The Third Redcafe Sheep Draft
- Thread starter Gio
- Start date
- Ish.I nearly went for Shevchenko before ctp convinced me to get Eusebio instead.Nedved and Shevchenko too, and I tried to be clever and went with Savicevic.
Thanks, but no doubt there will be a lot of people voting against me based on imaginary Cristiano not being able to play with imaginary Zlatan.
The failure to qualify for WC round? Eusebio probably is a better vote winner even if Shevchenko was great in his pre-Chelsea days.
I already had my fill of attacking players by then...
There are better players than Hagi.
I agree, but you'd be hard pressed to find 16 better 10's than he.
All time? or for that criteria?
Maybe not 16 but you could probably name 10. I get his point about there being better players but I can also see that for that specific round it was a little strange that he got through.
Maradona
Zidane
Laudrup
Zico
Didi(although not an exact 10 if not Netzer)
Bergkamp
Ronaldinho
Platini
Luis Suares(not the cnut one)
Baggio
Di Stefano
Cruyff
Messi
Socrates
Rivera
Charlton
Rivellino
etc..

If I was partnered with Enigma from the start of the draft then I would have pushed for Hagi, I always loved watching him play but teams really needed to be built around him.
OK, I take back my previous statement.
That William Foulke looks like a character out of a book. Everything about him doesn't look real, but for some reason, he is real!
Without arguing semantics, I don't consider some of those to play the same position as Hagi, but i'm gonna leave it anyway. Not having Bergkamp being better than Hagi though.
For me it was Nedved or Stojkovic from the start. If I was blocked on Nedved however I'd have only Cech and Masopust available in the pool so went with Stojkovic.
yeah some are really not in the same positions but different times, different tactics.
Bergkamp better than Hagi is a bit of a personal preference. Probably Baggio, Rivera and Netzer as well, but truth is this is the position with the biggest pool of quality players and people would probably wanted to keep it for next picks.
Also if Hagi was blocked certainly you'd be fecked in that round.
Where's @Aldo when you need to root for Hagi?
Have you done a write-up on Stojkovic Yet? I bet you have access to a few more sources than I would be able to
yep, I've a lot of sources for him.Have you done a write-up on Stojkovic Yet? I bet you have access to a few more sources than I would be able to
Waiting to see who we will face next so I can relate to it
Fellaini
So are we just waiting for the draw now?
So when is the draw?
Probably when Gio wakes up again.
Maybe we can speed it up if we all tag him?
Just kidding
Kopa wasn't eligible for any criteria though...wanted to link him with Fontaine...
The draw will be revealed today.
He was in the last criteria. Real Madrid vs Fiorentina.
That was a European Cup final, not the Cup Winners Cup.
Ah yeah gento was available, got them confused.
@MJJ you drafted one hell of the team mate,favorite IMO along with Joga's
Final team. With a room for variation up front.
Tasty.
Shestnyov?
I'm very tired, I haven't slept in around 36 hours I have edited that quote about 3 times now, there are 8 different ways oif spelling this daft rooskie cnuts name, i'll call him what I want.
Still waiting...
Thanks Mani, think I need to avoid the sheepless teams to stand a chance though, formation might be a bit iffy. I wanted this though
Cheers.
