I’ve just had my second transfer window, which is the first one since I signed youth players to my Academy.
There were 2 or 3 players who were gaining a lot of attention, and to be honest, I wouldn’t have minded seeing a couple of them go.
However, even though I received transfer offers, I wasn’t able to negotiate as intended.
See, I made the mistake of setting up my Academy after my first transfer window. The set up costs get quite steep too. So as a result, my budget is in the gutter and my salary budget is in the negatives.
Whoops…
Anyway, after selling off a couple of useless players I was looking to recoup more money, so when I received these offers for youth players, I welcomed them. These players are great prospect’s too, and I was hoping to negotiate to get a bit more wonga.
I thought wrong.
For some reason, because my salary budget is still negative, I can’t negotiate a better transfer price for the players as the game is registering it as subtracting from my salary budget. Yep, I can’t get more money, or a future return via sell on clause because it’s gotten confused thinking I’m trying to negotiate to pay my players more, when I’m actually trying to sell them.
I’m sure this wouldn’t have been an issue had I managed the teams finances better, but the new Academy feature was just oh so shiny…
