Sideshow Tim 110 Posted May 27, 2009 We''ve given a fair bit of stick to various players over the years. The question i present is which of these players, over the past 5 years, would you have in our team now?I''ll start the ball rolling with Gary Holt Before anybody mentions it, i know it''s a pointless post but, hey, it''s something a little different.

chicken 0 Posted May 27, 2009 I take it you are talking about players in their prime when playing for us and not players that are still kicking about?Iwan, Green, Francis, Holt and Huckerby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Allman 1 Posted May 27, 2009 [quote user="I am a Banana"]etuhu, look at him in fulhams team![/quote]According to my Fulham mate, who follows them home and away, Dickson Etuhu has been poor for them since he''s been in the team. He scored a good goal at Man City when he was playing against his brother, but apart from that he''s not got involved, drifted through games, and the number of forward passes he has made can be counted on the finger of, er, one finger.Same old Dickson I''m afraid.

Scooby 0 Posted May 27, 2009 [quote user="I am a Banana"]Kenton! - now theres a right back[/quote]Yup, I''ll second that. Didn''t realise Bellamy played for us within the last 5 years though [*-)]I''d go for Greeno and Malky (just creeps in the 5 years I think). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O.T.B.C 0 Posted May 27, 2009 I would go for Malky. Would bring some good old fashioned passion. One big mistake that Worthy made when we went to the Prem, he could have kept him and he could have done a job and certainly if played, then the Fulham game would have not gone that way.

[/quote]And to think some people really rate Hodgson as a manager[;)]But seriously, I think some players just never win over fans where as some worse players are heroes. Etuhu has had two Premier League clubs while Paul McVeigh went to Luton. Don''t get me wrong, I loved him Paul McVeigh too but most fans really thought those players would have gone in the totally opposite directions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,533 Posted May 28, 2009 Oh and to answer the original question, I''d take them all back now, every single one of them. Peter Thorne included! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Camuldonum 0 Posted May 28, 2009 I''d say not a player but Nigel Worthington given where you were in the Championship League at the time. Mind you, Newcastle got shot of Sir Bobby cos they were only fifth.Hmmm.....fan power?[+o(]Who knows, apart from the current value of hindsight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
