When I got Spurs, I had a transfer budget of 70m. And no one wanted anything but crazy money for 90+ players. I placed bids on dozens of top players. And most people said that the players weren't for sale. And in time, I settled for some players. I've still got a little in the bank. And if I saw a 90+ player came available, I'd probably put a bid in as well. Going back to the previous debate, you can't blame hungry people for snapping at scraps from the table

Someone expressed a frustration, and as I often try and do, I tried to offer an explanation as to why the event was occurring. I've no interest in getting into fights though, and I'd like to think I'm not necessarily the one causing agro. As such, I'm going to clarify my remarks one more time, try and answer the question I'm apparently avoiding, and then drop the subject, with any further comments aimed at me being ignored.I did not mean to imply I was after scraps from the table. When I joined Spurs, I identified the biggest problem I had with the team, namely the strikers. I don't rate Defoe and Ade at all, so was happy to move off Defoe for a decent price and will be happy seeing Ade go for just over his in-game value, despite other 90+ players going for near triple their values. When I joined, I send messages round to several people, putting inquiries in about top strikers and forwards. Most messages came back with "No, sorry, but I couldn't replace him". Some never even got replies, with a few offers sitting there for a week being ignored by managers who logged in at least every second day. Eventually I put in a bid for Hernandez. It was triple his gameworld value, but 1. I needed a striker and 2. I'm a big fan of his, so I paid. I wasn't going to get a bigger striker than him. My second striker is now some kid from Dynamo Kiev who I'd never heard of but am taking a risk on since I read he's in line for big things (talks he is being looked at by Newcastle Stoke AND West Ham today). If there had been two better strikers available (as in ones a tier above Hernandez), I'd have jumped on them. With the other big player I bought, Navas, it was a case of someone coming on here and saying there was a chance they'd part with him. A few people showed interest but I sent messages off and got the deal wrapped up ASAP. Why? Because it was the first and only time since I had joined the gameworld that someone had made signals they'd part with a top level guy with potential to get better. I don't know much about Navas, so in this case, it was scraps in a way. He wasn't even on my list of guys I'd go after.So to clarify, did I need scraps? No, probably not. I took advantage quickly when a scrap dropped off the table, but I wasn't desperately in need of it. Who will need the scraps are the guys who are in lower divisions and working on getting promoted over the next few game years. Guys who won't have 70m to splash on two second tier players and have no hopes of ever landing the big stars of the game. They are the ones who will need to jump at any sign of a bigger playing becoming available and who, if they see a bid is being made, will be tempted to put in bids of their own in the hopes they can land someone decent. They are also the ones who if they see a kid with potential being discussed will try and go after the kid as well. That's the nature of the game; if people are told there's a chance to improve their team, most will want to and a lot will need to. That's, hopefully, the question answered. I apologies to anyone who thinks I was raising tensions or agro on the board.

I have 3 players that are on loan, since before I even joined, and when I click on the team they are loan out to, under the team details it says "Unmanageable" (or something similar) next to manager. One of the teams is Columbus Crew. Penerol is another one, and I can't remember the third.
