Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3099891, member: 1769"] you can't force players to want to play for you, it is as simple as that ... and no matter what system is in place, there will be team some players won't go to ... IMO, the premise of this article is flawed ... he talks about going after players that would be a quick fix for these bottom 8 teams, but for some teams (like the Titans) a quick fix is not realistic... They shouldn't be throwing money at the elite of the game and hope they can pull the club out of the mess they are in ... the problems with doing this is that you'll only really attract the mercenary type players that will jump ship the second you don't significantly outbid the competition and you can't build a clubs culture with those sorts of players ... it will also leave you short of funds to fill the other position you desperately need to fill. the solution isn't to go for the quick fix, it is a longer term proposition ... go out and throw money at the best recruiters in the game ... have them search high and low for players talent rookies and give them a shot (i'm talking about who Arrow/Mitchell were several years ago) ... then use a money ball style system to surround them with under-valued veterans who can help lead these young kids and build/re-build the clubs culture ... you won't win a comp this way, but you will transform your team into one that elite players want to play for and won't ask you to pay massive overs to get them [/QUOTE]
