This draft defo not going the way I expected. I thought Gio would go for an XI in kilts, Barney for a Liverpool homage, some early battles between people setting out to get the Busby Babes... Nope, even Chester isn't the same with money in his pocket, where is the Chester I know from the sheep draft? While everyone was busy blocking each other for Davids, Rijkaard, Vieira and Keane he would just quietly pick up Michael Carrick :lol:

Fair points, sir - but the format ain't ideal for downright clever and/or weird moves.

So far. I have several planned, actually. Thing is, though, there is no real element of surprise in an auction format - well, there is, actually, but it never lies in the introduction of the players: Matters feck all if your man is the most original idea since sliced starfish filets - anyone can bid for him regardless.

Allow me to clear that up for ye, my dear fellow - you see, what transpired was as follows: I did quote your good self, accidentally, and for a wee bit of time - just a wee little flash, one could say - this accident of a post was on display on these here pages. And thus it was that ye got yer alert. A legit alert to a post which not longer, alas, exists. Such is the fleeting nature of all things, ye know.

:lol: Cheers man. We might go the way of Portsmouth and Leeds, but at the very least we'd confuse the hell out of Anto with our drunken rambles in the process!

I was thinking I looked more like this:

Whilst I stared on desperate to spunk 100m on one or two personal favourites.
 
In accordance with the current 'storytelling' introduction, I hereby present you my players, as and when I get hold of them

Team: On Her Majesty's Secret Pillows
Motto: Shaken not Squeezed

Player: G8

Gascoigne announced in 2004 that he no longer wanted be called Paul or Gazza. Instead, his new name was to be ‘G8′ – a genius combination of his first initial and former shirt number. It had another brilliant advantage as well. “It sounds a bit like great, or it does with my Geordie accent”, Gascoigne explained.

Gazza-Vinnie-Jones.jpg


Note: After the infamous ball squeezing above, Gazza sent Vinnie a rose and the hardman returned the gift with a toilet brush.

Popularly known as 'Gazza' he is the most naturally gifted English midfielder of his generation. His speed of thought and natural ability put his ahead of most of his peers. One of those players who simply plays the game for fun and has the ability to wow the supporters with his antics both on and off the pitch. His exquisite talent evidenced in the WC games with a notoriety to match with his off field gimmicks, he will never be forgotten.

He would have been a fantastic signing to Manchester United, but a offer of a car to his dad and a sunbed to his sister when Fergie was on a holiday tipped the scales in Spurs favour. Some anecdotes of Gazza that are worth recollecting now:

The Spurs were having a training session one day and one of the players kicked the ball over the fence. Gazza said ”don’t worry I’ll get it”, jumped over the fence, and completely vanished for the rest of the day. The next day, approximately 24 hours later, Gascoigne jumped back over the fence, with the ball under his arm, completely straight faced saying ”I got it!”

In one match, the referee had dropped his yellow card, and Gascoigne was kind enough to pick it up for him. Of course, instead of just handing the card back, Gazza used the chance to show the ref the yellow card as if he was booking him. The ref, typically, felt his authority threatened and returned the favour.

While at a restaurant in Rome, Gazza and his wife were planning to have lobster for dinner. Eight of the crustaceans were lurking in the cold water tank, but Gazza insisted he wanted only one in particular. Since the waiter didn’t seem to understand his Italian, Gascoigne took matters into his own hands and jumped into the lobster tank headfirst. He emerged with the lobster in his hands, shouting, “I want that one!” Gazza proceeded to sit down at the table, salt in eyes, new suit soaking, but enjoying his personally picked meal. The next morning, he suffered from a cold and had to call Lazio that he couldn’t make the match as he’s got the flu. To this day, he claims the lobster was both ‘well-cooked’ and ‘well worth it’.

Greaves and Ball are both steals at those prices.

Ssssh! I wondered if Gio was about to top himself for possibly overspending with that opening bid. Issue is, by now it would take a 40M offer, or I think that´s how it works.
