Don't think this is how it works.but let's see what Edgar says
You could still get rid of him at 80 mn if someone is willing to do an exchange.
I think it is. You have to trade players at a profit, otherwise I’d send him back to the bank for 60m as I bought him for 80.
Yes, you are right, just read it. You can still sell him at a loss. No one willing to pay 70m?
Don't think we're allowed to buy off him for a loss - only the bank
I didn’t realize I could sell at a loss. If that’s the case;
No way would Edgar let that IMOYou could still get rid of him at 80 mn if someone is willing to do an exchange.
Example You sell Lahm for 80+10. In return you buy a player from them for their price+10. Example, Neuer , 30+10.
Neither party losses a penny and you free up some funds.
Unless of course EAP suddenly calls it an unfair business
This wouldn’t work for me anyway. I need to raise minimum 100mYou could still get rid of him at 80 mn if someone is willing to do an exchange.

Technically, he can't stop it as its still in the rules, which are a bit difficult to make sense off.No way would Edgar let that IMO
I think edgar said that basically you can't trade him at same value. Profit or loss is allowed IMO
The man was hard done by Edgar, no one would pay 100 millions for him with the likes of Finney available for half the price; while on talent he definitely deserves to be picked (and maybe to star in the draft like this, where the unusual suspects will be brought to light)Been watching Kurt Hamrin today after I stumbled across some literature on his Milan stint.
Instantly reminded me of Mo Salah in his current form and position.
Wish @Edgar Allan Pillow had thought of some discount coupon's with a bonus round or something
Hopefully can get him in one of the next drafts.
Ambitious. Go public on the Redcafe Stock exchange
Yea, 100 mn was too steep.
(If I remember correctly) T.1 - Players can only be sold or traded for profit. i.e. value higher than they were bought
Why not? I don't see anything untoward there, plus highly unlikely that the same guy who wants to buy off you wants to lose their player also.No way would Edgar let that IMO
I really like Lahm but need to be very careful with my funds after NBM. I can’t stretch to that amount of money I’m afraid.
You can sell or trade players for straight cash deals - just the player needs to be sold at a higher value than bought:
For example we can sell De Gea at 40,50, 200m to Real, but we can't sell him at a base price or the price we bought him for.
There isn't money on each of side of the trade - say Player A + cash = Player B + cash.
As good as he is, he doesn't guarantee you a complete shut down of, say, Cristiano or Ronaldinho, nor is he able to single-handedly man the flank like Cafu — and he costs a lot for a right back. I'm a fan, but it's not the best piece of business
Yeah, but that includes 2 players going the other way. The rule is (I think) obviously for different players. In other words you can't separate the deals like that when trying to swap two players, otherwise it's a straight swap and not profit - the balance of each manager will be the same at the end of the trade.
If Bremner and the new nomination go through however you'd be crossing the budget, so essentially you'll have 12 hours to fix the negative balance sheets. Otherwise I think you can freely do so as the list isn't that big...
I did not think of that. Brilliant
More importantly, why would anyone go for Lahm at 90 when you could get Cafu for 80 most likely uncontested at this stage
Lahm is more versatile and could play DM as well, although I already tried that one in one of the recent drafts and it wasn't a raging success by any means...
Bizarre rule, I guess it is done to avoid two people colluding to create a super team. Imagine buying Messi and selling him for 30m.
Dare I say it but whilst he was definitely much better than Alaba's so called ability to play midfield, he has nowhere near enough experience there to warrant being used there especially in the draft context, where he is usually going to come up against the greatest of all time, in their respective positions.
Done mate, edited mine.
Yes.
Naw I'd never risk that because then you or moby or someone saving money could just outbid me and I wouldn't have the funds to outbid. Too risky a tactic for just 10m or 20m potential.BTW, think no one has thought of that yet, but just putting it out there - what happens if onenil for example sells Figueroa to the bank for 120 or 110, can he buy him again then at a base price if he has spare funds?
