Klose is a good pick. There's two good strikers I'm surprised haven't gone yet
 
putting aside United bias, it is pretty clear that Klose is better than Ole or Cole

although kps88 does done well to get Cole and Yorke together as they were an unstoppable combo once upon a time

I've got 5 quality goal scorers left on my book. After the Edmilson pick I've only one midfielder left who's bold on my sheet. That's only based on my opinion though.
 
KPS88 has handed me the dubious pleasure of picking for him what would have been my next pick :(

THAT'S IVAN CORDOBA, NOT ROONEY :D

We seem to be working off the same list. Edmilson was my backup and is now gone. Hopefully your bolded one is not mine, I've been winging him from the outset.

Odd thing to say about Zidane. Are you an Italian twat by the name of Materazzi by any chance?

Zidane's temper was not limited to that incident in fairness, he saw red a fair few times.
 


Giovanni Van Bronckhorst - can play several positions but probably had his best years at left back for Barca.

There is a quite a lack of good left backs in this draft (as in general to be honest) so I'm quite happy to get a decent one in at this stage

Nice one Ralaks, van Bronckhorst was going to be my 10th/11th pick if he managed to last that long.
 
I am genuinely struggling to think of good centre halves now...

Saying that, there are very few keepers too. Glad I am sorted in both departments :)

Cordoba is a good shout. Was tempted to get him myself

I've got more than enough decent left backs for everyone to play one.

I find it funny how once people get a position sorted they try to send people into hysterics... quite handy to get everyone to pick goalkeepers or left backs when you already have one :smirk:

BTW, that was a blatant foul by Van Bommel in the buildup :mad:
 
Cold_Boy's got until 7:50 to make his pick

Good picks Zen and Brwned, my first 2 choices for RB gone.

P.S. I hate you.
 
Sadly not! He was the French Gary Neville basically, looked the best attacking fullback left by a distance in my view. Looking pretty decent at the moment, happy with that defence.

Ah screw you Brwned. He was my only solid next pick.

He was better at attacking than Neville really. Surprised you didn't go for a solid left back and had Zambrotta on the right. There's one left that's in the Gary Neville mold. Guess I'll maybe have him instead then.
 
At the half way point of the draft and the biggest question remains if Dan can come up with an all Brazilian team.

I disagree, sure there are some allright ones left, but the difference in quality between the better left backs and the not so good is bigger than in every other position in this draft imo.

Not that a left back is the position people will look at when deciding a team anyway to be honest.

Couldn't really see many other left backs around that I liked once GvB was gone, a couple of wingbacks but it wouldn't have the same balance to it. Arguably Zambrotta's peak was in his last couple of years at Juve in the build up to the World Cup and that was when he was down the left hand side either in midfield or at left back anyway. And overall I think Sagnol was the best fullback that was picked this round.
 
He could easily get away with picking some average players if they're Brazilian.

That's looking quite good! There are stcks of very good attacking players still available as well :nervous:
 
Ohh Jimmy Jimmy!!! Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink...

I was considering picking Sagnol as well, definately among the top right backs in this draft.

Rubbish, I wish they coincided, the only two consistently prolific strikers Chelsea have had in twenty years - Drogba never had the right partner.
