For me it'd be a novelty to win ONE game.

My Holy Grail would be the much sought after "2 in a row" :cool:

Was reading review of FM06 in PC Gamer UK this morning, and one of the negatives mentioned in the review is the sale of "donkeys" for ridiculous fees - he cites a £14k valued DL being sold for £700k.

Of course, we'd all turn that down due to being unrealistic, but it does seem an issue.

As Bishop's Stortford, I sold one of my strikers in the beginning of the game. Two clubs placed a 2K bid for him, which was his value - but I refused. Seeing as two clubs was interested, I "Offered to clubs" at 30K, and got two bids; one at 24 and one at 26 (both with 30% next sale fee).

Atleast he saved my financial status for season One. Still got 5 games left of my first season, I'll report back if I find more.

This is a major problem. I could not see myself rejecting an offer like that. No matter how hard I was willing myself to click 'reject', I just couldn't do it. Might have to hold off on getting 06 until this is sorted.... :thdn:

Hmm, looks like it perhaps is for non-pro teams too. The fax machine is hot in the office today. Flying in offers for all kinda players. Of course all are the central pillars of my team. People worth 3-5K are getting offers in the 250K region. Put 1M on my star player, will see how that turns out. If they get back to me with that kinda money, something is seriously fishy.

It's totally unrealistic. And if I were to take it I can say goodbye to promotion chances this year, and probably next too as nobody even close in quality is willing to think about joining.

I'm off to see the chairman

This just keeps going on with my newly promoted Fyllingen players, all my key players have been wanted at some point, and for 2 of them I've refused bids of £750-850K - as I could never spend the cash.

What makes it ever more unrealistic is that some of the bids are coming from other Norwegian Division 1 clubs - no way that clubs in the secon tier of Norway could afford fees like that. I've looked at the players I sold for stupid cash before, they're all rotting away in 2nd teams.

British Pounds Sterling you facker!

At least partially good news. I renogatiated the bids to half a million and a million quid, and they ran away like scared mice. The 250K bids aren't one-offs though. Several have come in.

This season with my Romanian underdogs, I have turned down:

£1.5m for a left back that has only played half a season of regular football, aged 19 - valued at £4k, from a club in the same tier of football as me.

£1m for a centre back that has only played half a season of regular football, aged 20 - valued at £3k, from a struggling top division side.

£250k for a 31 year old centre midfielder from a team who got relegated from the top division soon after.

£100k for a 27 year old foreign left back (who couldn't get in my side regularly) from a club in his home nation, who I paid £4k for a season and a half ago.

Seems like a problem to me...

End of season one I had a player valued at 35.000. Got a bid in for 450,000, hated myself for doing it but I sold him cause the finances were pretty bad. Realistically I think the very higest I should have got for this player is 100,000.

The bid came from a team in the championship and looking at this team after they had far better players in their squad so I don't even know why they would bid for him.

I had a good first season finishing 3rd in the conference south so my players stats tended to be good but all my players have jumped tremendously in value. Some are value 5 and 10 times more than they were at the start of the league. I think that is going too far. The over all value of my squad jumped from around 100,000 to 700,000.

I think player values and transfer fees needs to be toned down.
