What sort of quality were they and how many tokens did you bid?.
The bid being accepted is the big question, if the club are still challenging for honor's there hardly going to let players go for a few tokens.
Perhaps more chance now as most trophies are done and dusted, clubs keener to take token now.
It does seem to be a strange set up where everyone within 1 skill of X is put up for negotiation whether you want to sell the player or not.

Answer the first line then we'll leave it as we really should be in the other topic.
