TomHAVFC Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I've just had a scout report of Italy come back with a high recommendation for a 17 year old Italian named Giulio Rea, now I've had a look at his stats and he is very good for his age, with the potential to become a leading Premiership striker in the future, so naturally I want to make a bid for him. But when I look to the left where the 'Make An Offer' option is usually there, I find that it's not there and so therefore I can't make an offer for him. Fwiw, There was another player on my scout report that interested me and he has an 'Make An Offer' option so why hasn't Giulio? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pires29 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Wait till the next transfer window and it should be back. It's like that with some co-owned players. No idea why it does that cause it doesn't do it with all co-owned players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standard liege! Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Must be co-owned, because i know you cant buy some co-owned players, due a clause in his contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnyboy Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Its so difficult because a lot of the co-owned are good players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevicus Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 You sure he isn't on loan? IIRC, you couldn't make a bid for players on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew2 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Must be co-owned, because i know you cant buy some co-owned players, due a clause in his contract. It's nothing to do with any clauses in contracts. You just can't bid for co-owned players when the transfer window is shut. Ever. Stevie mentioned players on loan- you can't bid for players who are loan if there is a agreed price in the loan deal should the club wish to sign the player permently.

TomHAVFC Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 He's not co-owned and he's not on loan. I'm totally bemused by this :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
medo24 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Have the trial games been played yet? I know that you can't bid for youngsters who are going to be appearing in them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodward1982 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 May sound stupid but are you sure he doesn't have an arranged transfer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Aja Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 May sound stupid but are you sure he doesn't have an arranged transfer. Good question. Although I'm sure he would've spotted that as well. I'm bloody well miffed too here, could you post a screen shot of his profile and transfer/squad status screen?... .....is he sleeping? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon69 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Is he unattached - if so he may be going to retire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnyboy Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 oh yeah maybe he is going to retire and therefore cannot have an offer made Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenwyne Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 There was an issue with 08 that if a newgen had played for his country before being picked up a club, you couldn't offer him a contract, but obviously that only happened with players from obscure nations.

Swindon69 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Players in the game do quit at that age if they haven't had a club for a while. Hopefully this'll be tweaked in the next version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Retire at 17yrs old? Yep, if a player hadn't had a club for a long time even at that age they sometimes decide to give up football and pursue another career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
