IDEA: First Impression Effect with regard to Transfers

The "First Impression" effect could also occur when a player is placed on the transfer list (obviously this would be a negative effect on TPI) to further deter Daytrading.

Pros:

1. Daytrading is unrealistic and this works to combat it.
2. If a player asks for a trade in real life, that's going to be his first impression with the fans. They're not going to wait to find out if he's good on the field or not if he's already asking for a trade.

Cons:

1. Not everyone that relists a player before the player plays their first match is a daytrader. Some people just decide that they can't finance the player. Should we punish them?
2. We already have a TPI drop after the transfer has occured for players, do we really need to have an additional one when the player is listed?
