[Football] Current World XI Draft

[Hamilton]

I believe it's me next?

Sorry [MENTION=286]Garry Nelson's Left Foot[/MENTION] - remiss of me not to notify you. Apologies.

 

[The_Viper]

Pm'd Jay, see if he comes on soon.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Sorry [MENTION=286]Garry Nelson's Left Foot[/MENTION] - remiss of me not to notify you. Apologies.

No problem!

 

[stripeyshark]

On my phone at the moment as I'm on the M1! You all know why...

So with no gimmicks, and for many, many reasons I Choose Laurent Koscielny.

 

[Frutos]

[MENTION=23606]Shatner's Bassoon[/MENTION]....over to you.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Apologies everyone, have had limited access and am on my phone with appalling signal. So if my next pick has been taken forgive me.

Master tactician, winner of two Spanish titles, a champions league, two Uefa cups, and at least one fa cup. On course to get Napoli into the champions league despite selling their best player. Relegated with Extremadura in 1999, it's Rafa Benitez!

[MENTION=15934]Rohana[/MENTION]

 

[Rohana]

I'm going to get my Under-23 player out of the way. At the age of 21 he's already picked up a handful of caps for Italy, whilst attracting interest from Man.U, Real Madrid, Barcelona and most recently - Arsenal who are apparently going to table a £17,000,000 offer in the summer. The anchor in the PSG midfield, it's the "Italian Bridcutt".

Marco Veratti.

 

[Frutos]

[MENTION=26348]tomfitz12[/MENTION]

Over to you for two picks.

 

[Rohana]

[MENTION=26348]tomfitz12[/MENTION]

Over to you for two picks.

[MENTION=26348]tomfitz12[/MENTION]

He hasn't been on yet today, so I'm not sure if he's got back from when he said he'd be away on Wednesday, although he was online for a bit yesterday when he said he wouldn't be... if that makes sense.

HOWEVER, he already has a keeper, which is a position I need to fill and as I'll be away most of tomorrow either drowning my 7th place sorrows, or drinking in celebration of 6th place and a trip to Derby so I'll get my pick out of the way now as not to slow the game up tomorrow.

 

[Rohana]

My goalkeeper was relegated with 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 1995-96 season (He was also relegated with Middlesbrough, but that isn't as funny). He's very recently played in a Champions League semi-final. He's picked up over 100 international caps, reached two UEFA cup finals and has been regarded as one of the most solid goalkeepers in the Premiership for the last 15 years.

It is of course, Mark Schwarzer.

[MENTION=26348]tomfitz12[/MENTION] is still up, but [MENTION=23606]Shatner's Bassoon[/MENTION] is up after him, or at 8:00 if Tom doesn't get on.

I think we should suspend the draft till after the game so start again tomorrow, say 10:00 ?

[MENTION=15934]Rohana[/MENTION] your up again

 

[Rohana]

[MENTION=15934]Rohana[/MENTION] your up again

Had my second pick last night as you already had a keeper.
[MENTION=23606]Shatner's Bassoon[/MENTION] is up.

oh yes so you did

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Again, apologies if he's already been picked; I have alternatives if necessary. I've gone for the modern Lev Yashin. He's won four league titles, six cups and a UEFA Cup with CSKA Moscow, who he captains.

Last season's Russian player of the year, it's Igor Akinfeev.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Think it's [MENTION=22841]stripeyshark[/MENTION] next.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

You must be up by now [MENTION=286]Garry Nelson's Left Foot[/MENTION]
