What about Friday Boris?
Does Thursday going into Friday work for you? I'm going on a holiday next weekend
Yes that's fine. We can do that. You'll need a holiday when Weah has finished with you. The boyzzzzzz come on!
The game will be decided by a slip
Or a chip.. Big Pete never did like them
Did anyone consider this guy?
Or did he get picked and I missed him. Wondered peoples thoughts on him. I recall him having a great spell between Samp, Parma and Fiorentina

I did. Mostly wanted to build around those "non-usual suspects" great Italian teams of the 90s (Viola, Parma, Samp) so was a safe bet as a backup option.
Cracking player but in a draft context at best "could do a job" unfortunately. Speaking of, another one that briefly crossed my mind was Attilio Lombardo. A bit like Letchkov in the "doesn't look like an athlete" department.
Chiesa was one of the most talented Italian attackers of that era imo, very fast, strong finishing instinct and lots of skill/technique/workrate. Injuries stopped him in his tracks at Fiorentina after one of his best seasons. I think players like Signori and him suffered from the rigidity of many Italian managers view on foward tactics of the time.If they were around over the last decade that has been a lot friendlier tactically for wide-forward'ish players, i could easily see them piling up the goals and building world class reputations to match players like Robben. At least at club level...you never know with the Italian national team.
Aye, Lombardo was next unpicked on our RW list. He didn't really sync with the rest of the attack as a potential Robben substitute, so we went down a different route, but I'm surprised he wasn't picked given how narrow some of the teams ended up.
Yeah, didn't work there, too "midfieldery". I remember one team screaming Lombardo at me, whoever it was that had Conte on the flank and Park in midfield. Conte midfield, Lombardo where Conte was, simple.
I had Kanchelskis in my short list too.
Game on for today?
Trying to finish that but have both kids climbing all over me. No school

I have the not insignificant problem of one being a late deep sleeper like me and the other being a an early riser and light sleeper like the -very pregnant- wife.
I was going to do the writeup last night, wound up falling asleep with the hyper one in his bed, getting woken up by the other and dragged to his bed, then he kicked me out so I went to my bed, then he came and picked me up, woke up the missus, got shouted at and ended up sleeping with him on the couch. The full works.
sorry, just need to laugh.Wow, man. I can't imagine the insanity and hectic. Your wife is lucky that you can help with the kids. I have female co-workers with two little kids home schooling (during COVID). The husband totally refuses to deal with the kids. fecking chauvinist neanderthal.
Oh, congratulations! Found it too easy with the twins and decided to up the stakes?)
I've sent in my writeup @Edgar Allan Pillow
I'm not going to get mine done today @BorisDeLeFora. Sorry. Won't be back from work until mega late in the night.
Will send mine in an hour.
Neither am I tbh. Can do tomorrow
Sent @Himannv
More a case that my days as Superman and the Incredible Hulk are numbered, so going for the reset and double down.
The one regret from this draft is not seeing Le Tissier getting picked, let alone played.
It's hard because you don't really know whether he will show up at all, too much hyperactive pressing on display (or claimed, but he wouldn't be arsed with either), and you don't want the guy to get torn into anyway.
Then I actually moved to the UK, specifically to Southampton, so just went to watch him at The Dell for a few years before I even started supporting United. I actually enjoyed us getting rodgered 6-3 Spent most of the 90s actually watching Barcelona, it was only ~1998 that I really started taking an interest in United, primarily as a team I liked watching but also having that underdog/quest-for-glory factor at European level.
Fecking legend.

It was the exact same for me. The PL wasn't available back home so I just went off highlights shows. Le Tissier was no doubt the best player in the Premier League and one I always tried get hold of in the early 90s PC Calcio/Championship Managers. At some point this chap Cantona started appearing as stiff competition but he seemed to have his head too far up his own arse.Xavi said:

@TheReligion sent mine on there, tomorrow is fine for me for the sake of getting it done, I'll be able to check every couple of hours
