Topic: The Jurgen Klopp Draft - Discussion thread

[Draex]

Can’t remember whether I actually DM’d Samie, so have done (probably for the 2nd time).

First time for someone to slip into hi ps dms twice, he’ll be having a shower.

[Samie]

Funnily enough I did have one. 

[Sarge]

Though Shall Not Pass

Now thats a CB and keeper Trio. 

       

             

[Sarge]

About time.

[Samie]

I have a shower once a day, sometimes twice. I am many thnigs but a smelly fucker I am not.

[Popcorn]

Really wanted Seedorf but naively thought he play slip a few rounds. Nice pick

Oh we will soon ruin it for you.

[Sarge]

I am not researching just going  for a section when it comes to me, working out fine so far.

Shut up already, he is my go to

Forgot he even existed til he was picked    No shade, just someone who slipped through the net. Expect there will be a few more like that.

The research is the best bit. That and staying up all night plotting your next picks only for them to all be taken before your turn

[Sarge]

If my pick comes up before 5.30pm tomorrow just go off without me I'll be home about 6.

[Sarge]

Now he is a ginger.

[Hazell]

Now he is a ginger.

More of a strawberry ginger.

[Betty Blue]

Now he is a ginger.

Looks blond to me.

[Drinks Sangria]

We’ve already had Sammer and Max was forced to change, only fair he’s taken off the board.

That was the blondie cat, hazel picked him in cat 10.

Yeah stop trying to win this thing by default.

[Draex]

This draft has everyone channeling their inner prickly journo hating Kloppo.

[Drinks Sangria]

I was so shithoused in my first ever draft over minor things that I have become what I was subjected to.

[Betty Blue]

Not meaning to pick on Red after Lahm-gate, but can I get some story on that Iniesta celebration? It's not one I remember besides of course the goal itself. Sorry, I was half comatose this morning and the tiny pic makes it hard to tell what's going on.

Generally, I didn't have shirt messages in mind for this category unless it's something especially impactful (there are only a couple I can think of).

[Betty Blue]

Sorry to say that's a negative on Barnes, Surfer. The category specifically asks for a picture because the idea is to emblazon the draft thread with 19s in celebration of Klopp getting us the big one. So even though we know he wore that number in 86, if there's no picture of the number visibly on him then he's not on the table.

Believe me I tried my hardest to find one. But unfortunately having only spent 17 minutes on the field in one match there isn't anything.

[surfer. Fuck you generator.]

Hey fellas. Since it's so peaceful here, I've got another blondie to vet:



That qualifies right? 

[tubby]

I'm glad I'm not in this draft now, I'd be losing my marbles at what seems to qualify as blonde.

I'll cap a pic from the game recording later and upload. That ok?

I mean, he's about as blonde as Lahm 

I don't even know anymore. I'll leave it to the people to decide.

Sorry, nope. That just opens a huge can of worms.

[Draex]

I don't even know who that is

[Popcorn]

The 'iconic' celebration player I was keen to pic may not pass the scrutiny now i feel 

[Betty Blue]

I don't even know who that is

I think it's Kimmich

Haha I can see I'm going to become increasingly unpopular as the draft wears on 

Feel free to PM me if you want to run it past me.

Its a message in memory of Dani Jarque, a close friend of Iniesta's, who passed away the year before. IIRC, Fabregas did the same two years later when they won Euro 2012.

[Popcorn]

I'd have gone for the Iniesta celebration to knock Chelsea out wearing the yellow kit after his last minute goal at Stamford Bridge. Very memorable.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

Just noticed Massimo Taibi played under Sacchi at one point. Someone else can use him, I've got another keeper lined up.

You're welcome.

Interesting. It's not something I was aware of at the time. Obviously it was hugely important to Iniesta (and Fabregas), but I'm honestly not sure whether I'd call it particularly iconic.

The idea for this category is to find those celebrations that were trademarks for a player (King Kenny's arms in the air, Batigol's machine gun fingers) or those one-off celebrations that were either controversial, funny or off the wall.

I'm open to hearing opinions on it, but I think shirt messages are rarely that.

[Betty Blue]

I think it's important to seperate the goal from the celebration. Is this one more memorable because of it being a last minute winner or what he was wearing? If that had happened in a league game would you even remember it?

Here's one of Barnes wearing the no19 on his shorts

surfer, thank me later if that works 

[Popcorn]

Bale's awful trademarked celebration thankfully been confirmed. Though I'm not proud I had to resort to that

It's crumpled and you can't remotely see the 19 clearly. Not trying to be a pedant, but the draft is about celebrating Klopp not about sneaking in your favourites.

Aye, can't fucking stand it. But it's very much his celebration, so fits the brief perfectly
