Beacuse Germany is not licensed in FM, the same goes for Japan.it happenes to me all the time and when i click on gerymany none of the shadded squad come up.
i have found this player from river, but i can't buy him, why is it?/ is it becoz of argentinian league is view only in my saved game??
thats one **** good player there, pity you cant get him, what you can do is (I think) add yourself as a Manager of that team (if you have it as playable, which I dont think you do as their players wont be greyed out if you did) but you can offer greyed out players contracts which would make them into "real" players...
I have never done this but I have read during the game the tips that come up during loading screens mention this... may be a naughty way of getting him if you can that is
