TheHuss Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I've noticed this in numerous versions of FM, but this one seems really stark and I couldn't find discussions of the issue. There is no way in my mind that Pogba should be signing for a club like PSG for significantly lower wages, lower squad importance and with an "average" loyalty bonus. I'm not bothered in this case because I want him out, but in terms of game balance this seems like it could skew things. Bug? I can't think of a logical alternative...

wattzy Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Not sure I agree with you here. Realistically there's only 3/4 clubs in the world who could afford his wages. You're trying to get rid of him from yours, and he's gone to wherever will pay him the most. I don't think him being a squad player matters much when signing for a club like PSG/City/Madrid. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurs08 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 If he had a longer contract, I'd agree with you. But when it's expiring and you don't want to renew, it's a different matter. Keeping that much money isn't an option he has available to him, so he should broadly go to wherever's going to offer him most now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHuss Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 He wanted to leave and I went along with it, it's his last big contract, he should be at his peak age and CA-wise, and to add to the scenario PSG will have a Mbappe sized gap in their wage bill. I don't think it's realistic at all that Pogba goes for significantly less wages and less squad importance than he's for a free transfer. The whole point of leaving on a free is to get the highest wage and signing on fee. He definitely should not be earning 100k per week less and a middling signing on fee at the age of 28. I can't think of many, if any cases where this would happen irl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHuss Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 He wasn't transfer listed, he came to me saying that he wanted to leave on a free and I went along with it. It doesn't make sense that he takes the first offer when it's less than his current deal. He's playing regularly and well for me, and it seems logical to wait for better offers from other teams, or renegotiate with me (not that I would necessarily want him to stay).

Garethjohn79 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Check the managers salaries Pep (£350,000 PW) has resigned from City in 2023 to be replaced by Tuchel(£160,000), Klopp(£36,000) at Inter, Mourinho(£175,000) still on his real life contract.

TheHuss Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 Are these out of work managers taking contracts that seem incorrect? Regardless, Klopp seems totally off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no chance that another club will be stupid enough to pay him what United pay him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
