Transfer fantasy draft

I remember that. Denmark still needed a point to qualify for the worldcup in '86. Hoeneß came up with the idea that he should play both games. The Danish coach agreed to sub him off as soon as the game is decided and Hoeneß waited on the sidelines to bring him home as soon as possible. In the 2nd half Denmark took the lead, Lerby ran off the pitch and they had a police escort to the airport, private jet to Düsseldorf and then by car to Bochum. A few km away from the Stadium they drove into a traffic jam and Lerby jumped out of the car and ran the last 2 km. He arrived 5 minutes before the game started and Udo Lattek told him he's too late, he can't start in the game :lol:. I think he was subbed on in the 2nd half, the game ended in a draw and had to be replayed 5 days later.

Mental stuff.

He was indeed.

Goes to show what a cracking player he was that the teams would go to such great extents to fit him in, and that he was willing to put himself through that. The average modern player would have sat on his arse and blame the traffic jam.

I was thinking about that midfield with Matthäus earlier today... what a bastard of a midfield. I'd argue Lerby was actually the better player back then, even in '86, and it takes Matthäus highest peak around Italia '90 to surpass him. IIRC Lerby took free kicks, not Matthäus, tells you a thing or two about the sort of rocket he was capable of producing.

The simple fact he was brought on as the successor to Breitner and that he didn't disappoint goes a long way to know roughly what his actual level/standing was int he game.
 
Ffs. I really want to have him in my team now. Is he still available?

/edit: Aldo :mad:.

On a more serious note, he was a truely shit coach. Worst ever at the club. Good thing is that he realised it and never tried it again after we fired him.
 
No, 10 is minimum.

I can buy a player from someone else from 5 but don't see why anyone would sell me a player for 5.

I'll let you have Careca for a fiver, man!

But you don't need him. And on second thoughts you can't have him. I need backup - Fat Ron is prone to partying and whatnot.

Remember those Barca kiddies crying and complaining because they had to take a luxury bus tour to Italy ahead of the away leg against Inter, when the ash cloud made it impossible to fly? Bunch of crybabies.

The average modern day so-called world class central midfielder - who can't play for shit in anything but a set-up designed to make up for his bloody obvious deficiencies - would have cried like a girl because nobody remembered his birthday.
 
Yeah, Annah ate shit. Not really, Klinsmann works for me in that setup.
:mad: On a serious note, I thought about Careca at the start if my other options were pushed up in price. But 10 millions for Klinsmann who suits the system perfectly as he played with Sammer as a libero for so long is well worth it.

Works his socks off in the defense and offensively he doesn't require the ball at his feet to bully defenders with great runs and physicality. Won't steal Maradona's show.

Is it him now working as a Sneijder's agent or just some guy with the matching name? He caused some serious muppet-trouble here at caf then :lol:

I told this before that I have a real mancrush on Klinsmann. What a force of nature, and to have someone leading the line, he's incredibly ideal. I prefer him over the usual favourite for this role - Vieri.

He was the one I had as the best non-tp in the "finisher" list when the draft started so I agree with you. As I would ideally field a player who requires as little ball as possible while still remaining equally good, I couldn't wish for a better option. Got lucky he went for 10 millions, if others would have been after some non-tp strikers in the same mould I would have had to chuck up a lot more.

Can just see him rising to the occasion with all the through-balls and clear chances he will have with Maradona next to him.

Yeah, I'd love if @antohan changed his mind again and still would build a team. Maybe together with @Pat_Mustard ? Many brilliant players available and if you go through with that remaining budget, you're in a great position to win the whole thing.

Has anything happened with this spare team yet?
 
Julio Cesar Romero - 10m - Walkin - 11:00

How did I miss this? Romerito!

Reminds me of one of my biggest disappointments :( Finding out Cruyff had tried sign Francescoli for Barca but Racing Paris asking for too much money. I would have loved to see Francescoli at Barca in the early Dream Team years :mad: Instead they went for Romerito, who never quite adapted to European football.

Didn't know that, what a dream it would have been with Enzo there.
 
Antohan started but decided to quit, not enough players left to make it worth the effort and change.

Not exactly. As I told you, I was only going to start if there was a possibility of building that side around Michael Laudrup. As trippy wasn't answering I asked crappy if he would be fine waiting a wee bit on the Sagnol deal when it re-emerged (I thought my trippy deadline was Stam at around 4pm today). He said if I wanted him I should bid, which is why we ended up with that mini episode of starting, bidding, quitting and reinstating bids before their original deadline when it would have been best to just wait on trippy. I just didn't know when he would be back online.
 
I haven't been using a computer for the past days — this is the first time that I have logged in since Saturday. I had 10 alerts when I logged on now. It's too late now, I think. Sorry.

No worries mate! Learning experience.

You could probably still pick a very good team from players remaining and those that others want to sell. You'd likely have loads of cash left if you made it through your first game. Whatever you reckon though mate.

Yeah, Ant-DNA, might as well pick a tactically cohesive team and hope to sneak by that way. Like pick the current Dortmund XI (they play counter-attacking football) with replacements for the weaker spots (LB, GK, RW, 10) and hope you can win that way.
