Ebrima: I like your lineup very well. However, I'll never pick Bill Badjie over Garba because of Lamptey's(Ghana: I maybe be wrong on the name) number on Bill and Garba's over-lapping abilities makes him a right choice in a 4/3/3 setting. Also, from a discipline stand point, Essa should never start ahead of Aziz. Essa has never been the ultimate team player. I would easily replace Essa for even Joe Sambou's intellect and field awareness. This is the team of the century and I think that's why every thing has to be taken into consideration. Not sure how well you follow baseball but its the same reason why a lot of sport writers cried foul when Pete Rose was voted to the All-Century team albeit been banned from the game for gambling and refused induction into the Hall of Fame by the league. With Louse, I simply think Star Jallow or even Saihou Sarr were better work-horses (a six in football lingo)than him and therefore you need a real organizer, its here that I think Musa Njie fits the bill. Like I said this debate will continue beyond the scope of this forum and emotions may be involved for sentimental favorites, but I am really enjoying every single posting on this subject. And Yes, you know I remember Casori!!! Thanks!
