The Master League transfer process has changed since PES 2008 - now when you submit an offer to a club to buy a player you will find out instantly whether the club has accepted your bid or not.  Each time you submit an offer, it counts as one of your maximum five offers for the week.  If the club accepts your offer, you then have to wait til the next week to find out whether the player himself has accepted the personal terms.

This change to the transfer process means you can make offers on alternative players after being turned down on your first choice player without having to go through to next week.  This makes you always in control of what players you are bidding on when you process a new week.

So here are our tips on getting good transfers on PES 2009.

• Player popularity - If a player you are bidding on has a higher popularity class (A-D) than your team, you have little chance in signing him unless you a much higher bid than what the club are asking for.  If the player is not with a club, you will need to offer to pay him around 50%+ than what he is asking for if you stand any chance in signing him.
• Timing - If you bid for a player in the final two weeks of the transfer period, the clubs are more likley to sell as they will no know that it is their last chance to get any money for the player.  However, waiting until the final couple of weeks for the player means that you risk another club getting him.
• Bid higher! - If you are having trouble signing a player, think about how beneficial to your club he will be.  If you really think he’ll be a major asset to your team, then why not stretch your budget and bid a few thousand points more than the asking price - remember if he helps you get good results then you wil earn that cash back through match bonuses.
• Trade - Look for players whose clubs are willing to accept a traded player as part of the player purchase.  Trading your players means you do not need to part with too much of your club’s cash, and means you can off-load players that normally wouldn’t be bought up.
• Save before you bid - Okay some may see  this as cheating, but I always save a game save at the  start of the transfer period , and then every time before I progress to the next week.  This way if you get to the end of the transfer period, play your first game and realise you bought the wrong players you can go back and do it all over again.  Also, if you progress to the next week and your bid gets refused, then you can just load up your latest game save and try again.
