The whole transfer negotiations system is a complete waste of time. You should be able to adjust the ratio of money/tokens. But you can only offer tokens if you pay more than the market value. To offer somebody a decent amount of tokens you have to pay waaaaay above the market value. Why would anybody do that? To offer somebody say 10 tokens for a player you'd have to pay out nearly 30 tokens and several million above the market value in cash. At that point, you may as well buy a scout instead. At least then you won't pay more than the market value for the player.

I've just put in a no token offer for a player to see what happens. I'm sure it will get rejected. It's for a position I want, but I checked the players stats and the last 4 games he's scored 5 and picked up a current red card. So it's clear why teh seller is getting rid. But I'll try and sign him to see if I can get him playing well. I've offered market value and no tokens. But I bet the seller doesn't accept the offer. He'll then put the player on the market where he might well get less than market value. So I think my offer is reasonable.
