They obviously don't know he is only 3.5 star potential... Either there's one mad bidder or you're going to get a huge sale on this guy, with so many hours left you should get a ton of bids. Certainly has priced me out of the market!

Accepted your bid for that goalkeeper. He is 4 star potential, so may go for a bit though. But at least you'll get a leg up with the bonus. You may get lucky and get him fairly cheap. Accepted because I'd rather take the cash up front than pay wages till he gets decent.

I'm looking to the future atm, if I stick at TM then I should get some promotions fairly soon, at lot of 4-star potentials in my side.

At the very worst I'll try bid him up for you ;-). I don't imagine I'll get him unless he goes for under say 20mil, but I can always keep on bidding against agents.

Man I hate transfers which expire at overnight. Striker I'm trying to get to be my 4th choice, leading the bidding with a low figure, it'll shoot up in the last hour when I'm unable to do anything about it. So this is how they get you to buy TM Pro....

It also rewards more frequent checking of the transfer market I guess. That was the way pre transfer agent anyway.

And so it has happened.... Didn't really expect to now lead the bidding, was going to stop bidding him up at 20million! But certainly better than an agent holding onto him at 3million.

I'm sitting on $250million. Need a new centre midfield as one of my first team ones is about to retire at end of season. Unfortunately I've been too busy recently to be on transfer market. Excited at the potential players I can afford. Hoping I can see a great buy in the next few days.

Definitely want to be putting all your money into expanding that stadium! Reckon you could get almost 10k more in there. That's $200k per home game you're probably missing out on (300k average per week)

You do occasionally get lucky toward the end of the season,less people active, people either don't have money or they're saving for the NT sale. Bad time to sell, good time to buy.

The annoyance of the transfer market, I keep seeing guys with 3 and a half star potential go for big money, I sell a guy with 3.5 pot and he goes for 1.5 million. 

I'm staying away from buying players now, ending up with far too many foreigners.

 I have been looking at the transfers, but I am trying not to blow all my money in the first week, with a new season due to start.

 I put a number of my players up for the transfer list but there are zero bids, which I am not surprised about

Unless your guys are studs then they usually won't get bids until a few hours to go, when the overseas teams manage to get a look at them on the transfer list. Lots of bidding wars happen late

Even so he must have started the game with a fairly high amount given he's only played 39 games.  I guess it's just me bitching about the fact that I had to start with all players at zero routine.  Nice trading though.

He would have been created from the youth academy at age 19. They tend to add a bit of routine to make up for the lost years.

Pondering whether to sell all my good players to make a shitload from these crazy-high transfer fees, maybe look to make some cash and then reimburse slightly later in the season.

Just sold my best but aging striker for 10mill, might cost me a bit in the short-term but long-term I should be better off. Just have to man up and pay a massive fee for someone I think.

Happy with 20 million for Scott Bastow peow? Was trying to get him but ending up bidding him up, 20 million a little too steep I thought.

 Yea, put him on the transfer market without realising that he is my only decent Kiwi defender so I had to quickly find someone to replace him. Ended up signing Wynton James for 20 million as well. Younger defender with a bit more potential.

I need to start looking for a decent keeper of 4 stars at least, preferably a Kiwi as well.

Think he may end up at 4, because his development status is mostly done. Probably needed some better training facilities to get 4.5. He'll probably pip it eventually mind you.
