The transfer market in this game is the absolute worst. It's all well and good finding gems that will be first team options etc, but when you need to dip in the market for an 'oven ready' pro, you'll be paying a bare minimum £80m for somebody that will be in that core first 15 players you've got. But when I'm selling? It's like they all think the SPL is a charity shop. You just can't get anything like market value for anybody. I'm constantly fending off bid of £30-50m for my absolute best players, and we're not talking dross, we're talking about players who'd get in any club in the world. Then they get unsettled, and I'm actually quite happy to keep him unhappy and play him, but thern obviously we hit the time when there's 18-24 months left on their deals and I've got to get the money in because I hate losing people to a free. Just sold two players for about £40m including add ons, who I wanted £60m for really, and low and behold as soon they move clubs their market value moves to £90m.
Had one cunt who was moaning at his asking price, wanted to be sold for £25m. The cunt had just won young player of the UCL having scored 8 goals on route to the final from left wing ffs. Fuck off Carlos
