It would be really interesting to have him as an Orthodox icon but I don't think anyone over here knows that Southampton is "Saints".

We don't say 'diving' for this, we say 'acting'. My first idea was to show him as a Shakespearean actor... but instead I told the artist to draw a hand coming from the side and poking Busquets with a finger. And he acts like someone broke his spine. Not sure how will that work out.

I want to say have Ljajic running to a toilet from when he had to be subbed off to take a poo poo (the Serie A thread title is Mihajlovic's press conference response) but it might be too obscure.

There was also the time Delio Rossi (his manager at Fiorentina) punched him during a match after he mouthed off to him so maybe a black eye or something?

Not sure if you've read this thread but the vibe is incredibly obscure references that no one knows about being put forward as obvious choices for a sticker album for kids, see Vincent Kompany in a suit because he opened a restaurant in Belgium or some dumb poo poo

I need 70-100 "stories" (instructions to artist how to draw) and most of the players don't have much interesting about them. So yeah, some of the stories tend to be obscure. I could've just assigned random stories to random players and maybe kids wouldn't care but the publisher prefers this way and so do I even though it's more work.

I went with Farfán, Guerrero, Yotún, and Rodríguez. Guerrero will be an Inca warrior and Farfán will get a picture of a seal on his kit since that's supposedly his nickname. I have room for one more!

I'm not criticising you, more ridiculing dumb incredibly obscured suggestions that even people who closely follow football have no idea about.

Kompany is injured all the time and has a giant head put him on crutches and draw him like a bobble head.

Lol relax. Dude asked for info about certain players and other posters gave that information. Yeah, some of it is really obscure but that'll probably add a lot more variety to the album.
Because let's face it, you can just draw almost any footballer as a tattooed/diving/injured guy with a stupid haircut.
And it's also interesting to see what players are known for in other countries imo.

Here's my Portugal. Given that they are European champions and all, there's very little interesting stuff about the players.

Rui Patrício

João Mário

Bernardo Silva

Cédric Soares

José Fonte

But for those three countries I'm drawing a blank. Mexico have an eagle in their FA crest but we already have eagles for a bunch of other countries.

Snowflake, really? It could be dashcam, or a bottle of vodka, or a senator shooting in a hotel while under coke, or a policeman raping a suspect with a bottle of champagne, or a Buk, or an army of fans forced to remain at the stadium for 2 hours after the game has ended, yet you choose snowflake?

In the mean time I changed my mind and put bear instead. These are all a little complicated. :) Except for the bottle but that could be a Polish symbol too.

Dressed like a muay thay fighter

Cristiano Ronaldo

Face like the infamous Madeira bust

Rui Patrício
- Saint

João Mário
- a ballerina, so give him stilettos or something, since he's always very very light on his feet
Also, huge lips

Bernardo Silva
- Jesus said, when Bernardo was in benfica, most Benfica academy players would have to be born 10 times to be good enough to play for the main team. Meanwhile Bernardo was ignored and sold and now he's pretty good. Maybe have 10 graves behind him? Dunno, don't know much about him

Cédric Soares
This is a hard one, only thing I know is Filipa Brandão is extremely hot.

José Fonte
No idea, he's got a striker brother


William Carvalho
Most if not all riffs on him is on him being slowwww as hell, due to some games he's had. So make him not be in the sticker, but in the background, still coming to the sticker and being late (that means an empty sticker though)

Ricardo Quaresma
- looks like a criminal

João Moutinho

Here we are! Featuring goon suggestions:

- Kendall Waston trying to look badass
- Raheem Sterling running like a woman / camp velociraptor
- De Bruyne has steam coming out of his ears
- Cavani as a robot with wild long hair
- Mile Jedinak as a Spartan from Frank Snyder's 300
- Lichtsteiner looking like a mentalist but also a train
- David De Gea with a llama
- Ronaldo airport statue on the Portugal flag
- Sloth on the Costa Rica flag
- Pepe dressed like a muay thay fighter
- William Carvalho with cobweb between legs

And other fun poo poo like Suarez as a vampire chasing other players, Busquets falling apart after being touched, Boateng tearing the ball in two, etc. We tried to do Hazard in anime style but it didn't work out. I considered putting Bradley / Dempsey / Altidore on the "players we'll be missing" page but they are unknown here. So no Americans in the album. It later occurred to me that we could've had put Pulisic.

Thanks again for everyone for suggestions. If you're still interested I can mail some albums but there are no pictures of the players in the album itself. I can mail you sticker packets too but if you're interested in e.g. Sterling odds of getting him are slim. That's why kids buy piles of stickers and trade with friends.

We're selling in Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia, and in two weeks we'll be in Macedonia too. Maybe some other countries (I heard Romania and Iran mentioned) but that's not too likely.

I'll post some pictures over the weekend. :)

You wouldn't believe it but there are already two more almost identical album projects competing with us! One is from our evil enemies who were once part of the same company. Their project is decent but we clinched an exclusive deal with the biggest Croatian newsstand distributor so it's an uneven battle. The third album looks amateurish, I haven't seen it properly yet. And this is all before the official Panini album which will as always feature photographs, not caricatures.
