Unfashionable players we need

[stan the man]

Andy Cole in his prime years for us instead for the Mags.

Dwight Yorke in his prime, instead of when he was nearly retired.

what unspectacular or unfashionable players from our past would fill the gaps in our team at the moment?

Suggestions below!

I’ll start with

Dean Whitehead. Free transfer from Oxford. Nowt flash, but a key part in promotion. Would add some solidity to our young midfield

Danny Batth, Lyndon Gooch, Alex Pritchard…

I don't think Dean Whitehead was a free transfer, sure we paid about 200k. Anyway he was one of those players who liked passing sideways or backwards, so not sure I'd want him. Scored one or two good goals though. You're right though he was unspectacular.

I'll chip in with Claudio Reyna. I think he fits the criteria. He was much better than given credit for.

I'd also suggest Schwarz but you could argue he was fashionable as Arsenal fans rated him.

If we're going with Dichio may as well stick Kyle in the mix, although many didn't rate him I thoght he did ok, tried hard, put himself about and did score a few goals.

If we are being sensible, Kevin Kyle was an awful player, yet would be our best striker right now.

Brian Deane, just to hold the ball up front.

 

[Coeus]

George Dobson

 

[MONTYMCPHAIL]

Can't believe nobody's mentioned Darren Williams.

50k , 200+ games, 110% effort. Great buy

 

[not spavin]

Craig Russell would be class in this team.

 

[hoolio]

Zenden legs had gone but controlled games at walking pace

 

[Ned Land]

Gareth Hall at CM to shield the defence and spray balls out to the wingers.

Also a decent cover for Hume at RB.

 

[Dash riprock]

Graham Cavanagh

 

[Scootsie]

I'd kill for Kenwyne Jones up front in this team

Why? We dinnit put any crosses in.

 

[lucky]

Steve Bould

 

[Select coaches]

Say something like victor anichebe

 

[LynchMob]

From our past

Although maybe as part of the coaching team…

Danny Dichio. 3/4th choice striker at the time, would be first choice now

Bloody hell, Altidore would be 1st choice now!!

 

[Coeus]

If we are being sensible, Kevin Kyle was an awful player, yet would be our best striker right now.

Think that's super harsh, was looking like best in championship player prior to his injury.

Main (only) memory of him is Wijnaldum skinning him about ten times before he put the cross in for Mitrovic's equaliser at Sid James in the 1-1 draw.

which he wouldn't have been able to do if the ref hadn't given a foul throw against us.
