Topic: Samie's U23 Draft - Discussion Thread

[Betty Blue]

Nice one on Simeone junior. I was seriously tempted to create a team of all old legends sons    Quite a few of them about.

Surprised Kessie lasted this long. Huge talent. He'd have been my midfield pick after Bakayoko.

[ggcc14]

Yeh both my strikers have had break through seasons. only thing Simeone is lacking is decision making, technically and physically he's spot on. Natural infront of goal too, will command a big fee in a year or two.

[ggcc14]

I wanted Dani 

[XabiArt]

Is it my go or are we waiting for sheer magnetism?

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

We are now at the point where I've barely heard of anyone being picked outside of the PL

Do you watch any leagues outside of the PL?

[KingLuis10]

    Xabiart: Donnarumma, Sterling, Martial, Goretzka, Zouma, Titsandarse

Autocorrect? 

[XabiArt]

hahaha

Sorry lads, had a lot of sleep to catch up on from over the weekend, which is why I missed my pick last night and this morning 

I'll make my pick now, just need to check my shortlist

[4]

Two players I really want that play in the same position, and I've gambled that at least one of them will still be available when it gets back to me. Regret it already 

[Klippity Klopp]

Skip me if it comes back to me later on.

Did he mean just last night or do I go now?

[Crosby Nick]

Surprised no one's picked Ritchie Partridge yet.

[Greatness]

Lindelof is a great pick at this stage, was hopeing he would still be available for me to pick him.

Not too many big name talents left at this stage but still some very talented players left who many probably haven't heard of before.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Do you watch any leagues outside of the PL?

I watch a few teams every now and again. Leagues as a whole? no

[KingLuis10]

He's a good pick because he's a big name, most will know him. He's having a poor season for Benfica though. I'd be pretty happy if United splurge 30+ million for him in the summer.

[Melbred]

Starting to get down to the nitty gritty now, especially in the defensive positions 

[Betty Blue]

You mean you don't watch Belgian football!? You're missing out, dude.

[Lawnmowerman]

Skip me on this one folks. I'll get back for the next pick though. I'd suggest you skip Mondzz too

[4]

Was tempted by both of them Mondzz. Think Barbosa will move away from Inter in the summer and start fulfilling his potential, and it must be about time for Lozano to make the move to Europe.

Like someone already said, think it will be intriguing to look back on these teams in a couple of years

[Klippity Klopp]

Butland is 24.

Missed out by a month

Surprised Gabigol hadn't been snapped up earlier to be honest! I've seen Lozano linked to a few clubs lately so I'm sure we'll see him in Europe sooner or later.

Butland is 24.

Noticed that as soon as I picked deleted the pick.

[ggcc14]

Titsandarse 

So is it Eel Lobo's turn then back through the list?

[Melbred]

Titsandarse 

So is it Eel Lobo's turn then back through the list?

I think Mondzz still has 2 more picks to catch us all up too

[ggcc14]

He's made 5 picks and presumably makes his 6th in a moment? Idk..

[Betty Blue]

Surprised Gabigol hadn't been snapped up earlier to be honest! I've seen Lozano linked to a few clubs lately so I'm sure we'll see him in Europe sooner or later.

10 months ago he'd have probably been a first round pick. Still has immense talent, but this season is an absolute write off for him.

I'd still love Liverpool to sign him though 

[El Lobo]

Can we not ask this guy again please, still not PMing 

[Lawnmowerman]

pm me when im up

[XabiArt]

Lindelof has been picked


Dembele, cant believe I forgot him! Had him in mind before we started

Dembele, cant believe I forgot him! Had him in mind before we started

Every time I've watched Celtic this year, which hasn't been that often to be fair, he's looked a complete donkey to me. I know he's got a decent goalscoring record but that's not too hard to achieve in an unbeaten Celtic side dominating the league.

[4]

But yeah, good pick 

[ggcc14]

Yeh delete the Lindelof pic, Neves is a nicer pick anyway

[JSteve]

Mondzz has to pick a replacement for Lindelof, then Betty is up I suppose.

Edit: Which he is now.

['Mondzz']

Can we not ask this guy again please, still not PMing 

Mate I've just explained via PM that Betty was going to PM you instead of me as I'd been a while with my 5 picks.

Lindelof has been picked

Amended.

[ggcc14]

Damn you Betty, damn youuuuu

[Betty Blue]

[Melbred]

Mad scramble for full backs now, glad I got Digne at this stage.
