The World Draft Discussion Thread II

[Teso Dos Bichos]

Currently a slight mess, as we have been delayed but hopefully we will catch up.

[afgrijselijkheid]

Alex, Marquez, and Van Buyten were all defenders we had rated highly.


ditto

[stevieg987]

Im still shocked this one player hasnt been taken yet....

Maybe he isnt as good as I initially rated him.

[Bilbao Lion]

I'm here, I'll pick in a few minutes, I haven't made a decision yet.

[The Double]

Nobody's a bigger Vicente fan then me, but his recent injury troubles kinda swayed Johno and I to pick Villa, simply because he's on fire at the moment.

Love the Alex pick.

[Teso Dos Bichos]

I agree with the first part, but I have always felt that Alex is far too slow.

I agree with the first part, but I have always felt that Alex is far too slow.Parreira agrees with you (for those who wonder why he hasn't been called up more often).

[SirManchester]

Parreira agrees with you (for those who wonder why he hasn't been called up more often).

He can't possibly be a worse choice than ***** ***** and ****.

alex's supposed lack of speed is exaggerated, and considering he's center back, pretty nitpicky in the first place - he is more skilled and nimble than given credit for outside of holland

[benni...]

Teso that was a brilliant pick. I think he was the best defender in the draft after I picked Rio, and I was aiming for him. No one in here mentioned anything about him, or judging from picks I thought he would come back down to me. Well, my second lesson of the draft that I learned.... Roll on draft...

[RuffRyder]

I was planning to take Van Buyten over Alex, but I obviously did not get the chance.

Alex was going to be my back up pick had Van Buyten been taken. :(

Want to explain?

[RuffRyder]

Want to explain?
Has something to do with Rio being the best at something good perhaps.

[afgrijselijkheid]

Want to explain?
van buyten and rio are excellent, no doubt, but there were three better defender picks between those selections

[nirvaanfc]

Daniel Van Buyten... this year.

Carlos Puyol will be envy of every team next.

Daniel Van Buyten i bet now u see what playing at Nirvaan Dhanrajh FC for just a season could do?

Nirvaan Dhanrajh FC 2006
1)Carlos Puyol
2)Zinedine Zidane

Accepting applications from players who wanna be great, only 14 spots left!

Thats a discussion for another thread....Anyone who has actually watched him consistantly this season would have a far more accurate opinion of him, unless he or she is biased. Not calling anyone out, just saying.

[Teso Dos Bichos]

So am I biased?

[United Forever]

I hope I can pick soon enough. Billy has my pick anyway. I hope he lands to me!
