Strange bidding, can anyone explain?

Maybe he is planning to sell a higher quality player who is old and slow or a poor performer?

The new player wouldn't show in his team if he already had every spot taken - he would be given 7 days from winning the auction to make room for him. It could well be a case that the player appears in his team once another player is sold and then that player may be power trained to get up to the standard needed for the team.

The player did appear in his team, but a few minutes later was gone. Sold or sacked as there wasn't enough time for an auction.

Don't think he was sacked. Name changed and then powertrained or used personal trainer on him are the two most likely possibilities
