jmf1488 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 2019 and ive taken charge at Barcelona. Current team is full of AI transfers. Players with 2* CA/PA on more than 200k a week. The wages that club was paying out was shocking. Messi on 500k a week? a handful on over 300k and a ton on over 200k the rest of the squad between 80 and 200. Its no wonder there wage bill for last year was 188m wtf. Anyway. Planned to rebuild Barcelona for a couple of seasons before shifting on. First signing i tried to make was a player who excaped from the youth, Rafinha. Anyway. 55m bid accepted and he was 350k a week wages?? WTF ive never seen anything like this bit. Does anyone know if this is how it is for Barcelona or will be able to sign players for normal wages? Thinking of reloading my old save and not taking the job.

brawla123 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Were you not able to negotiate it to a lower wage at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakon Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 It's not your save. I think it's common that AI Barca offers new contract to Messi and he signs for £500k p/week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmf1488 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 Were you not able to negotiate it to a lower wage at all? I offered him 150k which was a bit more than the 90k he was on but his agent walked out saying we were to far off to negotiate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurs08 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Part of the issue is that the circumstances mean he's going to make fairly high demands. He'll want parity with what you're paying players of a similar ability and reputation and he knows with your finances you can afford to do so. This kind of rebuilding is always going to be a gradual process and you're going to have to be flexible in your approach to make it work. It's clearly something they've struggled with in real life too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbchuz Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 How have they performed in the last few years? I'm not sure how well reflected this is in FM, but if a team slips in its achievements then it can very soon experience the need to overpay to attract players as it can't quite offer them the same assurances of success. The likes of Man Utd currently springs to mind (they are subsidising their declining prestige with increasing wages). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
