A Slight Annoyance

[Dropkick GaS]

I don't know how much this crops up for others on this game. But i increasingly find it annoying when i go in a bid for a player and the club in question keep rejecting and rejecting what ever bid i throw at them.
Then comes along Man United or Chelsea a season later who then seem to pick that same player for pittance.

For example i was bidding up towards £80m for Balotelli (not that i would pay that much for him) and it kept getting rejected by Madrid. Fast forward to the summer and Man United have just bought him for £16.75m
The same happened with me trying to purchase James Rodriguez in my 2nd season with Arsenal. Bids of up to £40m were getting rejected by Monaco. Along come Chelsea that same season and purchase him for £17.75m

Is SI Games actually aware of this? Seems a little unfair that you could potentially be forced to splash out all of your budget on player you want or need to strengthen. Yet my rivals get their targets for bargain prices.

The teams may be adding future fees, sell on fees, etc. Also, I find clubs are more likely to sell in the off season, rather than during the season. Also, teams are more willing to sell for lower when the contract is running down or the player is in poor form or has been replaced by the selling club.

Clubs won't want to sell to a rival club/disliked club either. Managers are less likely to sell to you if you are in their list of disliked personnel.

This might be what is happening to you. Think about these possibilities if you find this trouble in the future.
