Could I ask for your thoughts draft-lovers on a draft idea that I have? I have no real intention to organise it as I've not done anything like that before but I'd love to see what people make of the idea. Could I perhaps quickly post it in here or shall I slip it in into another thread?

I don't want to build it up as being a great idea, I just don't think I've seen it before around here.

I'm bored, so thought I'd double check on what I thought. He made 31 appearances in his first season. 9 in the second. So that's already not two good seasons. He also got injured in January of his first season, and missed a month. After the injury he didn't find the same form. So that's already not one good season. I assume you'll be playing him out left too? That's where he played quite often while there due to what they had available.



Don't dead. Open inside.

Spurs forum











Plus a bit more on his position...mostly used on the left of midfield...not centrally








And a few more on how he was doing...

Ok, ok. Everone is entitled to a drunk (well, hangover) pick. Good we have 12. Don't have to be so douchy about it..

Nothing douchy about it at all, was just double checking to see if I was off the mark :angel: I would have left it at "interesting pick" until you followed up with the "two good seasons" comment, followed by your reply of "I checked Spurs forums and majority thought he was good. Enough for me"

I can delete the post if you want :)

I've played 3 draft; 1 in the newbs and 2 here. Davids has been in all three teams. He belongs in it, even if it is as mascot :D

Was wondering who would partner up Cole with Yorke. Was one of the obvious gems in this draft as Yorke was unlikely to go himself so he'd be a likely late pick while you wouldn't depend on it as Cole was great even outside that partnership.

In yorke's case, it is without question his peak was 99 season. So you can't have a peak Yorke if u play his villa version

I don't make the rules, but that would be my interpretation. That said, it would be difficult for anyone to argue those two couldn't work together when they clearly did eventually :lol: Scanvoters will certainyl not hold him to the rules either, they'll just read Yorke-Cole and see one of the most devastating strike partnerships in the EPL's history.

Mmmmm... I don't think you can differentiate Villa Yorke in '98 to United Yorke in '99. It wasn't the player that changed but the setup, service and perfect strike partner.

I distinctly remember when we signed him (I actually remember the exact words they said on talkradio) and it was a big statement of intent. He wasn't just some PL guy who had been doing well, he looked every bit what United needed to kick on. It was as big/significant a signing as if we had signed Bale back when he went to Madrid.

Quite a specific scenario again that if considered according to the rules reads quite differently to the scan voter :lol:

For the purpose of this according to the rules they are simply two good strikers playing for Villa/Newcastle. The added advantage of them working well together has not yet been tested and therefore can't be considered in the voting in my opinion.

Still a pretty classic pairing; all-around creative striker and a poacher.

Of course. There's nothing wrong with it. Anyone not fussed with rules will see the peak pairing and those sticking to rules can hardly argue it's a bad pairing even if it hadn't been proven yet. Anyone trying to argue Yorke and Cole don't work well together has his work cut out really :lol:

This for me too.


Come on guys, what the hell happened to the pace of drafting? We lost it completely!

True enough. It was considered a big signing at the time - he wasn't a wild punt by any stretch: One of the very best strikers in the league - and had been so for several seasons, for a Villa team that were roughly around Spurs' current level, if not better.

Cole had his 30+ (in the league alone) season, plus half a season doing very well, for Newcastle before joining United - so going by what seems to be the unspoken "peak" standard here, you can easily make a case for the pair of them in this context even when disregarding their United stints.
