I have a suggestion about the way transfers are handled. I'm sure other managers have become frustrated with this, but I think it would be a good to set a maximum you want to offer for a cyclist so that when somebody else bids on the cyclist you want, his bid is compared with what you are willing to offer.
This system would work like e-bay auctions.
As a side-effect this would also make it a bit harder for managers to buy back the cyclists they are offering up for sale.
Thoughts? Flames?

If you want to buy the cyclist and you are willing to pay a so-called "maximum bid" for him, why don't you just set the "maximum bid" when you are not able to be online during his deadline ?!

How will it make people angry? Those who have enough time to keep refreshing the players they're bidding on will lose their 'advantage' of having no life?
Although they have some entitlement to an advantage because of that, it's quite unfair that I can't at least set in a range to bid on cyclists because I don't have any time to keep doing that. Especially for those bids ending at 4 in the night.
Bidding with your maximum isn't realistic either and too dependant on other circumstances.
If there 4 cyclists you are bidding on and you have set yourself a limit of about 250k, you might want to set a reserve of 65k for each, and as you that you are losing one bid, increase that 80k, and so forth.
At the moment the situation is that I don't need to bother bidding on players that have an ending time that I can't be around at. (This morning I was in luck that at the end of one cyclist I was bidding on, coincided with a quiet peak at work, but I would much prefer it if I didn't have to log in from there to be able to buy a cyclist.)

And how will your ebay-bidding solve this problem then  |

Hm, I'm suffering from bad grammar when I'm writing late.
The original problem I'm pointing at with this suggestion, is the fact that you need to be online at the time of closing for bids to get most cyclists.
By implementing a system that makes sure that you can automaticly up the ante to 54k for a cyclist that you are making the first bid for at 5000, you eliminate this need to be online constantly to buy cyclists.
The remark you are quoting is in response to the "bid with maximum first go" alternative to this problem.
