Tried everything. Praising him, offering him the best contracts money can buy, but he wants to play a higher level of football. Is there ANYTHING I haven't tried? And don't say getting promoted .

retired_turfcat

have you tried getting one of his mates to the club

retired_sejalam

he doesnt have any mates - spends all his time playing pokemon on his gameboy and talking in a made up language.

no seriously, i bought him when he was 19 from feyenoord so he doesnt really have any connections. he is 'happy that Stern John has joined the club' though.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will double check his profile.

If they're ambitious, no way!

You need to get the team promoted and win win win!
Despite being loyal, but the temp of playing for the top teams and leagues is far too strong.

Well I was in League One when he said it, I'm now in Champ and he's still saying it, I'm guessing he wants PREM football, not sure he's good enough to get first team football in PREM though.

In my experience there isn't anything you can do, other than get promoted. How long is his contract, if you think there is a relaistic chance of you getting promoted before it runs out then don't worry about it, i've had players wanting to move before but they still perform well. If it runs out before you think you can get promoted try and get as much cash as you can.

meaby ask him to recomend a player or make him captain but dont think you gonna have luck keeping him. i would cash in but only for good price and buy more youngsters

Have you got a min. release in his contract? If not then fine, if so eliminate it.

Then if he has a long enough contract treat him like a footballer in the pre-bosman days (like an endentured servant) and force him to stay.

If that fails then you, my friend, are merked.

retired_sejalam

He has no contract now. He is still at my club but (luckily, in a way) he has been injured so no clubs have come in for him as of yet. Only a matter of time.

I am royally merked.
