Utd Draft - Drafting is Live!

Looking forward to see these teams set up with roles assigned, etc.

Should be some great match threads.

Also, every time I see the pick list, I keep thinking: "What, someone picked Zlatan 1st...and then got away with picking Ronaldo 2nd!"

Certainly not the first foreign player to play for us? Sartori played for United in the late 60's/early 70's.
Perhaps the first foreign player signed from a foreign club?

Foreign signing. Sartori was from the youth team.

Yes, Sartori was a youth player - his family moved to Manchester from Italy when he was a kid.

I don't think he was the first non-British/Irish United youth player, but he was the first who made the transition to the first team.

ETA Naming an unpicked player there, of course. But yeah, he's hardly a hidden gem.

Also - quiz: what do these players have in common?

Cantona, Forrest, Halle, Jensen, Kanchelskis, Limpar, Nilsson, Rosenthal, Schmeichel, Segers, Stejskal, Vonk, Warzycha.

I meant the Cantwell pick! fecking Irwin being perfect on both flanks… I’d just gone with him on the left, thinking I was then secure as Michael would be looking for a RB not LB. :rolleyes:

Didn’t think I could trust you not to take Berry either, so thought get him and I’m safe on Cantwell anyway.

re. Mount. I really have no idea what system you intend to play so I’m going to watch you finalise with curiosity.

Is my memory serving me wrong or was Mata much better than a round 9 player at Chelsea?
 
I'm guessing I can pick again. Will do so now
 
after this round we should go to 2 hours
 
David Sadler

“Sadler was known as a skilful and versatile defender who could play in any position across the pitch, and he did at Old Trafford, playing matches in defence, midfield and sometimes leading the attack for the Reds”

“Ebullient and efficient, David Sadler ultimately managed to establish himself as a regular member of the all conquering Manchester United team of the swinging sixties that went on to win the Football League in 1964-65 and 1966-67, as well as the European Cup Final against Benfica at Wembley Stadium in 1968. A dependable and wholehearted central defender, he would make a total of 335 appearances during his ten years at Old Trafford. The competitive player would always go on fighting until the very end and his aggression and sleeves-up commitment made him a massive favourite with the Manchester United supporters.”

Yeah he was certainly on the shortlist, as was McIllroy. Both good players. A lot of that generation don’t always get the wider acclaim due to the relative barrenness of the 70s and 80s compared to what proceeded and followed.
