aliatam Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 I usually say ah I know this guy and watch him more carefully especially if I ever bought him to one of my teams.. I must admit I sometimes get disappointed on how they look like Sometimes they are not as I imagined them to be.. hehe.. How you guys think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

canvey!! Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 My assistant manager spoke to the press after the West Brom 0-1 Portsmouth game about how dissapointed he was that the referees bottled out of noticing the handball in the buildup to Pompey's goal . There are many players who I see their names on FM and think them white, and they turn out to be black, or vice versa. Micah Richards, Leroy Lita to name a couple.

goodzorr_avfc Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Breno looks the dogs bits. I must say I've never seen what half of my players look like. Might do a google image search Also, Wikipedia says Omar Esparza is a right side player, but FM says he is a left sided player. Who is right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pricey85 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I was exceedingly suprised to see what sidney govou really looked like after signing him on FM07. On the other hand this could have been because for some reason on my game his player pic showed a long haired white guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klimowicz Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Brett Studman is an Auzzie CB who is a 41 year old Madrid legend in cm00-01. he looks so normal irl. no where near as good atm either. i thought giampaolo pazzini would be more of a Luca Toni look-alike too.

Thork Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 In the Champ Manager when Arjen Robben started at Gronegen I always imagined him to be a large black man. I got quite a shock when Chelsea signed him, I can tell you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty_ACE Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I've found myself going onto youtube quite frequently to search for any videos of players that I've signed. Especially ones that I've never seen play obviously. But I wouldn't say I've ever been disappointed with their looks. I've been surprised a few times though.

jamiehex Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Ballotelli I knew in my mind was black cos I knew his history. Ghanian parents. Court ordered adoption to the Balotelli family etc. Still my mind couldn't connect it. So when I saw him i was like huh? Oh yeah...he's really Ghanian. Topper for me tho was Jimmy Bullard. Now that's a mug only Mom could love. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klimowicz Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Piatti looks a little like lionel messi imo. not really suprised by his appearence. Tevez and Riquelme suprised me though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke Poges? Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 It seems really odd that you see really famous players on a game then look them up, does anyone actually watch football at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klimowicz Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 most people are talking from a 'before they were famous' perspective. Tevez and Riquelme were regular signings for me on the CM games, before Riquelme was at barcelona. Tevez and Mascherano were free transfers at the start of cm01-02 games. unless you're argentinian and have a deep knowledge of every player, you are unlikely to know what 16 year old players look like unless there is media hype. thats the point of this thread.

CalStratho Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I signed Balázs Dzsudzsák to one of my teams in FM08, couple of weeks later I was watching the Tottenham PSV UEFA cup game and he came on as a sub. Didn't look much like I had pictured him, didn't even know he had signed for PSV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
