Thing is MJJ, Buy Back and First Refusal are very different. First Refusal is a fairer option as it allows any club to have a chance to sign the player. Buyback gives no other club a chance of buying the player.
Buyback: Should the original selling club bid a set amount the buy back is triggered. The figure doesn't change.
First Refusal: Should the player have a bid, the selling club must match the bid to trigger the buy back.
You used Buyback, I used First Refusal. I used first refusal on a 75 rated youngster, you used buyback on one of the best young players in the game.
Buyback:
- Frees up 1 player cap
- Frees up 90 rated wage (45k)
- Removes any concerns he had
- Allows you to sign 90 rated for a fixed sum
- Manager could go back on his deal and not sell you the player (that's a matter of making sure you sell to the right manager)
First Refusal:
- Frees up 1 player cap
- Frees up 75 rated wage (7k)
- Someone could bid more and buy the player
Feel free to add more if you can think of any, black = positive, red = negative. You can therefore see that the situations were different, player ratings should obviously matter because their are gameplay features like concerns/wages that are rating based and therefore you are (cleverly) getting round.
Also I do see your point about everyone trying to sign Paco before leaving. But then again, everyone was maxing out the bid, so although cheeky, it was for a substantial sum of money and from memory you bid much less and bought him back. That's from memory though so could be very wrong on that. Apologies if I am. Anyway, I won't post anymore on the subject so i'll let you have the final word if you wish so.
