champions league but as soon as Madrid came in (who finished 7th in spain) he wanted to go and form nose dived) Happens too much with senior players even when winning. I understand one or two players having their head turned that happens but one season had 9 out of a title winning 11 wanting to leave to teams who weren't winning in their divisions! very frustrating. Not sure if its a bug or just how the want the game to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
