route1 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 By this I don't mean in the same game or in FM08 itself, but is there a player you've signed on previous editions that you look out for or have just happened to have signed again in newer editions? For me, on FM06 I had Simon Walton in defence or as DMC for my almighty Charlton team. Playing as Leeds this time round (FM08) I needed a decent CBK so looked for decent defenders with Leeds as a favourite club and lo-and-behold Mr Walton pops up! And he's still good, which helped Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

niktheblade1 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I always do this and it really bugs me, but I just can't help it. I always sign Doudin for whatever team I play as. I remember always signing Aaron Lennon in every version until he became too expensive at spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumostro Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Mike Duff back in th CM days and Anthony Vanden Borre has always been a usefull purchase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norville Rodgers Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Kim Kallstrom and Rafael van Der Vaart are always looked for, and usually signed. Back in the day, Sigporsson, Finidi George and Alex of cruzeiro always got bought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazzydeepy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I usually sign hangeland from a norwegian club, fulham have him now. He does well for anyone in the premier league, does his job. I also have signed Eddie stanford in the previous 2 years as he costs nothing but is amazing for LL clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

polegategavin Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I never intentionally sign the same player again, however I was recently promoted to the English Premiership and my scout suggested Jiri Jarosik, so I took him on trial and then signed him. I had had him in my Southampton team in FM06, and he was awesome. This was before he signed for Chelsea IRL so was fairly unheard of, but he help them gain promotion scoring over 20 goals from central midfield.

nick... Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I signed chris bart-williams for liverpool in the demo of CM93/94 because my board wanted a big name signing and he had the biggest nae i could find (i was young, and i thought it was funny) in FM05, my scout found him in cyprus and I thought he could do a job for Aberdeen, so I teamed up with him again. In one save, i signed a regen called Matthew Webb 5 times for a combined sum of almost £100m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbrown Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 For some odd reason i will always sign or try my hardest to sign danny rose. I think hes amazing! watch out for him in the future! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornelius11 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 i signed Steven Fletcher from hibs to rangers in fm07 and signed him again in fm08, hes amazing (top goalscorer 3 leagues in a row) in fm07 but not as good in fm08, but fm07 is better than fm08 imho.

mouthuk Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Sergio Aguero Vincent Kompany (he has always been my most consistent and reliable purchase since FM05) Marcelo (get him early while he's cheap. Get out clause is around 5m in first season) Danni Alves Xabi Alonso Essien (after a few seasons obv) And from now on i will always try to get Kaká...imense.

turn it upto 11 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I signed daniel bierofka in fm 07 for about 200k and he became the best player in the premiership by far, most assists and goals. tried to sign him in fm 08 but he wouldnt come anyone got him in this version? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaroq Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 No, but Bierofka utterly bedevilled me in one save-game. I think he had a 1-goal, 3-assist game against me at one point!! I finally settled on explicitly double-covering him as the only way I could slow him down: I had both the winger and fullback on his side set to "explicit Man-Mark" him, one with "tight marking" on and the other with it off, and that was the only way I could slow him down.

turn it upto 11 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 the only thing i did do is use him a a search filter thing when i was in BSP at farsley, got karl pitman who all my scouts said dont bother and when i sighned him all my coaches said offload him but he was kind of the equivilent for me scoring and lots of assists Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Red Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Maxim Tsigalko was some sort of understatted goal-scoring hero for a Real game I had on CM 4. The best was Jens Jeremies. He was available for a free at the end of the first season, but was more or less impossible to get. Somehow, on one of many save games, I managed to get him for Liverpool, went to Real, took him with me, then brought him to Southampton after that. He was so great.

skintsaint Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I was going through the free transfers the other night and came across (not literally): Tommy Svindval Larson (sp?)

cliff7197 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Alberto Artigas. Signed him in 96/97 I think, and have tried to sign him every year since. Not in my current 08 game, perhaps he's retired now. He was a Spanish striker who partnered Alan Shearer in my Newcastle team the first time I signed him. He was always rubbish in every version after that, but I signed him anyway for old time's sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
