Anyone remember Sherman Cardenas? Top quality Colombian midfielder around '05/'06. He'd start for most teams by the age of 17/18, now plays for a local club in Colombia, according to Wiki.

I do I bought him every season and was one of the best players I would sign.

Felipe Anderson in FM13 is unreal, He has a relese clause for 5.25mill and will go to a championship team no problem for very small wages. Bangs in serious goals

Andri Sigporsson, KR Rekjavik CM 00/01. Legend. Could get him on a free 6 months into first season and would always hit 30+ goals a season without fail. Retired through injury in 2004.

Anyone remember Mark Smith a DRC at Bristol rovers in division 2, one of the early CM games maybe 00 01. Could be bought for pittance and put into any club side in the game and England international in few years.

I remember taking him to Juventus and him being part of club that won 7 titles in a row but he still only got a couple of B international caps, tossers!!!

Kennedy Bakircioglü in that game.....I remember Liverpool buying him, absolutely wrecked the league he did. Moukoko and Aghahowa were amazing too :pac:

Some very good ones have already been mentioned (Saviet, Nardiello, Mokoena, Djorjic)....but Alexander Farnerud was one of my favourite FM/CM players ever. I managed to somehow get him to Sheffield Wednesday, finished a league season with 102 points. He was a God.

I can't remember what edition of Football Manager it was (possibly 2005), but basically, you could sign a future world star for all 11 positions on the pitch, for no more than 2 or 3 million. It had like Alessio Cerci, Evandro Roncatto, Freddy Guarin, Fredy William Thompson, Freddy Adu.....

I remember I actually decided to take control of my U19 team at the side, just to see them mercilessly a$$ pound the opposition.

There was one version of FM where you could raid IK Start, they had a load of young, talented players. I signed them up in Ligue 1, I bought Cesar Delgado (another FM legend), and Robert Lewandowski (from the Legia Warsaw reserves I believe). They promptly tore Lique 1 a new one.

Was brilliant in the game and was the reason why Leeds sold Harry kewell so quickly.
Never made it though and wound up playing league of Ireland a few years ago afaik.

Was always brutal, got fast tracked to train with the senior squad as he was Asian and the club wanted to be seen in a good light after Bowyer and Woodgate played football with Sarfraz Najeibs head

Isaac Okoronkwo

Kenny?? Samura

Youssef Hersi

I remember CM 00-01, you could pick up the Nigerian Mutiu on a free. Always lost him within a year to one of the big Italian clubs for huge money.

As for CM 01-02. At the start of every game, no matter where I was managing, it would be straight into the Swedish U21's and see how many I could pick up!

There was a list that was nearly seared into my brain of who to go after!

Others that haven't been mentioned(I think)
J Lunden
Ishizaki?
Pagguy Zunda
Michael Stewart (Man Utd)
Hadzimehdovic
Chiotis- Greek keeper
Assane N'Diaye

Oh but he does. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maksim_Tsyhalka

Definitely my favorite ever CM player.


Julius Agahowa and Adres D'Allessandro deserve a mention also.

ThunbergsAreGo

The Paralta brothers from Guoiva (sp) in an earlir version of the game, FLC and FRC, perfect, one of them was alaways unbelievable and would sign for pretty much anyone

John Bostock is a guy who always became a very good player in recent versions of the game. Doesn't look like it will happen for him in reality. Playing under Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink at Antwerp at the moment. Still only 21 though.
