Herd is a great pick in my opinion, as is Colman. Does everyone agree it's fair to say most people weren't really sure where to play Colman in a modern formation, therefore they avoided him? Unfortunately for the rest of us, Polaroid has got it spot on, imo.

No, that's not my reason. I really wanted him but was just too late, it's a very good pick, as is Herd. I won't say where I'd have played Colman though!

In fact, Polaroid and I clearly share similar opinions as he's gone for several that were high on my list and has to scratch off.

Thank you, they were players I had to get in before they get snapped up by like-minded folks such as Cling Bak :)

Can I make both my picks at the same time? Narnar already got a goalkeeper so it's not like I'm stealing any of his potential picks.
 
Definately is, will make my pick in 15ish min, busy with some work right now

Probably not vote winners, but I feel more comfortable taking players I know and I've seen!

Hardly bad players and in my opinion, Barthez was better for us and a lot seem to like remembering.

He was part of two title winning sides and very good in all three years with us, for me. People remember the 3-1 Arsenal game, as well Di Canio and think he was a clown for us and he wasn't.

I agree, he has undeservedly perhaps, got a bad reputation with many fans though due to those incidents.
 
You can PM me Jayvin, I'll be here all day except for an hour or so when I need to go shopping

I'd never heard of Noel Cantwell before. If pre-WW2 had been done I would be lucky to know two.
 
20 players that have been drafted so far that I've never heard of before.

Really? I'm an 80's child (born mid - seventies) but I've heard of everyone so far, and only had to check a couple for best positions. You should read up on United's history - more than anything else it's fascinating and you'll get a real insight into why the club is held in the esteem it is held in

I was born in '88. I don't know much about United players before 1985 that weren't high profile. Haven't gone into any football history that much really. I know something about the clubs history itself but not player specific.
 
Woops, I may have left it a bit late to get a keeper in. Do people think I would lose votes if I had John O'shea in there?

A good start - they update it every couple of years so there might be a new one out
