The deal from the club bidding on him fell through. There were no other bidders so he was available for an unmanaged team so that a totally new list appears with the next scouting window.
Richard, I have an objection. The 1st Real Madrid bid was for Cicero (7m.) and the second for Larley (3.) If you had completed the deal in strict order I would have had a "live bid" in for Larley at 2.5m. Both players would have been sold to genuine bidders. I have dipped out. Tezza.
I have to say that if what Tezza says is right, then it seems extremely unfair that an unmanaged team can get a player, simply because they are unmanaged, when a genuine bid surely should stand. And if you dont want them on the next bid list, just remove them from the next bid list. And how do you decide which unmanaged team does get the player anyway?
