Not convinced the asset system does actually work.

 

I can't see anyone paying a transfer fee for anyone in the current financial climate, unless it's a few hundred pounds.

 

But Cookie and Max Fricke as a pair should have had a decent value!!

Somebody has to own a rider. It makes sense to own a rider and save a loan fee, and also be in a position to get a loan fee if he is not in your team. Remember, apart from the reasons i have just stated, each club is required to own assets to a certain value, and if you don't, the difference between the actual value and the bond value has to be paid as a bond. Far better to have a rider of that value, and get loan fees if you are not using them.

It would save a lot of hassle if riders were only tied to a club for the length of their contract at said club though. Not sure how the system works in Poland for example but I'd imagine that riders are free to do as they please once their contracts are up over there?

 

Didn't realise the bit about clubs having to own riders to a specific value, surely this is partly responsible for clubs bring overseas riders in on assessed averages just to meet said criteria?

If Cooks worth 40k then Coventry should be selling AJ and Nicholls for a combined 100k :D

If Edinburgh want £40K for Cook then someone needs to get the West Lothian police drug squad round to the Scotwasted Monarchs stadium pronto.

Not really, but if the bond for that promotion is say £30K, and the assets value is £20k, then £10K is needed to complete the bond value. It would pay to have an asset to either save a loan fee, or create a loan income.
