...this may not be the first time anyone has seen this, but I find when I have a transfer listed player and another team comes in with an offer, it is possible to increase the offer substantially most of the time.
if you try and negotiate it, unless the difference in price is about £100k or so, the other team almost always pulls out...unless you do a part exchange. I usually look at the other teams players and ask for the most expensive player possible in exchange (even if they are worth more than the player I'm selling) - and instead of of offering the player (as the computer rarely does) the cash offer will be much higher.
This is a good way to max out bids - seems to work well with Simon Rodger, I usually get about £1.2m to £1.5m for him, when the original offer was around £700k.

Good idea! although i'm just work my way through players! i tend to buy them cos they're cheap and not bad play them about 4 time and then release them on a free about 3 years later! :(

I very rarely get offers for players anyway and if i do its for players that i dont want to sell

That happened with Harrison for me. I wanted a player in exchange and they doubled their bid to 3.75m so I accepted. He's gone on to be an England regular though :grrr:

Usually Im too eager to accept to risk it though.

I managed to sell 2 players to Italian teams for £100m in my game. I was only running the english league too.

In season 5 i sold Michael Carrick to Inter (after rejecting loads of bids he finally got annoyed) for £50m straight away, and then £50m after 1 international and 1 league appearance. I was England manager too :) The board allowed it, set me up for life that deal!

Then again in season 15 i sold a player called Scott Edwards, DL from Stoke (generated) to Milan for the same. He was annoyed at me rejecting bids so i upped the price thinking they would back down, nope.. in they came so i let him go too. He is a good player but he won't play for England again! hahaha
