Selling team wage contribution
This is something I've not been able to get my head around. I understand that teams that are from lower leagues or have financial problems will try to make me pay up part of the players wage. But every single club that tries to sign a player from me does this.
Premier league clubs like Everton, Newcastle, Sunderland etc have more than enough cash, yet they try this every time. Also, it is always non-negotiable.
Anyone else having this issue?

I'm a Newcastle fan and play with them all the time and in their defence, Mike Ashley is a tight f**ker. I know in the real world we made £35m profit on transfers and we have a balance of £85m but my budget is £5m and I have about 80k wages to work with.
When you couple that with our wage bill compared to other championship clubs.
Playing with Newcastle is a double-edged sword this season. They expectations are high and the squad is assumed good enough but the reality is, we have 50 midfielders and struggle for quality. I've had a rough few months and find myself 3rd at the end of September and don't know my best 11 yet.
Anyways, the TL:DR version,
Some premiership clubs have to pay over the odds to get players in, so when they decide the player hasn't worked out and try to shift them on, their wage is too high for any 'average' team's wage structure. I can't pay more than £45k for a key player.
I tried to buy Sweinstieger from United and he wanted £250k p/w :D
