Is it just me that finds the transfer market on FM14 a bit strange? I'm able to profit massively from the contract expiries that would never happen in real life, and purchase/sell for daft amounts of money.
I'm Southampton in my 5th season, here are my stand-out deals...

Season 1:
Tom Ince free - Sold for £17.5m in 3rd season
Marco Verratti on loan for 3 yrs, bought for £9m - He's worth 20m now and just scored 25 goals in 31 games (AMC)
Andros Townsend £13m - To me this is quite cheap
Ron-Robert Zieler - £5.5m - Bargain
Sold Morgan Schneiderlin - £18.5m

Season 2:
Douglas Costa - Bought for £13m, sold for £31m after 2 average seasons
Fraser Forster - Bought for £5m, sold for £16m after 2 average seasons
Eder Balanta - £8.5m and is basically a beast
Sold Dani Osvaldo for £14.75m - Cheers
Sold Jay Rodriguez for £13m - Was useless

Season 3:
Sergi Roberto (Barca) - Signed for free, played 16 games then next summer sold for £24m
Humam Tariq - £3m, young Messi

Season 4:
Oxlade-Chamberlain - £7.5m - Way too cheap
Domenico Berardi - Free, sold for £13m in Jan after playing 2 games because he can't be registered
Marco Reus - £6m.... I'll let you guys comment
ter Stegen - £4.3m.... Same

Season 5:
Daniel Sturridge - 4.2m
Mario Gotze: Free, Unattached.... Hmmm


I'm not sure if it's made it more enjoyable that I'm getting such an advantage from the market, or that it's spoiling it by being too unrealistic oO)

Apart from Reus none of these are 'crazy'... and quality players leave on a free all the time.
 
Why the ****** **** does this never happen to me?! >.<
 
I got Vitinho, Reus, Gotze, Ince, Vietto, Roberto, Yann M'Villa, Balotelli on free.

Sold them for 150 million combined. Get them on a free. Loan them out or give them a few games depending on what the squad situation is. Sell them for profit.

In all my saves, Neuer refuses a contract extension but he doesn't want to play outside Germany so never signs for me. In the end he accepts a contract offer from Bayern eventually towards the end of the season.
 
It's put me off my save, I shouldn't really have those players for that cheap
