Scaramanga Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Sometimes the discription of the agent doesnt really reflects his behaviour. -Agent X tends to laud his clients to other clubs (i read doesnt mind player moving clubs) -Agent X is a very patient negotiator (doesnt play hard ball or walks away fast) I offer a contract to one of his player, he counters my offer whilst making his fee non-negotiable and out of my range. Basically me having to up the players squad status or walking away from the deal. I dont call this very patient behaviour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is continuing to negotiate despite you making numerous offers that he deems unacceptable and has given you multiple chances to submit new offers. If he was impatient then he'd have walked away almost straight away, but he hasn't done that, he's continued the negotiations for a long period of time. I'd say that he's being very patient with you. Just because he's patient doesn't mean that he's going to roll over and accept a poor offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaramanga Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 I made one offer and he counters immediately with his non-negotiable fee. And it wasnt a poor offer. He agreed with all the bonuses plus squad status instantly The wage there was still a difference of a million, 5 against 6. The only problem was with the signing on fee. Especially his because it was out of my range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaramanga Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 A just notice something. When i click on the agents profile i get the -Agent X tends to laud his clients to other clubs -Agent X is a very patient negotiator info When the negotiations start different information comes available Which reads One: Agent X want the best deal for his client as himself Which clarifies his actions to an extend Two: Even if it requires a prolonged and drawn out negotiation process I think this would suggest some flexibility. I get that he doesnt go for my offer but making it non negotiable immediatley is a bit extreme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajescent Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I think no one is. He claims to be patient but after 1 round he goes straight to NG? That's not being patient. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wasn't patient he would refuse to carry on negotiating. The speech bubble would go red and that would be the talks over with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajescent Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 What about the yellow speech option? I've negotiated with a few who don't like their time wasted or something similar who have entertained my less than desired offers to rounds 3 and up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
