Transfer Time

[superblue24]

I think I shall be making a substantial loss on Mr Varney, but he's listed for 0 (or £48,000).

Would be nice to recoup some of that £9.5m I spent on him.

Oh dear....9.5M? I'd be surprised if he sells for more than 400K

 

[superblue24]

Just seen how old that post was and that he sold for circa 300k....not a terrible guess!

 

[Davros]

Ouch, only sold Ridgeway for a smidge over £2mil, was hoping for closer to £3m

on the plus side my franchise won their playoff easily enough..

should be able to hold my own in PNG II, especially after my two new transfers in

Paid slightly over odds at 650K and squad wages see me relying on a decent cup run otherwise I can see a sale coming as receipts will be killed due to tough OD league.

Hmmmmm ORM makes a top 10 list. Bought for franchise for 4.5 mill.

[MrB]

Blimey that's some player, does your franchise really need someone of that level?

I figured he was young enough to be around for a long while. I'm in Aus so not the easiest. I will promote in FC this season and figure I could go for OD IV promotion next season. Having just expanded stadium I can afford the wages.

 

[MrB]

Fair enough, though later in the season you could probably pick up three players for £5m total who would all be more than good enough and have a combined wage similar to his. £4.5m for a 26yo is a lot of money and then you have a lot of wages to pay without the member numbers to cover it yet, he earns double my total franchise wagebill!

How much money do you have in the bank to pay his wages?

 

[MrB]

Yep, that's a fair old wage so the price is reflective. You must also bear in mind that he's likely to have been trained this season meaning it will jump further next Friday.

 

[BrettieAngell]

I've got a million in the bank and i've put a 19 yo trainee up for sale which will hopefully cover my *** til the new season starts.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Any sell on value with this chap or just fire?
