Yes and No, I played Cm03/04 loads back in the day and ALWAYS signed Diego Armando Maradona, Fabio Paim and Anatoli Todorov. Even now every time I make a game in Fm2011 I make sure their in the database and buy them Asap and look after them, (Id sign Freddy Adu, and Lasha chlize if they had a pictures).
I guess this is simply my way of thanking them for hours of enjoyment when playing cm03/04, lol.
Ive also tended to sign Keith Gillespie, Ben Thornley (retired in Fm2011) and Rhodri Giggs too, though their players at the end of their career now.
Though to be honest in FM2011 I find myself always trying to get Robbie Brady, Oliver Norwood, Corry Evans, and Joe Dudgeon from Manchester United and Shane Fergusson from Newcastle United, Billy Bodin (Swindon Town), Nathan Craig (Everton), Vinny Mukendi (Macclesfield), Chris Maxwell and Kai Edwards (Wrexham).
Also if I goto a large club I always try and make sure Wrexham and Swindon are looked after anyway I can.
I also give a Youth Coach job to Paul Bodin (Billy Bodins father) without fail, and a Scouts job to Jan Age Fjortoft!
So Yes im loyal to those players who proved themselves over countless games, but any others as soon as they play up or start to decline i let their contract expire or sell them, im pretty ruthless!
