    I ave this cash you mention, .... i'd love mexican take away ....

    And will be happy to take your cash as soon as I get anyway decent of a replacement in :)

    Only one avenue still open by the looks of it though :/ I think I've either bid or asked about every attractive 90 rated striker round 25 years of age :(

    The worst thing is that some people don't even answer you :( or they leave your bid hanging, you may have rejected mine but at least it was quick so I knew where I stood

    Mac asked me to draw up some rules/guidelines (that I have sent on to him for review) and leaving managers hanging is part of it ;)


    Probably won't improve any response times but at least managers will be made aware of the issue, it is THE worst part of the gameworld, especially with 77 or so managed clubs, if some are not getting back it can really stall the gameworld :(

    yeah, it would be very hard to enforce though -I mean how could you 'punish' someone who doesn't abide to the deadline?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,994 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I always try and answer back asap. Sometimes I leave people hanging if I'm genuinely considering an offer or deal, and I'll admit once or twice I've then let it slip through my mind that I forgot.

    I also tend to try and outline thought processes on here, though maybe to a fault sometimes :D

    Yeah, its pretty much un-punishable but at least its out there for all managers to see, its not much but its better than nothing ;)

    Anyone willing to selling me a young 88/89 even 90 striker for cash......?

    Been trauling through some teams but though I'd ask before bidding anymore. Had a few max bids rejected by some already, so just wondering if anyone's selling...

    Also no p/e counters please if i do bid, not this time anyway.

    Tevez would have gone but I could never rangle the other half of what I needed and some players offered where great.

    At this stage, I've got 30m, Hernandez, Turan, Honda and/or Goretzka who I'd add into the mix if it was for an upgrade on Hernandez.

    (Not saying any are for sale without a striker being involved though, and don't want to sell any unless it's for an upgraded striker).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 244 ✭✭Rebel_Kn1ght


    I have 2 young 88 strikers. Destro and Mitroglou. Destro is going nowhere but I'd let the other go but only for a young 86-87 and cash. When I say young I mean under 24


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,953 ✭✭✭JamboMac


    Hernandez + vertongen= Tevez

    Which would leave a nice hole in my back line sadly....

    A few people have now asked about Vertongen. As usual, would sell if I thought I could get a replacement in :/

    I know it's merrygoround everybody is willing to sell but want replacement which is impossible, so it leaves everything in limbo.

    Swoody, you have a PM on SM


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,953 ✭✭✭JamboMac


    Anybody understand how the attendances are decided coz some of them are just shocking

    Club attendances work as described below:
    Clubs that get promoted will have their attendances increase towards the average of the new division.
    Clubs that get relegated will have their attendances decrease towards the average of the new division.
    Promoted clubs will have their stadiums gradually built bigger, towards the average attendance of the new division (see Stadium Building).
    More fans will come as you tend towards the top of the league, and less fans will come when you tend towards the bottom of the league.

    'Stadium Building' is a feature in which your current stadium capacity is increased if your Chairman believes their club currently do not have an adequate sized stadium to compete successfully within its current division.

    The average of the the second division would see me lose fans as it seems very low.
