So hows Sommer getting on...
My team had reasonably good ratings, game appears kinda even, just goals flying in. Commentary seems to suggest the goals were good efforts and not mistakes. Just the regular seasonal slump

Tired tired Wolves!
The intensive training and no rest took its toll on the mighty Wolves this weekend when they succumbed to the heaviest defeat this season against the Champions.
New boy Torres and Feghouli failed last minute fitness tests and had to be replaced for tonights game causing for last minute changes in formation ant tactics.
The team failed to adapt to the new instructions and never really got into the game. After 4 MoM performances Muslera had a terrible game.
The mighty Wolves are hoping to bounce back in the relegation 6 pointer at Stamford Bridge on Thursday as Tuesday's team against City in the Cup will be fully consisting of youth players.

Real Madrid midfielder Lucas Silva is for sale.
Division 2 is looking very competitive. Good to see and reminds me of how things were in the first season.
Bristol in particular look dominant but they've got a few injury problems.

People are 6-2 be Wolves' fans now
Welcome El Shaarawy!
This marks the end of any major business at Arsenal for a while. Solid revamp this season which has resulted in a lot of money spent. Time to sit back now.
10 in 10 out.

Poor!
Think he is the player that RedSky mentioned in SM about a bidding war on a player heading to Monaco?
A bit of gamble IMO
Bah! Annoyed I missed out on him! feckin PE's are rubbish.
You could have easily sold players, people will all buy in the GW as there's a massive thirst for decent players!!
Not when people offer crap amounts for my players. I won't be selling cheap purely because I have a decent squad, i'd prefer just to wait until the player values are adjusted in the SM Update so I get their proper worth. The only way I make money is by selling players as I don't have a large stadium. So i'm not going to sell cheap purely because some of my rivals are. feck that.
I don't think he'l be there for more than a couple of seasons, stepping stone to a bigger club. Much rather him there than at Milan. Remains to be seen how well he recovers from injury, superb talent but never know after a lengthy layoff so yeah, it is a gamble in that way
Yup. Own chairman stupid overvalues the player being exchanged.
People are far more willing to pay for players at external clubs than talents being sold by a manager. Much like the Caf's attitude when it comes to "cast offs" from the likes of real, barca, etc.
Even if you get just over face value it is still better than using them in the PX. The problem is that people value players differently, but I don't understand some people that would rather sell to AI for £300k-£1m more rather than to a managed club for £1.5-£2m more.
Hulk & Biglia will be leaving today. If anyone is interested make an offer or PM me SM.
Mertesacker, Terry, Carrick & Milner are all still available too.

In 2nd place
Never trust our own chairman's valuation
I think my 2nd bid should also go through, which spells the end of any major transfer at my club for this season. Time to recover from my reckless spending
I'd only be in the market from the 10th of Aug as short on cash. I could buy couple of them!
That's not the market inflation though. If the player being sold was available at an external club, you'd have bids far higher than that coming in for the player. So therefore, why should we accept a lower value? None of my players are shit, none of them are cast offs. All play first team football for their clubs and will continue to rise, so why should I therefore take a huge hit in their sale? Fact is if you make shit offers then don't expect them to be accepted. I'd rather keep hold of them than accept crap low offers.
Take Korb as an example. 23 years old, 88 rated, plays regular first team football for Gladbach yet he's valued at 6.2m in my squad. Seb Rudy who's at an external club and 2 years older is valued at 7.8m. So Korbs actual value is at least 8.5m before any inflation is added on. But some managers will take the piss by bidding low despite Korb being in line to be raised up to 89 by December. Which would bump his value above 10m.
So either you bid smart and fair, or you just piss people off. A fair bid for Korb would be in the range of 9.5-10m, that takes into account market inflation and his rise to 89, while also still netting the bidding club a profit as Korb would be valued in the range of 10-11m when he hits 89.
Yes but there's two things to that:
1. Don't complain about PX's not working out
2. If you're willing to PX for face value why would you complain about low ball offers?
1. PX's are shit due to the Chairmen valuations, we all know this.
2. It makes sense to trade in players to get a better rated player. Ok, you'll be losing a little bit of money, but you'll be gaining a better rated player. It's not ideal, but hardly a disaster if it pays off. Players are more valuable than money.
I get what you're saying but I don't think you're getting me. If you're willing to let that player go in a PX deal with an external club for face value, then why not accept a low ball offer from an managed club? Its not like people don't want to give you money for him, its that money is tight! Externals are different because you find yourself in a bidding war. I;m sure people would pay high prices to managed's too if there was a bidding war. I paid £21.5m for Luiz because of it, otherwise I'd have paid £15-£18m.
It's not hard to understand is it?
One deal would net you a 90 rated player
One deal would net you a low ball amount of money
So from my perspective, why would I sell a player for less than the going rate? I'm not a charity, I don't have a large stadium. From a real life perspective, i'm not a Manchester United, i'm more like a Southampton and they get good money for their young players!
Hmm, I think I made the same mistake as RedSky
No, my P/E value dropped
Oh well, to the next target!
If you're selling him anyway is my point, why not get cash so you can offer more for the 90 rated, like Arsenal did. I think there is a lot of hostility going with transfers between managed clubs.
Again. Why would I sell him on the cheap? Why would I sell any player on the cheap unless i'm desperate for money (which i'm not).
Think you're just taking the piss tbh wanting players on the cheap and selling players for huge profits. All I want is fair bids for my players, that's not unreasonable.
I've never wanted or bought anyone half decent on the cheap for that matter. I buy and sell older players no one wants from AI as that's the fastest way to make money.
I would bid face value for a player at an external and up my bid if someone else did. Why is it different for a transfer with a transfer listed player at a managed club?
If you're insulted by the offer reject it, if you think you want more counter it., but don't complain about not getting players because your PX is not valued high enough

Are you serious? Do you even understand how the game works? No wonder you moan about having shit players.
FFP should make a real difference from now on with the new season starting. Great chance for some of the smaller clubs to get some good player both within and outside the gameworld. We're beginning to see a good distribution of talent throughout the GW and that can only be good.
Yup, FFP will cripple the big clubs now.
I think it's very good. Managers at the bigger clubs now have to make a call on whether a player will ever achieve a rating that's going to make them useful. No more stockpiling of super talents until they are good enough to play.

I don't understand the game or anything that goes with it yet you're the one complaining about one thing or another every single day
Its already had an impact. This season for instance, I have bought 10 players and as a result had to let go of 10. You're right about the effects becoming even more evident now once the season starts, I'd have to tear my hair out on who to sell to buy any talent that will emerge.

Justified complaints that are being addressed by the developers as they're fully aware that they're big faults with the current game.
Where did you hide Mouritterbug?I don't understand the game or anything that goes with it yet you're the one complaining about one thing or another every single day
I'm struggling to open up 2 spaces in my squad let alone 4/5 that I should be doing!
Bloody FFP. Whoever suggested it is an utter wanker.
Was just a few days ago you were proclaiming yourself as the best manager!I don't understand the game or anything that goes with it yet you're the one complaining about one thing or another every single day

I was just going to quote this post and reply:
Yup, everyone needs to give me a big round of applause for making it happen.
I hate you.
