I think we have to now. You can't keep postponing itYeah, we can't end a deadline before all manager slots are filled can we?
Or get @antohan back? I don't agree with his tactics, because of the risk. If it backfires he ends up with so much fines and we end up with a team less. But in all fairness to him, it still is a valid strategy! I do not agree with his 'kicking out' if that's what happened!
I think antohan can be brought back in if he signs up to the gentleman agreement bit

I almost put in a bid for Pep, issue is having him restricts the formation badly. You need a midfield 3 to play him and I would prefer going forward with some flexibility.Cutch has been smart. He will get the midfield 4 he wants.
The question is the big three.
Nesta is the best defender in the draft so let's see if anyone outbids him. Thuram for 40m is also a steal as is Rivaldo at 60m
I'm surprised nobody else likes Adriano. And why would you bid for Figo, @MJJ?
Adriano the fat feck who had one wonder season. Good luck selling him to the voters
He was but that peak lasted one season IMO. He will get little credit for record in Brazilian league as well. I don't think he was good enough to be picked here. I can easily think of 16 strikers better than him who qualifyAdriano at his peak is an absolute world-class player, but I think Nani falls under the same category. Everybody defines the word peak in these drafts differently and at least 40-50% will define peak with a 2-3 year period - which makes these players fall short.

Adriano was at the top for 3 years, though. (2003, 2004, 2005). Both at club and national level.
Golden Ball, 2004 Copa América
Golden Ball, 2005 Confederations Cup
18 goals in 29 matches for Parma (2002-03)
17 goals in 25 matches for Parma/Inter (2003-04)
28 goals in 40 matches for Inter (2004-05)
European competition: 10 games, 11 goals
International tournaments: 14 games, 14 goals
He doesn't have the highest of reputations but that doesn't make him any less of a forward during his peak. I don't think a lot of people here watch Italian football during that time but there's a reason why he was rated so highly.
Yep he was great at his peak, and looked like he would end with a great career, shame it really didn't go well.Adriano was at the top for 3 years, though. (2003, 2004, 2005). Both at club and national level.

To be fair two great seasons and one season where you're compared to Ronaldo is a decent enough peak, don't you think?

It's interesting that Zidane is going for less than Ronaldinhio right now BTW. In normal draft, Zidane always goes for Ronnie
More AMs, less wide players, I guess. But yes Zidane should go for more, I guess he will eventually.It's interesting that Zidane is going for less than Ronaldinhio right now BTW. In normal draft, Zidane always goes for Ronnie

I bet MJJ is surprised by this as well considering he might have to fit Zidane, Riquelme and Giggs in the same team.
