So today I get an 8 token offer. Yeah! Associations works!
No. The offer is for a 119% player. Boo.
So the bidder is a level higher than me. We've in the same cup and champions league draws over the last few seasons.
I know he's a level higher than me, he knows I'm a level lower than him, he knows that I know that he knows.
So I do him the favour of returning him his tokens straight away. Thanks, but no thanks.
Straight back at me with 13 tokens. Ok. He's serious, but still, no thanks.
Again straight back to me with 20 tokens! Cheers mate, but really, I don't want to sell.
Aaaaaand yet again, a fourth offer inside 2 minutes. But 20 tokens again.
Sorry mate but I wouldn't accept 20 tokens half a minute ago so what do you think will have changed? My player is trained down until the morning so you can now wait for your tokens back.
He would have been paying around 50 tokens to buy my player. 21 years old, 119%. This is almost scout list/recommended players territory. And this is where negotiations breaks down. Any offer after 25ish becomes questionable for the buyer as the number of tokens spent is on a par with scout list/ recommended players. Whilst what could I have bought to replace this player with the 20 tokens I'd have received?
Once upon a time negotiations worked fine for me, but nowadays it's just another token grab from Nordeus. 50%+ opening cut is just too much.
