Topic: The Journeyman Draft II - Marcus Bent edition - Discussion Thread

[Betty Blue]

That reminds me, there's a certain Evertonian and Manc (doesn't really narrow things down much, I know) who hasn't been picked yet.

  good one!

He's so far in decline that it's probably the worst time to pick him in a draft to be honest. He's never rated on here anyway.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

There's an absolute boss modern midfielder who would be a steal right now as well

[Klippity Klopp]

There are loads of good players available.  Not sure it's fair we talk about potential picks when people might be hoping others forget about them and have lined them up for a while.

Talk about the ones that have been picked instead.

Pogba? 

[Lfsea]

It's something of an inevitability that a decent wedge of the top 100 greatest PL players won't end up getting picked.

[Lastrador]

Well that was hard as fuck. It seems every British player has played for Newcastle or Villa at some point of their career. Scrapped 3 potential solid picks for Speed but I think I got the better player.

Could call this draft the 'Gary Speed edition'. Great pick in any case.

I know what you mean about Villa especially. I keep finding players have randomly played a handful of games for them.

Villa are fucking infuriating. Pires played nine PL games for them at 37 in some random six-month contract, that fucked my chances of getting a certain classy Peruvian on the other wing.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Ian Hart

oh you bastard!

[Betty Blue]

Does Greatness know he has another pick?

Harte is a very nice pick. Before I threw Leeds to the wind, he was one of my main targets at fullback.

[Lastrador]

The Irish Aurelio. Nice pick.

[Greatness]

Yeah Hart was boss, that Leeds side from the early 00's was one my favorite teams to watch growing up

was torn between choosing him as my left back or someone who played for Fulham and Liverpool.

My pick list is getting obliterated here

It's not your go.

We're moving the the other direction. 

yeah I was thinking it was way too early for me to pick

[Rysoph76]

Sorry mate, I got a PM this morning saying it was my pick so just a misunderstanding

['Mondzz']

Sorry mate, I got a PM this morning saying it was my pick so just a misunderstanding

That'll be my bad then, I got my PM off BettyBlue so assumed we were heading down the list.

[Rysoph76]

No probs mate, RIP Gary Kelly 

[Vishwa Atma]

Is it my turn now?

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

There's an absolute boss modern midfielder who would be a steal right now as well

Mousa Dembélé

[KingLuis10]

Thought you might’ve been talking about him!

Nice pick Klippity, such an underrated player.

[Klippity Klopp]

I think I had to get him now.  Not sure he'd have lasted if I left it any later.

But that's what screws with your head, maybe he could and I could have got another priority. 

I didn't want to take the risk.

[Betty Blue]

Faustino    Didn't see that coming!

[tubby]

Thought it best not to go with the other obvious Utd left back.

[Rysoph76]

Just checking, do we have to add pics of players holding things now? 

[Crosby Nick]

That reminds me, there's a certain Evertonian and Manc (doesn't really narrow things down much, I know) who hasn't been picked yet.

Darron Gibson's long range shooting is a really underrated quality.

[Betty Blue]

Just checking, do we have to add pics of players holding things now? 

Sounds like a pitch for our next draft. If you can't find a picture of a player holding a random non-football related item then you can't pick him.

[Rysoph76]

[Betty Blue]

[Crosby Nick]

[Lastrador]

How you bastards keep dropping such great names while I'm struggling to find an above average right back?

[Rysoph76]

Joe Allen holding a chicken must be the winner so far

[XabiArt]

Didn't think Phil would make it back up to me, now for the dafter picks.

[XabiArt]

Do I give JSteve 1 hour or 2 by the way?

[Lastrador]

He has two picks so it's two hours mate.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

[Lastrador]

[Betty Blue]

The winner.

[Klippity Klopp]

I was going to get Pele holding the viagra. 

"Talk to your doctor, I would!"
