Edgar - 26th September for me and Stob, He isn't free until then.
Would appreciate if we all could stick to ShareMyTactics for formations. Not perfect, but gives a bit of uniformity. First listed gets keeper at top.
@Edgar Allan Pillow maybe you can try out the format Chester proposed a while back, that is having both formation graphics side by side instead of one over another. The fact that you can see both without scrolling certainly makes it easier and removes the whole GK on top/bottom restriction.
Like this?
vs
I like it!
@Joga Bonito what time suits you, mate?
The workers would finish a renovation in my apartment at Sunday, probably, so I will need a day off - is something like Tuesday/Wednesday looks ok for you?
I'm still surprised that no one went for Gamarra or Gattuso in the draft! Hell!
Was waiting for Gattuso to get picked the whole draft. Wanted him as a sub too, but decided to go for a forward. Really surprised - is re rated only as a part of a Pirlodiamond?
Wednesday sounds good to me. Good luck.
Thought about Gamarra, Montero and Migueli but Sanchis was on a different league for me esp with his passing ability as well.
I like the second team better. Has more balance.
I don't mind doing tomorrow if @antohan has time. Monday is perfectly fine as well, just that hate waiting for my game to be kicked off and if others want the Monday slot.

I was very very tempted to go for Rino but the worry I had was with Stam and Vidic at the back, Scholes in midfield, adding Rino would ahve made it more rash. Which is why I went for someone less aggressive in Dunga.
Found this brilliant player http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasilis_Hatzipanagis
Tragic story, he was so keen to play in Greece, the land of his fathers, that he came there and signed a contract despite not being able to read it properly - he thought that it was a 2-year deal and it was, but the club had an option to prolong it without his consent for (!!) 10 years. Arsenal and some other big boys were interested, he even trained with the gunners, but Iraklis didn't want to sell him - the fans threatened the club management.
Never played for Greece too, as he played 6 games for USSR before the move.
He looks immensely talented
This was him on "Who wants to be a Millionaire?".

Aye, there's one very obvious choice that would be awesome behind Henry, and is powerful enough in the air to make the most of Beckham's crosses too. I hope he goes for him.
Who's this mate, Drogba?
No mate, I was thinking of Cantona. Even on a Utd forum, his record outside the Premier League might limit him as a vote winner for many, but Cantona and Henry is a dream partnership for me in a classic 4-4-2. If I remember correctly at that stage your line up would have been
-----------------------GK------------------------
RB--------------CB---------CB------------Junior
Beckham---Neeskens---Mascherano---Nedved
--------------Cantona---Henry-----------------
It just seemed to have a lovely balance to it, reminiscent of some of the best Utd and Arsenal PL-era teams.
I agree that The King would have suited Henry well - excellent combination of vision, finesse, speed and clinical finishing between the pair of 'em.
The problem with the classic 4-4-2 is that it requires one hell of a CM pairing for it to be effective (in this context, I mean, not in the real word), as you're likely to come up against opponents with all manner of world beaters in the middle of the park. Neeskens is one of the best - and most complete - central midfielders of all time for my money. Mascherano...not so much. A very good player in the right role - but he's not a good enough allround footballer to impress anyone as part of a CM duo. Or so I would think.
So Monday is preferable, if not then Tuesday @Edgar Allan PillowI can play whenever
