Hi

Noticed, on a few occasions players that have just signed at the start of the game e.g Altidore of Sunderland can be bought, club happy to accept an offer and player happy to move; this wouldn't happen though, no? Previous versions, the player/club would reject any such proposition, its against the rules anyway no?

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Jamie

Happens in real life too, but rarely. Demichelis to City and Bébé to United spring to mind.

Yeah, it does happen in real life from time to time. If the buying club has a much higher rep than the one the player just moved to it's realistic.

It does happen from time to time. Not always necessarily to a club with a higher rep though, an example is John Obi Mikel. He initially signed for Manchester United when he arrived in the Prem from Lyn Oslo, and he was sold to Chelsea before the ink had even dried on his contract.

Can argue Manchester United are a bigger club than Chelsea.. (up for debate though)

I think if a player signs for a new team in-game, rarely do they move again in the same transfer window. Maybe that happened with Altidore etc, because he had just signed in real life and was already at Sunderland when you started your saved game.
