That means you could sign the 22-year old striker for nothing - an absolute bargain. Cherno Samba (CF) Championship Manager 01/02Īfter coming through the Millwall youth ranks, real-life Cherno Samba found himself without a club in Championship Manager 01/02.
He left the club in 2017 after scoring just a solitary goal for the Gunners in a disappointing five-year spell.īut the fact Sanogo had been nominated for the Golden Boy in 2013 proves it wasn’t only the Football Manager scouts that got this one wrong. The rangy Frenchman was mostly used as an impact sub at the Emirates but did find himself thrown into the first XI on the rare occasion - including a crucial Champions League last-16 clash with Bayern Munich in 2014. Premier League fans may remember the real-life Sanogo as one of Arsene Wenger's late-career flops at Arsenal. His finishing, movement, dribbling and composure were all of the highest order too, making him a sort of hybrid of Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry. He could beat a defender in the air or he could skip past his marker at lightning speed. His physicality made him pretty much unstoppable, with near-perfect stats for strength, speed, agility, jumping, balance and stamina. Ibrahima Bakayoko (AM/CF) Championship Manager 97/98Īvailable to purchase for a small sum from French outfit Auxerre on Football Manager 2011, Yaya Sanogo was a young striker who quickly developed into a world class target man.

Adu is currently plying his trade in Sweden after representing no fewer than 13 professional clubs in a journeyman career that was extinguished before it ever got going. The man himself never hit those heights though. Seriously, FM Adu made real-life Lionel Messi look like Ali Dia.
He was easily lured to the Premier League early in the game and he soon developed into the best there ever was. That promise was reflected on Football Manager 03/04, with creators blessing his 15-year-old virtual counterpart with near-perfect scores for pace, acceleration, dribbling and determination, as well as a maximum potential forecast. In real life, Adu earned a million-dollar Nike contract at the age of just 13 and appeared destined for superstardom as a kid breaking through at DC United in the MLS. Freddy Adu remains the poster boy for unfulfilled dreams a player against whom all other dashed hopes are measured.
