The problem with the reserve rotting ploy is that the only party affected negatively is the team with the unhappy player.

- Unhappy player gets paid lots of money to train with kids and not work very hard. (WIN)
- Buying team either gets him for free when his contract expires or at worst gets a massive discount on the fee once the unhappy player has spent 6 months without 1st team football. (Massive WIN)
- Selling team loses value in asset, team moral is affected by player not being in team, you also lose the positive influence on results that unhappy player would bring. (LOSE)
Agree but after the shit weve been through. Players can perform or **** off. Would love to keep Hazard but he leaves for our price
