I have no money to cheat Cider. My current balance is 303K and will be going back down into red after my next game. Unlike you, I didn't take the easy option of having unlimited funds ;)

You've got a shortlist though, haven't you? You don't have to have immediate funds to be able to scout players in the cheat forums, which is obviously what you were doing. For a club with unlimited funds it's odd that my balance is -£219k, don't you think?

I wouldn't be scouting mid 70's players though. If you look at my squad, you'll see that's not my style and why exactly would I post in here that I was looking at the forums if my intention was to cheat? I'd simply do it on the sly like several other players have. You are making me laugh though, so keep it going!

FYI, before you took over at City they had 17 players rated over 90, now you have 10. If you are indeed in the Red, then I must applaud your efforts so far. You must have had one hell of a transfer kitty when you took over, at least what? 50million? A noble effort.
 
Forums are good to see if you're heading the right direction, but shouldn't be used as a transfer guide, after all they're only peoples opinions. For example, a quick look at the Turkish league standings, stats, etc gave me a few players who were an inevitability to increase - so I bought them.
 
Shame we can only offer coins we bought, otherwise we could bet the coins on friendlies or organize a reserves league with coins as prizes...

Definitely won't be me. It's hard to say from the other clubs though. I don't think it will be Stoke City either, and looking at Wolves' bid I don't think he'll be going there either. Probably QPR or Birmingham but I've got no idea what they would value Xhaka at. The bids are quite similar.

Oops:

Michael CARRICK has completed his move to Wolverhampton Wanderers from Internazionale for £1,004,000 plus Wayne HENNESSEY and Leigh GRIFFITHS . All other offers were turned down.

Good news for me. Can use the money for other deals. Carrick would have been nice but would have compromised some of my other transfers I'm trying to do.

And bad news for Newcastle as Mata goes to Leicester City:

Juan MATA has completed his move to Leicester City from Bayern München for £1,400,000 plus Paulo Henrique GANSO . All other offers were turned down.

Thought it'd be interesting to look on the forum (considering I have no money and wouldn't be able to buy anyone anyway) to see what they thought about the Croatian league and who would rise/fall. Seems like all the 70-80 rated players mentioned in the forum have already been bought by some of you. Isn't that interesting eh?

I can understand a club like Darlington doing it. But for a club like Sunderland to stoop so low... that's just not on! :nono:

No surprises there. I bet there's a good number that have been there for players and tactics.

I certainly did not have seventeen players over 90,

The players I sold for cash rated over 90 were: Kompany, Tevez, Barry
The players I traded over 90 were: Dzeko (for Ronaldo), Clichy (for Marcelo), Hart (for Neuer)
The players still at the club over 90 are: Silva, Aguero, Toure, De Jong

That's ten players, not seventeen. I now have eight over 90, but a much better squad overall with greatly improved potential and longevity. I had £19m in the bank to start with, much less than many Prem sides; there's no Sheikh throwing money around in this game and my stadium capacity is far less than that of rivals Arsenal and United so my ability to make money whilst keeping a wage outlay suitable for challenging for the big competitions is diminished in comparison.

The reason I'm in debt is because I spent all the money I had from the Balotelli sale plus the £2m or so I had in the bank right before two consecutive away games. It's no big deal; my squad is complete now, I've great faith in my players, I haven't bought anyone just to sell them on again once their rating rises like some back-market spice-merchant, so I've no problem with allowing my balance to more-or-less achieve equilibrium (it creeps up gradually over time).

Manchester City is the future of football; we may be having to make do with only eight players rated over 90, but in twenty-four months time that number will rise to fifty-eight, such is the precision and dedication with which I've cherry-picked my squad. Compare us to a club such as Liverpool with eleven players rated over 90 but a first-team squad of only sixteen souls and you can easily see which team is gonna be winning things for years to come.

Yes as it will help you bring in others as well as reduce the losses you make. The problem is you can't outright sell him due to the size of the squad, you'd need to part exchange ideally so you have some money as well as a player who will be on less wages.

Also best to leave him out of the next game you play as you don't want him to pick up an injury.

Just the man. I'm missing my best player for our game tonight. In the interest of fairness will you remove your best player also?

Thanks.

I have taken your request into consideration and will declare my stance in due course.

I wonder who Blackpool are playing tonight....

Yes, but you can't :lol:

Squad limit will go below 21 if you do, cant do that. Can't part exchange if you are in the red. How do you get out of the red? Selling players. Can you sell players? No.

It's a vicious circle omar.

I'm thinking of calling everyone back on loan, i'll have some 3 extra player, sell one to get out of debt, then exchange one or two. The problem is i don't know if there are enough quality players available

I think you have to recall them back, but you still need to sell one of your big name players to put you in a better position. And instead of going for the star names, go for those a bit lower rated but have had good seasons and may go up. They would be on lower wages than the players you've got now and you may be alright financially until the end of the season then.
