I do not recall. Does it matter? If I did not have free spots, I made them available within a few hours. I think I had frees posts. Are you saying if I had two free spots, but bought three players, the two who got signed immediately had their salary adjusted, and the one who had to sit unsigned for a while did not?
That's what I was thinking, but they are all of the same age and the same level. How do you picture players A and B being born at Q44 (say) with salary of 40K, training up to Q49 within their first contract, being sold to me and having their salary adjusted to 300K and the player C being generated at Q49 also with a salary of 40K? Isn't initial salary pretty much determined by the initial Q? It may not be a one-to-one but how can it be off by a factor of 8?
