That is true, and special treatment can't be given to him because of his status. We'll need somebody in authority to come on first before forcing a decision, though.

Comme is back and has picked Tim Borowski, while Nicephoras/GunnersBT took Kolo Toure.

Dammit, I get blamed for everything round here. I'm going to pre-empt and distance myself from the rumours that'll start next time the servers go down.

This is only the fifth pick, how can I have held it up 4 times?
Seriously people need to chill out a little bit. I have only really delayed the draft once, for which I apologised and was out of order but there was nothing I could do. I was away on business in a communication black spot, and as soon as I was able to pick I did so.
This time, I picked correctly in my window this morning, then came back on line now to pick. Perhaps I should have PMed my pick, but I was well within the rules.
People need to realise, this draft will not be over in two weeks, it is going to get held up at times. As long as we all try to be thoughtful and reasonable then it will be fine.

He qualifies due to starting appearances, games on as sub and games not used as sub.
comme should have provided evidence of that, but clearly didn't bother (:rolleyes:). The way I found out was by going to skysports and checking the line-ups (subs) for AC Milan for every game this season since October (when he returned).
WTF? It is not stated anywhere that a drafter must submit evidence to support his pick. If people had called it while I was online I would have supported it, they didn't, I didn't. End of.
As for the pick, he is probably the most in form striker in the world and given the criteria for this draft, I'll take it now. Inzaghi and Lucarelli is a lethal combination, and with Lampard behind them there are plenty of goals in this side.

If Condor makes his pick soon enough, I have RuffRyder & Various Styles' pick, so hopefully we will hit some momentum.

Fantastic isn't really one of the words I'd use to describe Kolo Toure...

Me neither but he did have a hell of a game against Real.

At this stage in the draft he is a good pick. He has been Arsenal's best and most consistent defender this season, and not only have they been the best team in the Champion's League defensively thus far (I think, anyway... they have 6 clean-sheets), as well as the third-best defense in the Premiership.

I can name 20 better centerbacks still remaining, but I won't, instead I'll just draft em all myself.

LOL, no you can't. The reason for this is that there aren't 20 better CBs remaining.
