Could you not just come up with a realistic figure then? Or maybe in the Southampton case give him around the same wage as Clyne currently has seeing as he is more than likely going to be his replacement? Somthing must be better than how it currently is. A (most probably) starting Premier League right back in a top 10 team thats just been bought only on £4k a week? Should be around £15-25k IMO, Even at £15k its a lot more realistic.

Obviously the database is massive with thousands of transfers but on the occasion where an educated guess could be applied, I think that would be the way to go rather than wages massively out of proportion. Not every tom, dick or harry but the few of you that confirm the transfers. Us users could suggest a wage with the transfer. If you dont know much about the league then fair enough, either take the suggestion, or leave it like you currently do, but for the more well known leagues and transfers I dont think an educated guess would do any harm. Certainly better than having players £15-30k a week (in most cases) away from their probable wage.

Edit: Case in point. The previous post calls for a clause to be removed because its unrealistic to have that clause at his new club. Obviously thats been thought about and agree'd and its going to be removed, which is correct and more than justifyable. Is it not unrealistic for a newly bought Premier League player which has been bought more than likely to start games to only be on £4k a week? Some of their U-21 players that havent kicked a first team ball yet will be on more than that surely?

We can all accept that not everything in the update is going to be spot on. Neither is the official database. But a bit of common sense could be applied a bit more often especially with big things like wages which obviously affect the games for better or worse with regards to budgets. For Southampton its great. Brand new player only on £4k a week so still got £X to play with in the kitty.

So just something to have a think about maybe. KUTGW (Just seen van der Vaart has been dropped to £42k a week. Thats more like it )

I totally see where you are coming from mate, however its not just as simple as putting X player on 15k per week, and the reason is because of the game. Last season the player in question was on a wage of 4k, but in the recent season he's become good enough to get recognition from a Premier League club, so they sign him, the thing is, the player is still going to be the same ability on the game as he were at his old club, because we don't believe in changing CA/PA as its peoples opinion.

I agree that 4k may be unrealistic, but others may not, i'll adjust it to be a few k more, but it won't be anywhere near 15k-20k

Wages also mess with the balance of the game more than people would think.

Jed Wallace's Match Highest Earner clause has carried over from Portsmouth, and is unrealistic now that he's at Wolves.

I will seek to get this removed. Thanks for reporting that.

Does anybody even check the wages these players are gonna be on before they confirm the transfer? Its like all your doing is changing the teams and length of contract and not changing the wages. Some very unrealistic ones in here. Southamptons new right back only on £4k a week? Juanmi only on £10k a week, van der vaart £93k a week?

Not all wages are disclosed when a player is transferred, in this situation we assume the player is on the same wages as before.

To combat this, we can make the game set the wage based on the clubs "average" wage budget by setting the players waye as £0 in our update, neither of the two will be realistic, its just the way it is.

Pointed out by nufc.com that the last time we were at Bramall Lane (November 2009!), Morgan's own goal was the only goal of the game. Is he still playing?

NUFC's list...
July 10th - Gateshead (a)
July 14th - Club Atlas (neutral venue of Milwaukee)
July 18th - Sacramento Republic (a)
July 21st - Portland Timbers 2 (a)
July 26th - Sheffield United (a)
July 29th - York City (a)
August 1st - Borussia Monchengladbach (h)

Might try for Sheffield. As for the US games, its a bit much that NUFC's players complained the last US tour in 2011 (which went Kansas->Orlando->Ohio) required too much travel, and the team has duly booked a tour that is over 1,000 miles longer.

Also worth noting that Sunderland are in the US at the same time as NUFC, and are playing Doncaster on the same day as the York game. Which could make for some interesting meet-ups.

Your game vs us is Chris Morgans testimonial, he retired in 2011 iirc. He should play in it.

He's donating any money generated to three charities, two of them are Sheffield charities but he's also giving money to gary Speeds charity.

Fucking Ecuador, 2-0 down to Bolivia after 18minutes, they get a penalty and Enner Valencia scores it, only for a twat of an Ecuador player running into the box before the penalty was taken, ref orders a retake, Valencia misses, Bolivia go up the other end and make it 3-0 from a penalty of their own.

Its currently half time.
