He is probably referring to automatic rejection of bids, which were idle for 15days.
No, yesterday I put in a bid for a player, today it was rejected.

No. Why was yours rejected?
Well, from the looks of things, one of the players who I was using to exchange's value somehow magically dropped by £1 million over night... so the bid was no longer worth what it was 24 hours ago, but I can't remember such a scenario ever happening to anyone on here before.

To say I'm a bit irked by it is an understatement.

And by magically do you mean it was his birthday and he aged a year hence the drop of value?

Have you signed anyone else since? Player's values drop as you buy more players in their position etc.

Nope, I put in bids for 4 players, 3 were accepted, that one was rejected.

No, his birthday is in September

One of the player from that team must have departed before your bid was accepted.
Well I can bid on that player again today, so I don't think it's that.

Check whether that team had a new player joined in at the same position to one where your swapped player would play, hence the valuation of your player decreased.

It doesn't look like the have. The players exchange value has dropped when I try to exchange him with any other club now as well... I mean, they were over-valuing him by a fair whack previously, but that's happened to players I've used before and it was never a problem.

Just seems like a freak occurance where the CPU woke up and thought... feck, I can't accept this valuation for this player, reject this bid! Just annoyed that it's happened to me!

Obviously the player has nudged the management and told them he doesn't want to play in front of 4 people every other week.

Can't blame him.

Been doing some wheeler dealing...

Out go - 87GK, 88 RB, 83 CB, 80, LB, 77, Wing 75 LB,

In come

Muslera (89 GK), Uchida (88 RB), Dawson (89 CB), Guarin (89 CM) and Marveux (88 Wing)

I'm now hoping for an up turn in fortunes.

Ok, so after going on a winning run about a month ago, I now can't even score a goal with an unchanged team and same tactics. This game certainly is somewhat random :lol:

Even i got 0 credits. This is stupid.

Also, cider is back. Cider, why are you not loaning that forward? Only some games are left and he doesn't even feature in your squad.
I rejected your loan bid yesterday; putting another one in today has pissed me off.

I don't know where you're getting your stats from; Belhanda has played in almost every game since I signed him.

I don't know. The offer was a decent one but at the moment he's my first choice RB and while Yarmolenko's been out with injury he's been having to play on the wing due to lack of options.
You have him listed as available, I'd assumed he was surplus to requirements.

Would another £2m seal the deal?

edit.
If my chairman will allow it.

Around a month ago I was open to offers for my players to try and finance other deals so I made all of my players available but forgot to change their transfer statuses again after my business was complete.

As for the cash... probably not. The cash would be very much appreciated but at the moment I think Piszczek is one of the most important players in my squad and one that will be hard to replace or let go. Thanks for the offers though and sorry for misleading you with the transfer status.

Final offer then: Luc Castaignos + Markus Henriksen for Piszczek.

Yup. Sounds like what I experienced about a month back. Only person that has been consistant throughout is Damien I think.

The game's not random, it's more a kind of tactical paper/scissor/stone arms-race. If you're using the same tactics as you were a month ago then you're out of date.
