AWESOME!
The Redcafe Decades Draft Tournament

- Start date
Here comes Anto to take my player - no doubt who he will pick
I've PMed my picks but I need to go very soon to pick up the missus, will only be 30 mins though
cnut. If I beat Theon, I would have gone far. I'm certain! Did you see my pick before posting?
The player pool is so massive. No one's going to be stuck with a dud at the end of the first round of picks.
Of course, I do like the double whammy of being at either end as well. Not sure about the first dibs as you have bugger all idea who may become available.
Aldo, you are a cnut
Sorry mate. I was contemplating leaving him for the next round but then Matthaus went and I was scared that all the top CMs will go by the next turn so had to go for him. Plus he loves his former assistant manager we used to chase babes together after the games. Not a dud - but there are many options. I know who Anto is taking. I was SO CLOSE to taking him too.
I find it hilarious how sure you are when I'm sitting on three options!
There is one quite comfortably the standout IMO
Hurry up though if you can mate I need to leave in like 5 mins

Yeah I was really in two minds with him, didn't exactly plan it from the off but I really don't think I could have had him in the next round as he's a late first round/early second pick at best so couldn't risk it. Like in the last all time draft, he is quite flexible to fit in with many different type of partners and his role's usually quite clear cut to the voters which makes it easier. Only thing stopping me was the fact that he's from the 60s and there's a wealth of talent in that pool some of which I might need to replace in later.
Inevitable! I'll take big Dunc. Let's do this.

Well that was a surprise. Brilliant player though, read sometime back that he went on for 200 or so games without misplacing a pass or something like that.
I hope he is not the good looking wingman there.
Theon pm'd me his picks so 2 minutes and I'll post them...

cnut, he was the one I was in two minds about. Yes, it was why I hated the Rijkaard pick and I noticed you also noted that so was half expecting it.
Garrincha was too good to turn down though, a 30s man you would take all the way to the final, just like your man there.
That was the one Anto, great pick
The 80's is looking pretty dry so I'll snap up these two

And.... hes gone. The man I knew would go but I wanted so badly..
Wait a second I thought Antohan picked Liedholm.
Seriously? Thought it was a no brainer. I would have taken him if I was up in 5/6th spot probably
The 30's is dry as feck
Bollocks, I was hoping for either Dunc or one of the Ronnies to be my second pick.
cnuts.
cnuts.
Surprise that he didn't go earlier, surely?
Beat me to it Theon. As you were
I did at first too! Then I saw the picture and well...yeah, Garrincha's one of the few who not only attracted that kind of attention but relished it! Next up I'll take a player who I feel has always been underrated and one I look forward to championing the cause of; good ol' Sir Bob.
Wait a second I thought Antohan picked Liedholm.
That explains your post!
Yeah that would have been an insane pick

And at least one of your starters must be from the 30s, which is where I am well chuffed. I was hoping to corner that market with Dunc, but happy for Brwned to be of assistance.
Yeah guess what I had one of the ronnies pinned down for my second pick as well.
Was never going to happen with you though. I was fairly confident if VP didn't take any of them. He did
Great picks Brwned. A Utd spine developing maybe!
Charlton is versatile as well. Very useful if unexpected results pop up later in the draft

Yup exactly, thats why he was a no brainer for you
Who is WE?

Going to be very difficult to recruit Messi or Ronaldo if they become available now...
I hate this thing that wraps up/spoilers posts. Hadn't seen Brwned's 2nd pick. That's exactly what I had in mind as my Plan B. Problem is I have no Ronnie for the other wing now
Going back to the drawing board, give me 5.

True. It is quite risky to for two of the spots from the same decade at this stage.
Yes, but I probably shouldn't assume I have anything but third dibs if I go through as it stands.
