A star player requested to leave. Do I have to do it?

[thbends]

So my Machester City team is having a great year despite Mario missing 4 months. Then one of my star players asks me to let him leave out of the blue. I need him.

Do I have to sell or trade him OR can I keep him?

If I keep him what are the negative effects?

your board will probably sell him, or he might change his mind. either way try to find a replacement.

Is this during a transfer period or just regular game time? BIG difference

It's up in the air, really. If you really, really need him I'd hang onto him and hope for the best.

It's a transfer time.

If Mario was healthy I might jump at it... But right now I like bringing Mario in around the 55th minute.

Try to make a contract offer to him. But you must act, because the board will take over and shoot themselves in the foot.

That sounds good. I do have money to spend. I'll see if I can convince him to stay.

Seems so random though. He was Very Happy with the team. We came off a win and he even scored in it.

They often throw random storyline events in to mix things up. When going through and offering a large amount of players new contracts it isn't uncommon for one of my more active players to refuse. The fix for that is to offer them more money than recommended.

Another time I started seeing headlines about how my midfield was in terrible condition. Shortly after that, I got a message from the board saying I need a new midfield and they'd help me pay for it if I needed the help. Of course, my power went out, sending me back a week or so before that, and the board never made any contact to me about my midfield, nor did I see any headlines about it.
