The "player monitoring/shortlisting" feature can be expanded so that managers/owners of monitored/scouted players not posted on the transfer list can be made privy of interested managers (i.e., the amount and even names). With that information, the manager of the player garnering attention could (1) begin negotiations for starting/asking transfer price, best listing time, etc.; (2) sell that player once they feel like enough managers have "shortlisted" that player; and/or (3) share skills and flags informing potential buyers. (For interested buyers, when/if option #3 is taken, they can view their intended target in the player monitoring window--again, before the player has been posted on the transfer market.) For example, I might reveal the skills and flags (with the intention of selling) for my top prospect Scott Nelson if I saw that, say, 10 to 15 or so managers were monitoring him. (I probably wouldn't do so for Nelson but maybe another midfielder. [:D]) Alternatively, if a manager is still not interested in selling maybe they could express it using a variant of the current private notes feature--one viewable by the public and accessible by all members, club or not.The "player monitoring/shortlisting" feature can be expanded so that managers/owners of monitored/scouted players not posted on the transfer list can be made privy of interested managers (i.e., the amount and even names).

All my players flags and balls are visible to anyone who wants to see them. None are for sale, but I don't mind others knowing what I've got. Occasionally someone messages me with an interest in buying a player, it's always for an established player in the prime of their career or a high quality 21-22 year old that unless they are willing to pay top price for I wouldn't sell, sadly no one has ever offered me enough for a sale to be worth it. I was offered 10,000,000 AUD plus for Bundy age 21, but there not chance in hell I'd sell him for any price before he's taken me to a couple of a-League titles. After that happens and I'm selling off older players in a rebuild I might sell him. But until then, not a chance.All my players flags and balls are visible to anyone who wants to see them.
