Meh the AI has no idea how to conduct transfers, its again a big problem that hasn't even been looked at as far as I can see. Par Example: Theres a player playing for Birmingham in the premiership, hes never played a single first team game(2 years-no significant injuries), his value is 1.5 mil, I enquire about him (I'm a championship team) they say 3.6 mil, I tell them I'll pay 2mil and they tell me to **** off (which is stupid enough without this nexxt part) and the next second hes sold to charlton (who are in the
prem) for 1.6 mil. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The AI definitely screws the player over with transfers and it has done in every FM.
SI don't seem to think this is a problem and I guess its part of providing a 'challenge' to me.
Also the i tried to buy Hossam Ghali in 2011, Tottenham say yes remarkably and I'm happy, the next day 25 different teams come in for him ranging from AZ to Luton, of course he ends up at AZ, no one was interested in him until I was, the A.I cheats when it comes to transfers.
When my GOOD players attract attention (far too rarely)from premiership teams the offers I receive are less than 1/3rd of their value, I try and barter and I can never get more than 1/2. These are serious issues that have been in very FM and yet.absolutely **** all has changed........again.
