Also you sign old players who offer little to your team on high wages. When they bring Financial Fair Play into Football Manager, I fear you may stop playing because you are treating the game like it is FIFA. If you want to sign players for ridiculous amounts of money and pay them ridiculous amounts of money while running your club into severe debt you might be better off playing FIFA young Daniel.
On about the England caps, I was desperate to keep Rooney so would have offered just about anything, and Derby were being knob heads over negotiating for Hughes.
I know when I can't afford to get a player. I was after Torres but he was having none of it.
53k is still a lot of money to pay a player. For a club to be sustainable in the Premier League in FM (ie not lose a ridiculous amount of money every season) you need to be aiming to have your wages at around £600k. However once you start to consistently get into the Top 4 and challenge for higher honours in the EPL and Europe you can start to increase that to perhaps £700k.
