Yeah, I've learnt about wasting tokens the hard way. With my previous team, I was bidding for a 19yo 5* goalie and was in a bidding war with another manager. Despite the manager not having enough money, they were able to continue bidding and eventually I lost the bid and wasted 40T, which for myself farming the tokens was a fair amount lost for nothing. It was partially due to this that I looked towards negotiations as if you spend the tokens, you either got the player if accepted or got the tokens back.
