That's how it would work. No transfers would be 'forced', i.e. Henry would start at Monaco, Anelka and PSG and would be available for anyone to buy.
The timeline would be 'broken' as you put it, but that's half the fun - rewriting history! The main reason for wanting this is it would mean that the game would have more long-term appeal, in that after say 15-20 seasons you still recognise many of the player names, rather than having random regens.
