dave_the_fox Posted 10 June 2010 Posted 10 June 2010 They sure were. I always used to get Kim Kallstrom. Eder Bau was another for me... never amounted to much in real life. Gareth Jelleyman... hehehehehehehehe. Who? In fact I seem to remember there being 2-3 decent players who could be poached from the Posh in CM4. Jelleyman and Fulhams Simon Davies!
Fox You Forest Posted 10 June 2010 Posted 10 June 2010 Ståle Solbakken! their really were far too many excellent Scandinavian players.
lildave3 Posted 10 June 2010 Posted 10 June 2010 Timon Van Leeuwen and Jerome Thomas was an unbelievable strike partnership on CM 03/04.
Anorak Posted 12 June 2010 Posted 12 June 2010 Jesper Ljung, Tommy Svindal Larsen and Martin Knutsen on 97/98. David Whyte on a free - prolific in the lower divisions on 97/98 Cesar Delgado & Lebohang Mokoena were a bargain strikeforce for me on 05.
Edmund Posted 12 June 2010 Posted 12 June 2010 Ibrahima Bakayoko Bakayoko was a good player in real life though.
Fox You Forest Posted 12 June 2010 Posted 12 June 2010 Bakayoko was a good player in real life though. I don't know what he did after but he was useless at Everton. - Looking at Wiki it seems he did ok at Marseille but not a lot else.
Jordan Posted 12 June 2010 Posted 12 June 2010 Oh my Jah, I just started playing 00/01 again last week and this thread is epic. Hugo Viana on a free FTW. And Taribo West! Send yer scouts to Sweden and Portugal! I think the man, the myth, the Tonton Zola Moukoko was in 01/02? I was just reading about an English forward that was an absolute legend on Champ Man but became a crackhead and got locked up for robbing and killing cabbies. I can't find the link now, but I think this has to be the biggest differential between a CM player's virtual attributes and his real life performance besides the fake guys that were thrown in the game.
Fox You Forest Posted 12 June 2010 Posted 12 June 2010 Lionel Morgan Anatoli Todorov (can not believe I forgot this guy always used to be one of my first buys) He was immense, just looking him up on wiki seems he's still in Bulgaria at Loko Mezdra, and is listed as an attacking midfielder rather than a striker.
lildave3 Posted 13 June 2010 Posted 13 June 2010 Lionel Morgan Anatoli Todorov (can not believe I forgot this guy always used to be one of my first buys) He was immense, just looking him up on wiki seems he's still in Bulgaria at Loko Mezdra, and is listed as an attacking midfielder rather than a striker. Oh my god how could I forget Lionel. Class act in the virtual world. And Paul Tierney, always signed him and made him captain, stunning left back. But later discovered in real life he plays in a completely different position. Kind of like how on FA Premier League Manage 2000 Michael Twiss was an unbelievable left back but in real life is just a lower league striker.
aussie-fox Posted 2 July 2010 Posted 2 July 2010 Im pretty sure there was a swedish player called nikolas alexandersson or something???? on cm 97/98 he could play in any position apart from goalkeeper and was quite good jay lucus (15 year old aussie fwd) seem to remember that cm 97/98 also had loads of Indonesian players for some reason. never any good but just thought it was wierd
RedHux Posted 7 July 2010 Posted 7 July 2010 Clearly remember To Madeira as well. What a goal machine he was. He was awesome. Not a real person though so probably doesn't count.
Cat Burger Posted 7 July 2010 Posted 7 July 2010 Bakayoko was a good player in real life though. I'm sorry I didn't live up to your expectations of the thread.
aussie-fox Posted 8 July 2010 Posted 8 July 2010 Ashley lynth (i think that was his name) was a alright player to have in your side too!
martyn Posted 8 July 2010 Posted 8 July 2010 Anastasios Skalidis: Greek striker from Chania who could be picked up for about 50k. Ended up World Player of the Year. Kennedy Bakirciouglu Jonas Lunden Tom Youngs To Madiera Andrei Sigthorsson
Jon the Hat Posted 8 July 2010 Posted 8 July 2010 I signed Gabriel Batistuta for my City team once. He was predictably awesome.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 8 July 2010 Posted 8 July 2010 Anastasios Skalidis: Greek striker from Chania who could be picked up for about 50k. Ended up World Player of the Year. Kennedy Bakirciouglu Jonas Lunden Tom Youngs To Madiera Andrei Sigthorsson Yup, I had him too. Michalis Konstantinou was an awesome player... so maybe not a "failure" as such, since he's a consistently high scorer in the Greek 1st Div, he's hardly set the world alight either - which he did for me playing for a Leicester City team that did the double.
Anorak Posted 8 July 2010 Posted 8 July 2010 Ashley lynth (i think that was his name) was a alright player to have in your side too! Ashley Lythe - ex City youngster. Was an England regular on 01/02.
