Bad youth players requesting squad player?


Recommended Posts

Can somebody explain this to me? I have had a lot of youth players coming through the U19 team and suck. I sually tend to just ignore them and set them for release when they are 19, but a few of them are....interesting. Like this guy:

I am playing in the Bundesliga, this guys is hilariously bad, even for a 3rd league team, he is not going to start. He feels he deserves a new contract. I told him i would look into it. That's what he wants:

If i click okay, he would want to earn 90k p/a, which is okay i guess, but he would still never play. He does not accept less playing time them that. Is this playing time for my reserve team, that is not in a league and consists only of the 4-5 youth players that wait to be released? Or is this guy actually believing, he should start in my first team? The recommende playing time for him in contract negotians is...youngster.

Some are slightly deluded, some have deluded agents. Sometimes it's dependent on what you already have in your squad - is there a pretty low rep/poor ability player who has a similar playing time promise?

Yes, none of my staff recommended me to keep em or put them anywhere near the first team. It's not the first time, basically whenever a youngster that ends in the second team wants a new contract, they go for squad player or similar and are not at all willing to accept less. It feels like they are arguing for a spot in the affiliate team, but i haven't found a way to distinguish betwwen two playing time wise. You either are squad player or you are not squad player. Maybe there is a way, but my staff seem to also believe these guys are youngsters and youngsters only.

What does the report say on his personality? He may be the big headed type who thinks he's better than he is

I'd just bin him off, he's got a cool name though 

It has been now 3 players in 2 weeks with the same range of skill that did this. Sounds like a bug. I binned those that were really arrogant in their talks :D

He is asking to be a squad player in the reserve team, not the first. I was also surprised when my players from the reserve team wanted a lot of playing time and then I switched them to the main team, to see if there was a difference and then they asked for much lower playing time. So it seems it's not a bug and working as intended.
