So a couple of days ago i put a bid in for a player on Fast ticker, offered a wage over what the player asked for but the transfer is still dragging on and not completing. Ive never experienced this before and normally a transfer is completed once the game moves forward a tick unless u need to increase the wage in which case the transfer is completed after the next tick.

Is this a bug cos it seems like the transfer has become stuck.

Is the player on the transferlist?

No but ive bought players who arent on the transfer list before and the transfer has been concluded on the next tick. Two days have passed now and the transfer appears to be in limbo, neither accepted or declined.

What is his morale status? Is he already critical?

The only way to buy a player is if the player is transfer listed

If bid for a non-listed player the only way the transaction is completed is if the player’s morale becomes Critical (usually only happens if you bid for a player with Bad morale), in which case the player will be listed anyway after the bid is accepted (and usually for 2x his Estimated Value)

Also, a bid is never declined. Unless the targeted player has his contract renewed, the bid will just sit there (hurting the targeted player’s morale, and beware, also your own players’ morale…)

The players morale is stated as Bad. Like i said, ive bought players who arent listed before and had no problem, however with this player nothing is happening.

You will not be able to buy him unless his morale becomes Critical

When, and if, that happens the player will be transfer listed automatically

Fabio’s explanation is correct. Maybe in the past your bid was enough to make the player’s morale go to critical, so he was transfer listed automatically and you were able to buy him. This time around your bid was only enough to bring his morale to bad, so he won’t go to the transfer list and the transfer is not completed.

You can keep your bid there in the hopes he is transfer listed in the future (or if another bid comes in and forces his morale into Critical), but be mindful of your own player’s morale as they are affected by your bid as well. If the player is owned by a human managed team it will be up to the manager to transfer list him even if his morale goes to Critical, but if the manager does not transfer list him he will also not be able to renew his contract.

I dropped the transfer and gave up lol. Maybe he’ll end up on the transfer list in the future.
