Hey all. Llong time reader, first time poster here.
I'm playing 11.3 and towards the end of my second season with United. I've tried to sign Phil Jones every transfer window but with no success. I won the FA Cup and the EPL last year (and went out of the UCL semis to Inter 9-8 on aggregate!) so my managerial credentials should be good enough to sign a teenage prodigy from Blackburn!
Having offers accepted over and over the problem is with contracts, his agent sinply stating his client has "no interest" - a fact confirmed on his scouting page. I've started new saves as Arsenal and again as United. The result is Jonesy accepts Arsenal without question but will NEVER sign for MUFC.
I praise him often, after each meeting with them and around every transfer window but he just isn't interested. Will this continue forever or will he eventually buckle? Rio's back is starting to give out and reliable though Smalling and Evans are I always like to have 4 quality CBs.
I know Blackburn are geographically close to us but there's no intense rivalry there so the boy shouldn't feel disloyal for making the switch (saying that, i poached Micah from city for peanuts in the previous window and he didn't seem to have any issues moving to a rival).
I'm just concerned another big gun will snap him up as he is and has been number one on my wanted list since the start of the game!
