Hey guys,
All around the forum you see success stories like "this played was a beast for me", "he had an average of 8.3 for two seasons for me" etc etc. What we don't hear about is the players you brought in and flopped. So thought I'd start a thread to see other the none successful side of FM.
I've not been on this version that long, but one of my flops was Bradley Wright-Phillips. for Tranmere Rovers. Braught in for 150k (I think) ended up playing only 4 games and deteriorating so bad, was one of the highest earners at the club at the time on 4.5k and didn't pay back a penny. I probably could of played him more, but he was shockingly bad when he played so ended up dropping him and he never got a look in since. Ended up paying him off and releasing him for 100k. Could of and should of spent the money much wiser at the time.
Not the most expensive flop obviously, but for the club at the time it was a signing that I felt would be quite exciting but I was wrong.
Don't be shy and share your flops. Where did you go wrong? have you bought any of the top talent and it just didn't happen for you? Would be interesting to see.
Cheers.
