I paid one max value. But that's only because I really want him!

irishgoldberg

If I get even half my targets il be thrilled. Looking forward to seeing positive messages from sm tomoro!!!!

kids in bed ... time to dive back in for some more offers

tonic wine

If no offers were recently made on a player, I wonder will we have any updates after midnight?

The suspense of it all, like the night before Xmas lol..
If will be interesting to see what tactics managers went for, and how it all plays out. Its interesting to see when a few managers all offer around the same, and 1 manager overpays a huge amount.

I think all this effort will deserve a vote when the dust settles down
Signing of turn 1
Bargain of turn 1

If I get my main targets il happily pay over the odds!!

I think it's gonna be mass desperation, somebody will have all their bids accepted, but it will be more than they can afford and will have to pick the ones they don't want. Then everybody dives in for other players, I can see it being messy, hope somebody comes to Porto.

Why is 150m the highest you can offer for a player?

Just a dumb cap they imposed.

Years ago you could bid as much as you wanted - there was no such ting as a chairman's cap - but you could never bid over £99m. That's the way I remember it anyway. It was an awfy long time ago ...

irishgoldberg

**** me I was the highest bidder on EVERY player





Problem is I don't have enough money

Beefy78

That could have gone better. Only player I really wanted I went max bid on and still lost out.

wish i had read this before cancelling bids

Colemania

Good news - only lost out on Higuain so far

Bad news - highest rated player I'm getting in is 92.....

Maybe I should have went the much chosen route of quality over quantity....

Ive adjusted my bids to make sure i have the cash to get him

Colemania

Ok i just realised I've brought in a few too many right back/right mids..... I don't play right backs but I do play right mids. Do I cancel and chance someone else or just keep them to trade with later? All the good players will be gone from the clubs I cancel the deals with so I'm torn...

Beefy78

Cancel. Don't be a stockpiler. No-one likes those people.

Who was the one you really wanted and did you get him? My guess was Ter Stegen ...

GT_TDI_150

All going well, Higuain will be landing in Madrid shortly ... if he does, Falcao will be available!

I also have an 88 rated GK that will be geetting the road ... currently have an external bid, any one here want him, bid minimum

KERSPLAT!

Icardi, Felipe Anderson and Bonucci on their way to Barca. A few others that I just missed out on but I'll leave the bids in place in case the higher bid drops out. Overall happy so far with the way it's going and plenty more players available

GT_TDI_150

I think Higuain, Douglas Costa, John Stones and Perrin to Real are done deals ...

Sweating on a few others

Higuain was for a great price too.

EDIT - I was thinking of Benzema...

Douglas Costa was the one guy I was overpaying for. Had a bid of £28m tabled. Then I did the sums and realized I wouldn't have enough poke so I cut it back to £23m. Turns out he went for over £30m so it's all biscuits anyway ...

Reckon he will be the one to rise to 94/95 in the not too distant ...

£68m wouldn't be a great price by my money anyway but sure

Ha....good point. Sorry I was thinking of Benzema who I saw went for just above asking price.
