You should still do well here.
Was never going to get to you, was determined to pick him.
I assumed someone had to! Twice now Shearer has gone before him.
you picking soon, btw? Gonna grab breakfast in a bit. Just wondering if I should wait
Am here.
Oh boy. This is a tough one
I m just gonna come out and ask it...
Is it worth replacing ince with scholes?

It will make your midfield fecking amazing.
But I think you should upgrade defenders and Berba first.

Sorry was waiting for crappy.
The right decision to pair Keane with Scholes despite more pressing concerns I think.
Much like i had with Henry it's too good an offer to turn down. It's a pairing that has your centre mid set and would take you all the the way to the final.

There were a few teams i noted that would have looked nearly unstoppable if they had snapped him up. Yours was one of them though i think you're still gonna be very strong.
Yes I told mjj that henry and scholes will be picked in first 3 picks
Yeah I would have put money on that. Glad I didn't
To be fair to coolredwine, he had his Arsenal spots tied up with Dixon and Adams.
Replacing Veron was the most pressing issue in the team given the preceding shitstorm and Vieira fits the side like a glove. Obviously we considered Henry but after mapping out the options we felt that Vieira was the better pick.
This could end like the ronaldinho pick from my last draft *dun dun dun*
Carrick, Modric, Alonso all would have lasted till your turn. Not that much of a gap between them and vieira, whereas henry shits on every striker not named shearer,rvn in the draft.
Agree totally. I was worried about him somehow going all the way back to you though but i don't think there was any chance of that happenin as he looked a great fit for a few teams
Heh, Vieira rarely ever gets the credit he deserves. He's on par with Keano as the best CM in the draft, what he added to Arsenal as a leader, as an engine, as a technically gifted midfielder, etc was invaluable. He was as important as anyone else in that team. Modric and the likes can dream of having a similar impact on the team.
our first pick is someone to ease the goal scoring burden on Ronnie, who can lead the line, drop deep, press from the front, beat a man off the dribble, and probe all along the defense with his movement. The ever popular...
Excellent.
Suarez and Ronaldo on the counter!
Suarez and Ronaldo on the counter!
Scary looking teams here.
You were waiting for Suarez to be picked to post that, weren't you.
Skiz with a front 4 of Kewell, Juninho, Ronaldo and Suarez is frightening. Let's just hope he turns into LVG and bans dribbling.
Your pick is blindingly obvious. There will be many great CBs for your secondpick but there's only one great RB that actually helps your quotas.
Insane that nobody picked him earlier, someone's going to regret this.
Don't worry, it won't be that front 4
Oh shit I think I know what's coming here.Don't worry, it won't be that front 4
F*ck dribbling, that's as scary a counter attacking unit as you can build at this stage. Add Henry to that in the next round and it will be officially insane.
I'm still baffled at that Shearer pick. "I have a wingless diamond so I have to get Shearer upfront". No, not really.
feck off Aldo
Just saying in case, my friend. I did look at the left over pool and thought which wingers he could have gone for, couldn't really find much. Seems like he's going all in with the Ace of Diamonds.
Henry's going nowhere
Bumped so I can see what's going on!

You can always rely on MJJ and crappy to let their cocks do the thinking.
In fairness, I had completely forgotten Scholes was still around, but with that shite defence it was Ince that saved him while Scholes may have cost him the game.
We already know what all their games will consist of now, always needing to outscore the oppo.
It's probably still the right choice aiming for a final, but they'll need a very lucky draw.
Aye, valid point that. Keane-Scholes have been backed up by the likes of Stam and Rio at the back over the years.
In which case at the very least you want a forward who can provide width like Henry?
I did look at the left over pool and thought which wingers he could have gone for, couldn't really find much. Seems like he's going all in with the Ace of Diamonds.
It was a no-brainer, just get a Dixon replacement next, which he needs to anyway.
Yeah that he could have done.
Don't know of many RBs better than Dixon, tbh. Ivanovic? About it really, unless you want Neviller and not use the United pick somewhere else.
