Starr_Man5 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I bought a player who was called (IIRC) Ignacio Diaz De Cerio (something like that) I remember when he scored on his debut the commentary said "And the fans chant Ignacio Diaz De Cerio's name!" I don't think so... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GillsMan Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Ages ago in 1996/97 I think, I bought a striker called Youri Mulder for my Arsenal side and then, for fairly obvious reasons, bought Tony Scully even though he was poop, just so I had have my own X-Files partnership.

Nobby_McDonald Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I bought an average Championship player for my Premier League team Billericay Town on 06 who had the same name as me. To my delight he turned out to be very good for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recife Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 A player named Zaltron scored against me yesterday. I considered making a bid, because that is a cool name, but decided that a cool name wasn't enough to get him past the other seven players competing for two forward spots.

betterspud Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I remember back in the early days of CM, the board used to suggest that you buy 'a big name player', so I always used to buy Chris Bart-Williams and ask them (out loud, every time) 'He got a big enough name for ya?' I was young(ish) back then tho'. Wouldn't be guilty of such immature behaviour niowadays. What do you mean it's not funny?. It may not be funny now, but it wasn't funny then either!

Spagbol Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'm 50,000% guilty of this. Double so when at a lower league team and any player going will do. Last night while starting a new game with a freshly promoted Polish side I purchesed a Brazilian player called Rambo on a free transfer. To be fair he's quite good. I'm still waiting for a "Rambo fires in a long range shot" or similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Heath Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I had two "John Grant"s in my team in CM97/98, so I bought up all the other John Grants I could find (there were 3 others). One of them turned out to be quite good, so long as I didn't get confused about which one was which and play them out of position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
