FM question

[Crapshoot]

For some reason, I can't seem to withdraw offers to players who I've agreed to sign on Bosman transfers at the end of the season - its feb 1st, and I can withdraw offers from players I'm buying at the end of the season. Is this something put in on purpose for Bosman's only ?

They are two different things. When you make a Bosman offer to a guy and he accepts it, it becomes a binding contract. If you make an offer to buy a player, it is not final until both the team and the player agree to it. Once they agree to it, and you confirm, it becomes binding as well.

Yeah, I know that generally speaking- but in FM, you were usually able to withdraw bosman offers previously agreed to - perhaps this is a change in the new patch. I'm talking specifically about Bosman players- where you could withdraw the offer at a later date.

If so, it would seem to have been a bug that was fixed. It would seem that once you sign a contract, it should be binding.

It was fixed in one of the patches.

admittedly a loophole - I didnt catch that, and now I'm stuck signing a player I dont need anymore. damnit!

[DaddyTorgo]

you can always sell him on. or loan him out. although that runs the risk of pissing people off on your team

It looks like Russians can now play in the EU.

I noticed this too the other day. I had always been able to take the offer off the table at the last second in previous versions if I decided I didn't need the player I'd signed on a Bosman. It doesn't seem like this is possible anymore.
