I'm currently trying to find an outside player, the one Joe put on the transfer list is too old for me but 4M is a good price, I don't think it's too expensive. (maybe not 4M but surely > 3M)

And I've got an outside player of the same age, little less stronger than Wan but with a low-cost salary. TPE say btwn 1,4M & 1,6M! Funny!

This kind of low-cost salary player is undervalued now by TPE. But I know I will never find those kind of player with that age for less than 2 Millions.

Oh and Q has sold Carlos Dito, not much stronger, maybe even less strong (only Q can answer) but 34 year old for 1.7M!!! And my player, 4 year less deserves only 2M? Joke!!!

Dito had more passing but less inside skills. I agree with Joe, he bought WWC 4.2m at the end of May this year and is only 30 so i dont see any reason why Joe would stand a single chance to get fined. And I agree with Dartreb and mplume, I wouldn't pay 4m for him (nor would I have bought Dito at age 34 for 1.7m) Unfortunately we have to suck it up cause that's the reality of the market.

It's a fact: a lot of teams have a lot of money, but no player to buy. The problem is not especially the level of the players on the maket, but the number of them.

Agreed - that's in fact the point I stated earlier this week:

The simple fact that there are less managers means there are less players trained and it then becomes the normal law of supply and demand on the market.

Indeed, like a snake eating its own tail, less managers => less good trained players => increased prices => less motivation ...

Why less motivations?

Guys what you don't understand it's that inflation is good for those who play in top division with high TV revenues.

Try to put yourself in the skin of a new team. Think about it few seconds. To build a top team with a good stadium, is it faster when the cost of the player is low or high?

Few seasons ago, I got a plan, earn 12 millions and then win the BBBL. In my initial plan, I would had been champion of BBBL last season. With inflation, I was only trying to promote in BBBL! I've earned way more than 12M, and I'm not even sure to be champion one day!

Trust me, inflation is good for you (and now I can say for us because I'm part of the top league). Maybe it's now difficult to renew our team but in same time, it's far more difficult to build a top team from nothing.

And I'm not complaining too much because I was able to build two consecutives good trainers at an affordable price. Now those times are past and so you can't anymore train 2 players during 10 seasons for cheap (which reduced the cost of building a top-team)...

You can also take it the other way round :

high prices favour the teams training players with the purpose of selling them.

1) Training is made much more easier in lower divisions. This is pretty self-explanatory, I won't explain further.

2) Replacing a player in a top division means you basically need a top player, thus extremely expensive, whereas a lower recruit aht the thirs of the price would be enough in D.2

3) Training slots are scarce in BBBL because you have to win games in order to stay in BBBL. Meaning you sometimes have to let a spot slip, thus making training much worse than it would be.

4) Some teams aiming at trophies don't even train at all and train GS all season long.

The plan you're talking about, you weren't the only one thinking about. It doesn't work. You have to find another way to success. That's what Joe did, Amenra also, and probably this season Nat.

I am training player,s I've always been. And although I should "rejoice" at these crazy prices, I'm not.

Yeah I reckon it's frustrating for experienced managers who wants to renew their teams.

But if they are so few good players on TL, in the end, the level of BBBL (and even B3) will decrease over the time. We have to adapt our strategy.

Since this sparked a pretty rough reaction, i'm going to close the debate as following:

You may try to sell the player at any price you desire. The player will be evaluated based upon previous sold players at that current time (lucky sales or not), not 2 seasons ago. All i was willing to give was a friendly warning that you are testing the borders, dont' be surprized if suddenly they decide to push back. I've seen fines for truely unique players (amongst which a player who i never saw on BB before & went for 8M, which later got a price re-adjustment)

it's not because you guy's see the players going for high prices that they don't get re-adjusted afterwards. This will be my final post on that subject, since obvliously it rubs people in the wrong direction. i'll let the other GM' s decide on wheither or not a price adjustment is required or not. anyone i've had regular contact with, is considered to be to familiar to judge upon, hence the decision won't be mine to make. I just wanted to give you guy's a fair warning. Thanks for shooting down the messenger...
