God damn I hate when my chairman overrules me on selling a player, eejit.
Even more annoying when you've got a player lined up and need the funds from that transfer
. Luckily Berlusconi loves me so I get none of that 
!.Henri Saivet must be fully developed now, what's he like? Could you post a screenshot? Don't think I've ever had him reach his PA when I've bought him yet.
I wonder where Accrington will really be when it is 2019!
Far from amazing :|, Mind I only just bought him, as cover tbh, he can slot in on the wings or up front so he's ideal for what I needed, and he only cost me £5M, I wonder what he would've turned out like if I had had him earlier.

It's the first time I have had it, but it was a very promising 21 year old left back. Left backs seem pretty rare in my game too

If you ever find your chairman selling one of your players, try offering the player a new contract. So in effect giving him two contracts to consider. If he's happy where he is and loyal, playing regularly and winning games he might decide to stay with you.
My defence is awesome.
In all comps - played 24 conceded 2.
Only 7 of them should be there really, youth keeper conceded a couple
League is 37 and 6 conceded.
Akinfeev is doing fairly good..

Tried that, but it was to Man City, who have a much bigger budget than me
.He asked for 30k a week, I offered 40, they offered him 52
.He is English too, and when he signed he said he was glad to be back in England.

Got him for 1.6 mil couple seasons back, sold him for 13M, but my club had plenty money, didn't need it at all. Balance was better than it had been for a few seasons. Not too long ago they let me turn down a 31M offer for Marquinhos by Real Madrid.

My balance is around 40M and I have spend about 15M since then. For Rangers thats higher than normal. It usually sits around 25-30M.

Hold him for a few seasons, 22-23 and see what youre offered then. If he blossoms you could make far more than that.
He wants to leave...and i don't play wingers.. he's already a 3-4* player.
Edit: Ok couldn't reject that, just got offered 32.5m over 12 months from Barcelona.

Yep can't blame you there. I always play wingers personally, good money for a youngster though.
He's good, but hes foreign, and i don't play wingers. £24m profit within 6 months, not bad.
Time to sell others too though, gonna get rid of a few older players (already spent £106m on players, so should be ok..)
Edit: another striker (got too many) who i paid £14.75m isn't getting games, so just had a bid of £26.5m over 12 months (again Barcelona!). They're buying all my rejects, woo.
