Oh, let me tell you about stupid transfers. First, it's nearly impossible to sell someone unless he's not on the transfer list and a club is interested. Second, AI always makes insulting bids for them. And wages have no influence on that. For example, I signed Bolado on a free in my first season with Palace and loaned him to Watford for the season. He had a good season and came back a "good championship striker". He is on 2.5k per week and is valued at 475k, in his last year of the contract. Offering him away for free - no takers. The only deadwood I've been able to get rid of left for peanuts and I'm still paying at least half the wages for. But this season was the first time the AI was on the receiving end, albeit it was self inflicted. My first game into my second season, Owen Garvan comes to me to complain about lack of first time football. I found it odd, given that he was getting playtime in the previous season and this one only started. Still, long story short - he found himself on the transfer list. Fast forward 2 days - Derby, freshly promoted comes to take him on loan. They offer me 850k pounds per month, pay 10% of his wages(which are 16k) and have the option to buy him for 800k at any time during the loan. This is the worst financial decision I have seen in my life, bar none.
