Thanks PricopGeorgeCătălin for your quick answer. I did not know that either. Auctioned player has now passed and i decided not to bid as 5 players on initial bid interested, finally went for more tokens than i was willing to bid so saved some .

I forgot to mention both auction and negotiation players were same position so i was wanting only one of them. ie I would have been happy with the auction player, so if i had also won the negotiation player and not signed him in that week I would have lost the tokens i bid on him and he would then leave the club Correct?

Great game BTW....My biggest bug bear is the friendly format (both teams need to agree with fixed match before commencing) Hope the people that can come up with something to address this
