Generation-Next Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 My scout just recommended me a player, who I've not seen in years. This thread will probably be for the lads who've been playing this for years and years (like myself) So, the player that my scout found was this beauty. So he looks decent, nothing like he could've been though... here he is in FM 06 Click here for Sherman So he looks decent, nothing like he could've been though... Here he is in FM06 clearly an absolute world beater So have you guys randomly come across anybody recently who you thought.. "Bloody hell, that brings back memories" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generation-Next Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Lauri!! What a monster, I think he's playing in Scandinavia now but I think he started at Liverpool didn't he? Then you could loan him for like league 1 teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Lionheart Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Before that you could pick him up for non league/League 2 teams as a 14/15 year old from his club in Finland! Wikipedia says he was at JIPPO. And is now at Sint Truden in Belgium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phugalu Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Lauri della valle plays in Belgium at the moment for Sint-Truiden. Mokoena was a beast together with Vilakazi, his teammate. Peter Prospar (Trinidad and Tobago) was my diamond buy in the Championship Manager edition still, I forgot which one. Somehow he turns up to be a lot older now and he's a coach in current FM. Together with Alexandros Papadopoulos he ripped open defenses . I remember Freddy adu being a 13 or 14 year old when he first appeared in the game (damn that's 10 years ago) and was a must sign for everyone. Daniel Braaten was a Norwegian wonderkid and is already 31 now too. Luciano Galletti was my best Attacking Midfielder together with Cesar Delgado. Ibrahima Bakayoko was one of my best attackers when in probably one of my first Championship Manager games I had. He's still playing at the age of 36. For Goalkeepers the only two gems I can come up with are Ochoa and Akinfeev. I think I can come up with many more of these so maybe I should stop here and give other people a chance lol. Most of these guys never lived up to their potential sadly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

danm2501 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Junior Khanye. I don't know if he was a beast for anyone else. But I had a save where he was far and away the best player in the world. Think he had an average rating of above 9 for my Arsenal save on whatever game it was he was on, absolute beast. Cherno Samba an obvious one as well. He was so good back in the CM days. Shame he never fulfilled his massive potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgaffer Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Brilliant, Must been the 7 Goals in 4 Games for Spain U16s. I remember using him as Zidanes Backup and I ended up selling a 33 year old Zidane because he was so good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minez01 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I can't remember which FM is was where you could pick up Jimmy Briand heaps cheap and he was a monster of a goalscorer. Could have been FM11 or 12. I also remember benching half of the Real Madrid team in 07 when I brought in Renato Augusto because he was an absolute world beater at 19 I think.

Captain America Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Nicolas Millán, 14 year old AM/FC, Colo Colo, Chile. Had to wait 3-4 years to use him but he was worth it! The Greek kid from Barca's La Masia with a name that few can remember and even fewer can pronounce. He was 12 years old or something and stayed in their youth team for ages. ANYONE REMEMBER HIS NAME?? It was a pretty long surname and definitely Greek! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy2006 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I remember buying football manager magazine when the debut 05 game came out n it had some young players who they thought were going to be stars and one player has just sprung to my mind in Dutch striker Bjorn Zwikker he was 14 in 05 and was like Adu was tipped for greatness. Sadly I don't have screenshots but remember he used to play for FC Emmen in the Dutch league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampuk Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Källström and Farnarud were my fav players. Especially Kallstrom who back in those days was something like 22-23 and had 20 at long shots, passing and free kicks. Absolute must buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mihalis Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I dont have a screenshot for him but on a few FMs ago there was a greek youngster Roberto Londinos or something like that was making huge waves in greece until a serious knee injury ruled him out. He was immense i remember buying him and he ended up european and world player of the year in his first season as a 17 year old. WOW...

davehibb Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 One word, two syllables (probably spelt incorrectly)... Sigporsson! Was an absolute beast. I remember from the one of the earliest CMs that Lee Jones of Liverpool turned out amazing for me too. And Paul Tait of Birmingham? And Bakircoglu (sp?) a little later too. Not that any of these guys are still around I don't think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiddlestix Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Back in Champ Man days I used to sign James Flood, easily the best performing striker with my formation... and Hamilton Diaz at centre back, one season he was my second top sorer... in real life neither even have a wiki page.

Jogo Bonito Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Amazing with Andy Keogh, especially in FM 07 FM06 was my first year with FM and I loved managing Scunthorpe. For a few editions they had awesome strikers: Sharp & Keogh first off. Then Beckford, Hayes, Paterson amongst others (I'm sure there was somebody else just as prolific after Sharp/Keogh). The rest of the team was awful but I could get great results from just a two-man team. I also blame those strikers for getting me too interested in FM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

danm2501 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Anthony Vanden Borre brings back some memories. Became probably the best RB on the game after a couple of seasons. Sign Vanden Borre and Kompany and your defence was set-up for years! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
