Pre Premier League Draft

@Gio in your last post, the time for Greig is missing.. Could you add that back? I know there was issue with tags not working so just calculate from when you saw the post.. I believe it is ~25 minutes

@youngrell
 
I'd have been so out of my depth here. Some names I've never heard of and others I'm looking forward to reading more about.
 
@Cal?

Was not expecting Cantona to be picked in this draft. He joined Leeds in Feb 92 if I remember correctly? That means he has 3 months of applicable football for this draft.

3 months and a league title, better than most players you’d find

Also don’t forget this is ultimately a Man Utd forum

Why? Had great night life, but was too expensive for my tastes back then. Too many Jaguars on the road iirc. I was based in Shanghai and used to be in HK almost twice a month on weekends.

Mainly the roll back in human rights. Don’t know if you have followed the story. But the CCP is getting all upset with some HKer suggesting HK independence OUTSIDe Hong Kong.

It is really though. Picking a player who barely qualifies for the draft, knowing that scan voters will see the name and vote for him without reading the context.

Straight from Wiki. I remember his time at Leeds well. What performances in your eyes made him instrumental?

I’ll leave that for the match threads (meaning I can’t remember and need to look it up) ;)

Why does Wiki say 28?

Because he joined Utd in November 1992 and the 92/93 season started in August 1992. He played 13 times for Leeds between August and November before leaving to join us.

Edit - Easy Mode - 15 games for Leeds in the 91/92 season. 13 games for Leeds in the 92/93 season before joining us three months into the season.
 
So as this draft is only valid up until the end of the 91/92 season, Cantona is being judged on 15 games for Leeds.

Its absolutely trying to trick the voters into not looking further than the names.

Trying to pick someone that played a mere 15 games for Leeds in this entire 20 year time period and then adding that on top of drunk and absent Best with the admitted goal of just trying to get votes based on their names on a Man Utd forum is definitely not in the spirit of the draft IMO.
