Yep, that was what you had to do in 07 as well - new contract.

I have one solution to this - don't just reject bids! You should negotiate for a price you think you'd sell the player for. If you don't want to sell - just ask for some unrealistic sum (like 15 mil or something in that range). I have never had a bid for my player accepted by the chairman just because I have never rejected any bids (a few enquires maybe). I hope I helped!!!

My technique has been to negotiate and give an outrageous figure so that the bidding club change their mind. The player in question is also happier

I'm sorry for double-posting but I can't edit/delete!
I meant 150 mil not 15.

Yes, it's not like a 17yo playing in CL games for Barcelona is something you could know without using a guide.

Good news, it seems (from reading the bugs forum) that SI is looking into fixing this (i.e., at least they recognize that it's a problem).

I tried staling offers and new contract and nothing helped.

I guess uninstall is in order.

Quick question for those more experienced with FM 2008 than I: I started a new game with Valladolid. After looking through the good player guide, I picked up Bojan and Johnson (the one from MLS) at the beginning of the first season. Both went on to have spectacular seasons and I rarely needed to rely on another striker pair. I finished third at the end of the first season, which I think is pretty good given that Valladolid was a relegation candidate at season start. I got a number of offers for them and issued a hands off warning and, still, my chairman sold BOTH of them. The worst part is he sold them for $7 million (more or less) each when I had already gotten BETTER offers that I had rejected.
If your chairman accepts bids for players, can't you just offer them a contract also? If they sign, the deal doesn't go through. At least on 07 that's the case.
