Moreno Mannini

That's the one I was thinking of. Great 12th pick!
Honestly thought that Skizzo would take him though.I know. I saw you in that old match thread and warned you not to pick the Italian MF.

with one of the strangest goals -
Well, Thiago Silva got owned there...
was waiting for thatWell, Thiago Silva got owned there...
Cheers.Another fine pick. Well played, that's a very solid series of drafting.
So trueWell, Thiago Silva got owned there...
Lazio goal in 2000 and game against Roma the same season. That's all I found about him. I didn't read about any criticism of the sort in his first season where he conceded 20 goals, 1 more than Arrigo Sacchi's Milan's best season defensively.The Italian media dubbed him butter hands and called him van der gol. Juve went to the extent of having his eyes tested. Calmness, confidence, ability to marshall the back line...everything that you'd normally expect in VdS was all missing during his Juve stint. You'd be hard pressed to find any Juve fans who regard him highly. The only think he was known for during his stint there were the keeper errors.
You took one of my Final choices! Well done.
He didn't win anything worth of note during those two seasons and having in mind Juve seasons before that and how successful they were they were looking for a scrapegoat. There was no team during those 2 seasons conceding as few as Juve with VDS on goal, compare that to the season before when they conceded 39 in the league.I didn't say that he was widely recognized as a failure - I said that his stint is widely recognized as such within the context of his career. This is a draft, it isn't a scientific evaluation of VDS's career. In the context of the draft it is evidently a problem that his stint is recognized as a failure: VDS' reputation took a dive after said stint, that is absolutely undeniable whether you think it's fair or not.

I won't argue that his level was the peak one we saw at United but that peak level is certainly only rivaled by Kahn (Kahn is the better keeper overall just to mention that here) in this pool.
I think his level was close to his best and in his first season especially when he conceded 17 goals from open play(3 penalties) which is one every other game. I don't think there is comparable record for other keepers in the pool above?
And if someone suggests it's due to Juve's defense, what about shopping 39 with the same defense year before?
VdS was also the first non Italian GK at Juve so naturally his every action would be scrutinized.
Yep I missed him non voluntarily but as I already mentioned a while back Zenga.Ahem.

Nah, happy to have a GK discussion for a changeI know, just giving you a hard time
Still 9 picks left bro.2 of the biggest names in the draft still unpicked and one excellent player appeared to have gone under the radar.

@RedTiger
I set my picks up so my last pick could be any of the 3 leagues, there were soooooo many players left that I felt like a kid in a sweet shop with only enough for 1 sweet. @Pat_Mustard i considered the striker you were thinking of but I just couldn't pass up my man Sensini
