Italian Co-Ownership

[Raoul Duke]

I'm Juve in my second season, won Serie B without too much problem.

One thing that's getting on my tits are frequent offers to co-own my players. It's pretty much happening every couple of days (always for the same players; Chiellini, Balzaretti and Palladino) and always from the same club (Inter) although Milan sometimes join in the fun...

Is their any way to stop it? I've tried putting "reject all offers" and setting their asking prices to £50m but they always just bid half of their current value. Is this a bug? I've patched the game with the offical update.


:moop:

No, it's not a bug. It's very common.

If you're a "smaller club" and have good players in Italy then quite often the big guns will come and make offers to co-own them. Personally I find it extremely useful as it gives you a lump sum of cash and you can retain the player. More often than not, unless the kid sets the world alight, then the Inters of this world won't bid too heavily to buy him out right so it works out well.

Play with it a bit and you'll soon get the hang on using it to your advantage!

It's not that, it's the continual, repetitive, asking. Every. Single. Week.

They're testing your resolve. ;)

Are you short of cash?

I'm not exactly loaded but I'm not poor either. They're only offering half their actual value rather than their asking prices which is the irritating thing. Palladino could "become a club legend" according to my Assistant Manager so I'm not gonna let him go to Inter for £3.6m...
