Wake Help?

I cant offer anyone over 10k wages, I have a 750k remaining wage budget?

Might be the player status set, otherwise I don't know.

possibly your team reputation/league too... a conference team with a billion pounds still won't be able to sign CR7 with his wage demands... alternative action is to set the wage to max and use the appearance bonus to bump it up after 1 match... or use the appearance fee to add extra on top of the 10k?
