Kim Källström was frikking brilliant in FM 2007.
"I used to be 6 foot 2 with curly hair, look what it's done to me"

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

Dean Bowditch - was wonderkid status at one point with Ipswich

Carl Griffiths - thought he was going to be huge star when we signed him

Wayne Harrison - another wonderkid when Liverpool bought him from Scunny

eduardo, who broke his leg badly playing for arsenal. pre leg break he had the most natural finishing ability i have ever seen, even to this day. post leg break came back after lengthy spell out scored in his first game then just disappeared. he was so good when he burst on to the scene. where is he?

christopher wreh
javier hernandez
bojan
gai assulin
giovani dos santos
jozy altidore
rolando bianchi
david n'gog
ali dia

whoever said nery castillo cracking shout! we all thought he was going to be class simply because he paid some of his own transfer fee (which is pretty honourable) but i dont think he even scored once for us!

Bojan just signed for AC Milan
Rollie Bianchi it's still at Torino (just back in Serie A)
Altidore is playing for AZ in the Netherlands
Giovanni dos Santos claimed the other day to be "held hostage at Tottenham" after they refused some offers from you if I'm not mistaken
N'Gog isn't still at Bolton?

Eduardo is at Shakthar and not even a starter, but still a regular with the national team. Shame about that injury.

Nery Castillo is back in Mexico after loads of failed loans and a year with Aris in Greece, we played them in the UEFA remember.

The original Denilson had one illustrious career. Most expensive player, when he signed for Betis, world-cup winner 2002. Left Betis for France, then Saudi Arabia, MLS, Brazil, Vietnam & then finally this club in Greece.

That 2002 Brazil squad had some dodgy players. Vampeta, Luizao, Edilson, Ricardinho, Kleberson...

I'd argue that Michael Owen's is a career whose player disappeared.

Didn't he make a few hundred appearances for Lyon/win several titles there? FM legend, sure, but he's had a better career than most in the thread.
