If your going to be uber short off cash at the start of the season , re-sign them and just flog them when the season starts ... if they have enough positions / ability you should get a bigger price than at the end of season .... i had 200m yesterday .... bought in 4 players. 1 of which was a freebie on 99 ... my purchases took me into -188m , but i had a few player close to next star that i knew i wanted to sell at the start of next season that were out of contract .. i Renewed "before" my new purchases were complete to make sure i had them for the transfer window.
