Returning Stars A flawed concept?

I might have a hint of snobbery about this as I thought it was a novelty concept and real player GW's would eventually die.

To my mind they represent a boost to new teams and whilst many forum members will go hurrah, those same forum members thought Youth Academies were a good idea:p

The issue with a boost for new teams is that it has the effect of making the gameworld flatter. So you join an old GW get Rooney get paid £4m for him and now your £4m richer.

Sounds fair? Well imagine your the schmuck in the middle of the GW struggling away and a new team gets a gift of £4m. Maybe your new to the game, made mistakes whatever, but now this new team is leaving you in the dust. Pretty demoralising as your now left stuck forever in the middle unable to progress with new teams washing over you season after season.

Still what other way was there to keep real players coming back and there was clear demand for that.
