robchamp Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 In Nov 08 on the Demo with Arsenal - thought I would try and sell some dead wood who havent impressed me in the demo. Rosicky - played 1 game then I offered him to City and they duly bid £30m straight. Van Persie - not very good for me - offered him to City and the bid £32.5m. They are going to make us all rich on this game. So far only got G.Rossi for £9.25m from the above £62.5m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopsy101 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 yep good for offloading pennant for 10mil+ and kuyt for 13mil+! others as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

moj Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Well I did get rid of Bendtner for around £12 million for that reason solely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 hope this is rectified tbh...will spoil the game.. and completely unrealistic in the sense mark hughes is so careful in the transfer market by nature TBH I wouldn't sell to them for a fee I consider unrealistic because I know it is just that. I got offered £16mil for Gallas for them, but chose to take the £12mil from Milan instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenose_92 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I think that is a realistic offer Arsenal, it shows City have to pay above the odds to attract high quality players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Hughes wouldn't pay £16mil for a 31 year old. Anyway, it's been and gone:) Purefun, this isn't really to do with playing as Man City, more about selling to them. So IMO it is OK where it is.

bean824 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 How can you offer to just Man City? Are you just offering to 'all human clubs' and they're bidding? And I agree, Mark Hughes is too careful with his money, no matter how much he has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Gone Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Well, if giving the new Liverpool manager a transfer budget of 5 million quid is "realistic" then Man City buying all my cast offs for big money and upping my transer budget is "realistic". (and most human players and up paying well over the odds for players they sign anyway, I hope SI leave this alone...it's evens things up a bit IMO). If anybody thinks the city thing is unrealistic, there is a very easy solution to your problem...don't deal with them, sell to other clubs (like "Arsenal_2111" has).

kopsy101 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 but maybe having a budget of 5mil is reasonable. After all riera was bought for about 8mil, keane for 20.5mil, dossena for 7mil and cavalieri for about 3mil. thats around 38.5mil. we may have sold a couple for a bob or two but the owners are already having a bit of trouble with money and are hardly going to let the manager spend 40mil then sack him and give the new manager the same.

Solid Gone Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I understand what you are saying Kopsy, but there has to be a certain element of fun to the game...and selling a few unwanted players to city for decent prices isn't a game-breaker for me. Superb result for us today BTW... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree thats why I put it on here - it shows that for the first season at least there is no club that can compete with them financially - and with Arsenal in Nov on the demo - im top with Man City sitting pretty in 3rd - they are goin to be a big force on FM09!!!!!!!!!!!!!

arsenal_2111 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 arsenalStill this should go into another forum namely GQ this offcourse IMO. If that is OK by you. Yeah, I agree about that. This forum is for getting recommendations mostly, and discussing players. Not their transfer systems. But I don't know if GQ would be happy with people naming players(however well known) in there. It's a tricky one, it could go in either TBH... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope of Pot, King of Nothi Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I have mixed thoughts on this issue. The transfer module is obviously quite complex and it would be foolish to try and sum it up thusly, but still, this is probably a simplified process of what is happening Is the player being offered greater than the ones we currently have for position x? Do we have adequate resources to place a bid for the offered player? Since these two points are both true, they put in a bid. When you offer them players, early in the game... Man City aren't as strong as they'd like to be, both depth wise and with their current squad players. I do think it is realistic that if players of this quality were to be come available, Man City would be inclined to put an offer in - partly because their threats to buy the worlds greatest could never, and will never come true. After a certain point, money really just does become bits of paper, plastic or metal. Anyway, as to Mark Hughes being fiscally responsible - well, the game probably has a variable where it attributes each manager with a willingness to delve into the market for absurd players, absurd prices, or whether they gun for the youngin's etc. Mark Hughes' probably just isn't set as conservative as perhaps he should be - but mind you, we don't know for sure that he is conservative because Blackburn in all likelihood never had any money. Mark Hughes might be sitting in his living room drinking beer and playing FIFA09, getting carried away with his super team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
