Co-Ownership Deals

[ilackcreativity]

Well I kinda have an idea of how it works, but I'm not really sure of how to take advantage of it.
I mean, why not do a full transfer from the start?
Sorry if I'm kinda slow, lol

Thanks for the share mate
But it seems the thread's kinda dead...so as I understand it, there's no point in accepting a co-ownership offer for one of my star players that I regularly play right? And if I want to try out a player then a co-ownership deal is one of the ways to try him out other than a normal loan?

If you are the 'selling' club the only times it's viable to accept a co-ownership are (imo anyway)

1. The player in question is not in your first team plans and isn't a hot prospect, so taking a bit of money now, whilst shrinking the wage bill is a decent deal, with the potential to either:

a. get some further money later down the line if the buying club takes a liking to him.
b. get the player back after 1-2 years and still have the option of selling him on, and who knows, superior training/coaching at a 'bigger' club may have improved him into a player that you feel is worthy of a first team spot.

2. The player insists he wants to leave but you want to retain him. He is rejecting all contract offers and morale is low. A co-ownership with the potential for you to regain full ownership in 1-2 years (by this time you may have won the league/got better finances/got a better reputation) when he may be willing to work with you again is better than losing him completely.

But what about the case i'm a big club ( Juve ) buing a young talent's 50% share and leaving him with his team ... Should i make it a 1 or 2 years ?and if i set a future fee ... will this help me sign him when he's a world class for a cut price ??? or it's a set fee for either clubs too meet ????

I think if both teams want the player, they submit a blind bid.

Almost every single time I've co-owned, I've gotten the player back with a 0 bid. However, just this past season, I lost a DM that I valued when lo and behold, the other team bit the full other 50% that they could in the blind bid. I actually had bid several thousand just in case. Oh well, replaced him with someone far superior anyway.
