I then lost him on a free the next year because I didn't know he could talk to other teams while still on a contract with me. Play with rich teams at first so you have money to play around with. Any questions you have, just ask. Don't feel like your question is too basic or "stupid". Someone here will help.

That's reminded me of the first time I've played a soccer sim game. It was Championship Manager 2001/2002 and Leeds had probably the best young squad on the game and a bunch of money. I was probably around 11 or 12 when I played this. The result? I finished 17th, winning on the last day to stay up. I was so proud.

Teams like Man City, Barcelona, Real Madrid are probably your good starting points. Good players and enough money to test the transfer market.
