    Football Manager - What is your stupidest FM transfer story?

    What is your stupidest FM transfer story?

    Posted: 24 Mar 2021 05:08 AM PDT

    I'll go first. Happen to me on my recent save with Chelsea where after offloading half my high wage mediocre ability defence I was trying to sign Joules Kounde. I displayed interest in him half way through my first season, kept attending his games, praising him in the media, basically being a massive dickhead intent on unsettling this young black man who is great with balls at this feet. Joules goes from somewhat interested in playing for a 40 year old bald-man to the will-he won't-he territory. I know he wants me.

    Come summer I declare him my top target and get Thiago Silva (his idol) to praise the shit out of him and play the honey trap to get this young frenchman to London. Allegri (Sevilla manager somehow? Julian, I though things were finally going well?) really fucking hates me at this point of time. Sevilla won't even sell me any of their other players. Like a divorced couple, they refuse to let me see their kids. It's the EUROs in the summer and Kounde now wants me like a bear wants honey, he even admits it in the media. I ask his agent about his valuation at this point its 73 million. Okay let's get real, 70 million + 10 mil in incentives. Rejected. Now worries, its probably because pathetic Allegri has a hate boner for me, okay 70mil + 20 mil incentives. Rejected. Now I'm starting to get pissed, I look for other players, but the gap this young black man with 5 star potential has created in my heart is too massive. Okay Sevilla need a left back. 70mil + 20 mil incentives + Alonso. Rejected.

    I keep this charade on for three whole months, I refuse to budge, I need this man. Jules want it too, he's gone as far as to submit a transfer request. We're all the media can talk about. I can't back down, 70 mil + 27 mil in incentives + Emerson (I decided to retrain Alonso as a strike for some reason). Accepted.

    I couldn't believe it. It was finally happening. Jules and I were finally going to be together. We were gonna win the premier league. We were gonna get revenge on PSG for trashing us 9-2 in the champions league semi-final. Jules knows French, he could probably wage mental warfare on them. But alas, great love stories are not meant to happen. Looks like Roman thinks we're overpaying for Jules. I can't accept this. "Roman" I say, "I need this transfer to meet the goals the board has outlined for me." He rejects it. "We don't believe this player's valuation exceeds 73 Euro millions, and thus refuse to sanction this transfer." Did this man not hear me mention Jules is French? Okay, I need to raise the stakes. "Roman, if the board refuses to sanction this transfer I'm afraid I will be unable to continue my job at this club." Roman sees my great sacrifice, it fills his eyes with tears. He's human after all. "Go get him" he says as he signs me a check for the transfer.

    This is it, Jules we can finally talk. I'll make you my starter. 10 mil sining bonus. 5 years with 15% wage rise. I'll make you the richest player at the club. Let's negotiate a contract!

    "My client does not want to discuss terms with your club as he has already made a decision to join Real Madrid."

    What? This can't be happening. I need more details, I refuse to accept this reality. 'Real Madrid agree deal 73 million Euros deal with Sevilla'. 73? Seventy-fucking-three? I need to do something, anything to stop this transfer. But its too late. Jules is gone, he's joining them this January. Fine, maybe I can convince you to join me in the future. I click Jules' contract, looks like it hasn't updated yet, still the Sevilla contract. Then I see it. It was there all along wasn't it. That unholy number. Somehow my scouts didn't care to mention it. Why do I even pay them? But I could see it now. It was the only thing I could see.

    Release Clause: €73 Million

    Fm is so realistic. No one wants to shake hands during the pandemic

    Anybody else play with Google Earth while they play?

    Posted: 24 Mar 2021 05:04 PM PDT

    So, I do this thing my wife thinks is "weird." (I mean, she thinks Madden is "weird." She thinks this game is "bizarre" and this thing I'm about to describe as straight up incomprehensible).

    So, on match day, I Google Earth the stadium I'm playing in (home or away) and have that up on my phone as I actually play the game. *I* think it's super fun. Just Zooming around to all these European towns I'll never see in real life. And then when you occasionally go to San Siro or Stamford Bridge for a big match, it feels *super* important. Like your boys are really *going* somewhere.

    I dunno. Just feels like a nice little addition to the "life of the mind" that this game inspires. But, like I said, my wife thinks this is World of Warcraft level "it's just a VIDEO GAME, what are you DOING" crazy.

    The best/worst thing is, I feel like I am only just starting to understand how to play the game!

    Finally. The year is 2031 : PSG has beaten me every final (3 Champions League & 1 Europa League), the only finals they played. This year Bologna breaks the spell, we won our second Champions League !!! Never felt so relieved guys !

    A returning FM veteran in desperate need of help...

    Posted: 24 Mar 2021 01:15 PM PDT

    Hi folks, always remember the FM community being a bunch of absolute heroes and hoping that will prove to be the case still...

    I'm a bloke of a certain age who has, historically, spent an ungodly amount of hours playing Champ Man and FM back in the day. CM 01/02 in particular was my personal peak. I haven't played since FM 2014 though.

    I somehow avoided the temptation during the initial lockdown. God knows how. But last night I took the plunge and fired up the laptop and bought FM 2021. I was absolutely buzzing with anticipation but within 10-15 minutes I had to close it down as I was absolutely overwhelmed at how much is involved in it now.

    I desperately want to invest some time into getting back into it but was hoping for a bit of support in doing so. Moral support I think, more than anything else. I've read FM Touch is a 'lite' version of the game and might be a worthwhile shout but I don't want to under commit to it while wanting to things to be a little simpler.

    The whole set up was overwhelming and seemed too much to me. Is it worth persisting with and does it get easier? I was always a hands on manager back in the day, but now with body language stuff, throwing water bottles, raising arms etc it just seems too much.

    Would love for a little inspiration. Encouragement. Any tips or advice. An 'easy' club to get started with to learn the ropes before a proper long termer. I'm desperate to rekindle my love for the game but could really do with a little moral support guys, if you have the time.

    Thanks in advance ♥

    Your average Europa League Match

    Posted: 24 Mar 2021 11:44 AM PDT

    Just got a message from a pal of mine that simply says “I got FM’d hard...” - a moment’s silence please.

    Posted: 24 Mar 2021 10:32 AM PDT

    Who was your most memorable transfer in all FM’s and why?

    Posted: 24 Mar 2021 11:20 AM PDT

    I'll go first. I didn't used to play FM when I was little so I started at FM 17. At FM 18 as I'm a Turkish BeÅŸiktaÅŸ fan I took control of BeÅŸiktaÅŸ and we needed a striker at that time. So I dig in transfer market, look for loan options as I only had about 3m euro budget left. Then I saw him. My love till this age. "ALEXANDER ISAK" I brought him on loan expecting for him to be a good sub option. But this bastard came out in his first game, getting past every defender with off-ball runs, scoring a perfect hattrick and carrying us 3-1 that game. He's gone to score 27 in 34 league matches. Carrying us to league championship and leaving at the end of the year as a club hero. A story to tell for ages...
