Pelle Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 From all times God Sid Platt Just players still playing Cahill (as I think he's the best central defender we've let go that is still in his prime) Milner Young (even if it takes a lot to admit that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 9, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2013 Schmeichel was pretty crap when he played for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Looking at our weak points I would bring back from my time Steve Staunton, Paul McGrath and James Milner. What a difference those 3 would make to our team now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b23avfc Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 McGrath Merson - for his pure blood, sweat and tears approach Then... Mellberg or Laursen.

8pints Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Schmeichel was pretty crap when he played for us. He did score for us. An integral attribute for a goalie The first ever scored by a Goalie in the Premiership. Surely this gives you two common ground too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 9, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2013 Don't get me wrong, I love the guy, he's one of my all time heroes, even if he did enjoy the peak of his career at a club I don't like. And yes, we do have a lot in common But anyone who left our club because he was getting replaced by Peter Enckleman can't have been that good (at that time).

Stevo985 Posted April 9, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2013 Haha I'd have to give it to Schmeichel. Mine was a really easy goal to be fair. 6 yards out, middle of the goal, only the keeper to beat. If I'd have cocked it up it would have been ebarrassing. Schmeichel actually has some work to do there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMcKenna Posted April 9, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2013 Amazed no one has mentioned Gray! Probably because Peter Withe achieved more for us than the Scottish traitor who **** off to Wolves for a bigger pay packet! You are wrong. Never liked Gray as a person but you need to get your facts straight. Ron Saunders decided that he didn't like Grays (& Gidmans attitude) and decided to put them on the market. It wasn't Grays decision. Undoubtedly Withe archieved more for us than Gray but Gray was a much better player than Withe ever was. My facts are straight. Peter Withe did achieve more for us than Andy Gray - FACT Andy Gray did **** off to Wolves - FACT. Andy Gray did receive a bigger pay packet at Wolves - FACT. Ha ha - you need to learn to read and understand - FACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Very surprised at the amount of people picking Young over Milner. Of recent times I'd have Milner, Bouma and Laursen. -------------Guzan---------------- Lowts Vlaar Laursen Bouma --------Delph---Westwood---- Weimann----Milner-----Gabby --------------Benteke------------- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hehe, nah, I don't think that would have worked out any other way. But I'm genuinely intrigued by how things might have worked out with Beinlich if we'd persevered with him. If we had wound up with Leverkusen-era Beinlich, we'd probably still be talking about him fondly today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha - you need to learn to read and understand - FACT *allegedly* Gray borrowed money for his business venture, the Holy City Zoo, went to the club for more money when it was in trouble and was knocked back. He then threw his dummy out of the pram and threatened to leave, so the club sold him. Not fact, all hearsay, but that is the understanding that I have had for all these years.
