Just had something happen not sure if a bug but a little bit annoying.
At Bradford in my 2nd season signed a player (Roy O'Donovan from sunderland) on loan for three months.
He scores 14 goals in this period and I decide to sign him permanantly (transfer to go through in jan) making several sizeable offers all of which Sunderland stall on stating they wish to wait and see if they get a better one......Fair enough.
After 4/5 offers that are all rejected or stalled (bearing in mind he can sign a pre contract in jan to move on a free) i notice Dunfermilne have had a £0 bid accepted and are discussing terms I check his profile expecting to see the "approach to sign" icon appear but nothing!!! I make another £650k offer which is stalled and he agrees terms with dunfermilne and signs for nothing in jan.
Reason for post:
1. Why can Dunfermilne approach to sign him and I cant? Is this a bug?
2. Why would Sunderland turn town 4/5 offers of around £700k for a player who is out of contract?
3. Has anyone else had this???
Sorry for the monster post just wanted to get it all down on paper correctly!

That being true, but NO club in the World would turn down a hefty £750 000 just to let the player leave on a freebie!.
Might want him to play abroad so as not to risk facing him in future. Dumb but does happen. I would have taken the money personally. And I belive that just about every chairman on earth would also. So I reckon it is a bug. Sorta
what used to work is putting a ridiculously huge bid in for the playyer, having the club accept it then offering the player a huge contract so he accepts quickly. delay the signing until you can offer him a free contract then cancel the huge bid and get him on the cheap!

Although i don't think you can cancel an agreed transfer after both parties have agreed to it.

I think he means keep clicking on the delay transfer option, until you can offer a contract.
I wouldn't do it myself though as i don't view it as fair.

Ok, but you can only do that 2 or 3 times so you have to go throught the transfer negotiations 3 or 4 times until it is possible for you to offer a contract to the player, by which time he'll be so p****d off with you delaying on the transfer he won't want to join you.
An interesting one??
