Don't know if any one else has noticed this, or maybe I am just imagining it - Some players are retiring after being released (30, 31 32 years old) that just arent that realistic.
Example -Jermaine Jenas gets released by Spurs - I try and sign him as a mid prem team as a third choice - he wants far too much money! He wouldnt be considered the best midfielder in the squad, so cant really be the highest paid overall player. He wont agree to join for any less so I move on to someone else.
Come Jan, he is still free - still wont accept any less than before! then in Feb, he retires at 30 as no-one has signed him! Surely this needs tweaking as there is no way he would choose to retire over getting £25k a week still playing in Prem.
Another player - Makhtar Thioune gets released by his Norwegian team - over a YEAR later, no one has signed him - he still wont even discuss terms with me (different team, different save) and then retires aged 28! If a player has been out that long he would listen to any offers coming his way.
These are just two examples I can remember - it seems to happen quite a lot.
