Coopvalho Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, or if it already is a part of the game already...I'm just pre-warning you incase I make myself took like an idiot!! I'd like to see a few of the players who are classed as "loyal" return to their first clubs when they get older. Like Di Canio returning to his club even though they were in Serie C1 to try and get them promoted. It happens with players in real life all of the time and it would be an added incentive (and a nice surprise) for the person managing that club to suddenly recieve a world class player who may no longer be the quickest, but has all of the class needed to turn games. It would just be a nice touch, that's all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfpunk Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I really like that idea. The player could release a press statement in his last year of his contract stating that he would love to go back to his original club to finish out his career. Just like Henrik Larsson.

Amaroq Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Works for me, assuming its happening in real life enough to warrant inclusion in the game. It would certainly give more meaning to the "Favourite Clubs" field the researchers are putting in the DB, and how that often seems to reference lower-division clubs which current stars started their careers at.

Amaroq Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 It might also be nice to get unsolicited staff applicatons when a player with Favourite Clubs retires but has gotten his coaching/physio/scout badge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfpunk Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 It would be nice to hear what someone from the SI team thinks about this idea.

golfpunk Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Well I assume that Regen's start out with a favourite club etc. so the same could apply to them, they may want to return and play for their first club after moving on or they may want to finish out their career at their favourite club.

brat Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Love the idea. Would be nice to have the player or the team "start the flirting", like "Player x told to the press he's not getting younger and would think about the opportunity to go back to his loved club once the season ended", which could make his team more opened to selling or releasing him. Plus, I'd love to get Figo and Ronaldo back in Sporting! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eborg Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 This would be a really great addition to the game.It should be solved like this in my opinion... Player announces his retirement in a year or two. He will issue a news statement where he would like to play for his beloved club.How should this be programmed?Well,I think that it should be done so that a player wants to sign for his FIRST club if he has a favorite club rating of at least 13.

Eborg Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Plus,he would be willing to sign almost any kind of a deal... Hmmm...I believe everyone would like to ask them to stay for a couple of seasons more... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andysharkey21 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 i dont think it should be done by first club as a player could still love one team and want to go there no matter what even if he has never played for them. for example isnt micah richards and arsenal fan? i could see him going there one day if they are allowed more english players!

Spagbol Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Great idea! I love the additional idea of former players applying to their beloved clubs post-retirement when they get their coaching badges. Also, I'm yet to see an old player take over as manager of the club they're playing for when the current manager leaves, a la Jimmy Quinn, Southgate, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
