    Surely the other issue is that it just moves the 'auction' 3 months down the line if you assume that the players get added at the point where they still are at their 'small' clubs

    At least then the small clubs can sell these players on if they choose. Or they can keep them.

    He did...

    Point being Liverpool couldn't grow a good player to save their life! (Que the massively over rated and semi-reired S Gerrard fans, who by the way never won the league.... just saying)


    Lads, ye are arguing over nothing anyways, the method won't be changed

    You clearly did :D He said QPR so why the need to point it out... he had admitted it! The hate is strong in this one :D

    The opposite...I am claiming he wasn't a Liverpool prospect!!

    I am saying that over the last few years he is the best player to break through at Anfield and Liverpool were not his first club. It was in answer to another poster who stated if players spawned at their original club then all the big clubs would get the top players as they start there and therfore the smaller clubs wouldn't have a chance of bagging anyone.

    I was arguing they don't all start at big clubs and in many cases it is the exact opposite. The example was Sterling...

    In fact how often do big clubs produce top players? Barca are an obvious example but who else?

    Yep, but nobody cares about externals, i am talking about managed clubs. If we are talking about externals i believe the bidder with the weakest team or player in that position should get him.

    An don't get me started on Bayern getting JuanFran or indeed me getting everyone in the player sale!!!

    Anyway..As champ my opinion is worth more than yours...So zip it!!!!:pac::pac::pac::D:D:D

    I understand what you're saying but I think it's fine the way it is. As was said above, they'd be at externals and a free for all anyway...

    Everyone has the opportunity to bid and nab the player. The mess of the value going up is a joke but sure, what can ya do?!

    Okay.. I'll try another way to explain...

    Basically I Bypassed the whole fundamentally pointless discussion that was being had (because IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE!) to have a RL Utd fan pop at a RL Liverpool fan in....

    Better?



    Should be able to read between the lines at this point lads ;-)

    Why is it a joke?

    Tbh I quite like it, if you don't put in the work you don't get into the final round of bidding....

    Forces more people to log on more often, where is the downside?

    If they could FORCE those people to check PM whilst on they have it locked down imo

    It's obvious but I'll spell it out just for you ;)

    Price of player = x
    Just before bids are accepted price of player = y
    Price of player should remain x unless there is a change is the players stats, i.e rating, age, etc

    X + Y is the sum value of Z...

    The other way of looking at it is, by changing the value of the existing player (let's call that a) to a higher value once added (let's call that b)

    End result is c...

    C = reward for those who put in more effort..

    Damn, just been schooled son!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,124 ✭✭✭Colemania


    It's ok Tupac, you can let out your frustration on us Liverpool fans. Wouldn't want the fans of the title favourites at the start of the season getting upset now would we? :D

    Believe it or not your NOT on the naughty list when it comes to PMs or bids! In fact you'd be top 5 at getting back (always the wrong reply but that's a different topic!)

    Just to wade in rather lately to the new players debate etc. they actually had the best system in place a while back where the chairman of lower rated teams seemed to value other players higher. This meant that lower rated teams could outbid the higher rated teams and is exactly why Cruzeiro are now in the strong position they are currently in.

    We'll never have another team like Cruzeiro again as long as this system is in place.


    Also, I remember a time when (not always I admit) but very often once a bid went in on a player it seemed like it would reset a timer to another 24 hours approximately to give a chance to other bidders to respond. The way it is now with bids for new players, people have very little time to change their bid which is incredibly unfair given that they had already bid the maximum they could at that time.


    I think the key point though is that SM needs to remember that people have lives. Players shouldn't be punished because they can't log on every minute of every day simply due to things like oh, you know, work.

    Dude.... I work 12.5 hour shifts 3 days a week.... 2 kids...... football training twice a week... etc etc....

    I've yet to get caught out on a valuation change.... if you want the player you will remember to log back in, that simple..


    I had ALL my bids in (A LOT) for players that because available from unmanaged the same day as my WEDDING!

    #smpriorities

    No excuses lads, you don't adjust your bid you don't deserve to be in the final round of the auction. Simple as that
