Sevvy Posted 8 July, 2011 Share Posted 8 July, 2011 If you could bring any ex saints player back from any time to play in the present team who would it be. I know most people will probably go for Le Tiss Myself i would go for Danny Wallace to watch him run down that wing was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britttherainking Posted 8 July, 2011 Share Posted 8 July, 2011 HAS to be Le Tissier in his prime.... would probably singlehandedly get us out this league.... and what I wouldn't give to see those types of quality passes, and those awesome goals from someone in a Saints shirt again.

Colinjb Posted 8 July, 2011 Share Posted 8 July, 2011 Pahars pre-injuries. Completely agree. Would love to see a fully fit Marian playing as a foil for Rickie. For a current active player......

speed demon Posted 8 July, 2011 Share Posted 8 July, 2011 yeah I'd go Bale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 8 July, 2011 Share Posted 8 July, 2011 I think I'd go for Bale as well, even as a 17-year old in a decent Championship side he had 6 months of being outstanding and affecting the entire game from left back, which basically shouldn't be possible at that level. If we got him now as he is now, he'd be incredible and the rest of the team would have about twice as much space. Him and Lallana would probably be better than even Bale and Skacel, and that was pretty impressive. Shearer would be my second choice, we haven't had another striker like that with that regular level of performance since I've been watching Saints. Beattie took a long time to get to Shearer's level and has been off it for about as long since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwakley75 Posted 8 July, 2011 Share Posted 8 July, 2011 To play in the current team, it would have to be Killer. Still feel the defence is our weak link at the moment, killer in his prime with Fonte would be an incredible pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 8 July, 2011 Share Posted 8 July, 2011 To play in the current team, it would have to be Killer. Still feel the defence is our weak link at the moment, killer in his prime with Fonte would be an incredible pairing. We did have a brilliant defence last year tbf, and it wasn't just the CB's - it's the whole team. I'd like to see a pacey CB signed to partner fonte in an Ideal world, but I'd be more nervous if I was a P'boro fan going into the championship with the same defence.

I'd like to see a pacey CB signed to partner fonte in an Ideal world, but I'd be more nervous if I was a P'boro fan going into the championship with the same defence. Their defence mostly sorted itself out after Ferguson went back there - with a few exceptions (against Saints was obviously one of them) they went from winning 4-3 to winning 3-0. Not really sure what they did, their 4-3-3 / 4-5-1 still left the defence exposed quite a bit, they just didn't leak as many - and they kept a clean sheet against Huddersfield in the PO Final too. Having said that, if we took them apart, a few other nPC teams probably could too. And CMS-less they may not be able to outscore the opposition any more if that does happen.

dubai_phil Posted 8 July, 2011 Share Posted 8 July, 2011 Ah the idea of MLT in his prime playing in the NpC, what fun he could have. But in the context of adding to our current side. how about Psycho as cover at Left Back? Maybe Shilts on the bench or would it be Niemi in his prime? Terry Paine at his best as cover for AOC? Mark Wright or Dave Watson as the CB cover? Or Ron Davies up front as cover for RL? Hmmm maybe I got that round the wrong way, perhaps anyone of those with the current occupant as the cover. Hmm that would be sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic finisher, but I'll admit that the window in which he was excellent was rather brief (about 2-3 seasons). Replace months for seasons and I'll agree with you - his number of England caps is the obvious stat that shows where he was on the radar to me. Hard worker, decent straight line runner, some great goals, but nothing special regarding agility and he couldn't beat people, really nothing special most of the time.

Steve Williams was a classy right/central midfield player that came through the youth system late seventies and early eighties was gutted when he went to the Arse.
