(The rest of the players when you click on his team are also just 1 cone away, yet aren't on the negotiations list). Those players then stay on the list until the end of the season. They are 1 cone away from 6 star, yet they never accrue enough training to get that extra cone. I've put bids in several times for his players, yet he never responds to any of the offers - even when I have gone way over the top with the offer.

It just strikes me as odd how non of his players ever hit scout level, yet all are 1 cone away from it. Surely after he plays a game some will be scouts due to experience?

It begs the question on if his account is a dummy one or if it is a real user. If it is a real user then he is playing the game in a really odd manner. Even stranger was that when I was first starting out at level 1/2/3 I often seemed to end up in bidding wars with the same account. I also used to get drawn with his team in the first few levels (not been in a bidding war or been in the same league with him for over a year now).

It's a very odd account and the team name (something silly like Cooch Cooo Cooch) is silly too. Something about him/the account just doesn't feel right.
You have to assign the skill points to the players for them to get better, plus maybe he hasn't played for awhile, it is a good strategy to have players on the negotiations tab so you can try and get coins
