jawillwill Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 Simple rules, pick your best all time Saints XI. Only one player per nationality though. I'm struggling, but I'll do it soon...
Winchester Red Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 Le Tiss has got to be the one English player, or can we have him as foreign being from those little French (!) islands?
Winchester Red Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 So far.... Niemi XXXXXX Lundekvam Killer Golac XXXXXX Svensson XXXXXX Le Tissier Ekelund Pahars Any movememnt on that
Saint Garrett Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 So far.... Niemi XXXXXX Lundekvam Killer Golac XXXXXX Svensson XXXXXX Le Tissier Ekelund Pahars Any movememnt on that 1 per country... Monkou? Fernandes? Kachloul ?
david in sweden Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 Left back will be tricky... How about .....Gareth Bale ...is he good enough....the next worst suggestion would be Patrick Colleter ?
david in sweden Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 Patrick Colleter at right back??? my own alternative suggestion, but he only ever played at left back.
david in sweden Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 Killer, CB ..and Claus Lundekvam as the "other CB " .

krissyboy31 Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 I should wash my mouth out but being short of a left back, Olivier Benard? Nah, maybe not!!
krissyboy31 Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 (edited) So far.... Niemi XXXXXX Lundekvam Killer Golac XXXXXX Svensson XXXXXX Le Tissier Ekelund Pahars Any movememnt on that Golac was very much a right back/right wing back! Edited 23 June, 2012 by krissyboy31 Fraudian typo
RonManager Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 Papa Waigo? http://www.thenational.ae/sport/football/al-wahda-sign-senegals-papa-waigo Also, another journo that thinks we were L1 champions, Gus!
saint si Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 Svensson and killer (also Svensson) are both Swedish
Lighthouse Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 (edited) Niemi Golac Lundekvam Hooiveld Bale Fernandes Svensson Le Tiss Skacel Pahars Ekelund Subs: Bart, Petrescu, Delgado, Lee, Kachloul, Kenwyne, Guly This is harder than it looks really. Edited 23 June, 2012 by Lighthouse
teacher Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 Most people will put Le Tissier in there as would I. But what about Alan Shearer?
Colinjb Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 GK: Niemi (Fin) RB: Nilsson (Swe) LB: Bale (Wal) CB: Lundekvam (Nor) CB: Hooiveld (Hol) RM: Fernandes (Fra) LM: Skacel (Cze) CM: Delap (Ire) CM: Pele (Cape Verde) S: Pahars (Lat) S: Do Prado (Bra) Subs: Grobellar (Zim) Lee (Jap) McCann (Sco) Jones (T+T) Petrescu (Rom) Safri (Mor)
The Majestic Channon Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 We have had some sh ite left backs, lee todd ray wallace , franny ( still love the bloke) mark dennis and nick holmes are the only good ones i can think of in my life time.

Never been a fan of Fernandes - Can we do better on that side of midfield? Other than that, the first 11 is looking good Not sure about Bart on the bench. How about Katalinic?
Winchester Red Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 Not sure about Grob on the bench - He might except a few quid to throw one in!
krissyboy31 Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 As much as I like Jos. Kenny Monkou in his pomp was a much better player.

Other than that, the first 11 is looking good Not sure about Bart on the bench. How about Katalinic?If you can have a Welshman and an Englishman in an "international" team then you can have a Scotsman and put Eric Martin as sub goalie.

Do you not rate Mick Mills (although granted he played a lot as RB), Wayne Bridge or Gareth Bale?
SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 Niemi Golac Lundekvam Hooiveld Bale Fernandes Svensson Le Tiss Skacel Pahars Ekelund Subs: Bart, Petrescu, Delgado, Lee, Kachloul, Kenwyne, Guly This is harder than it looks really. That looks like you have put as many foreign players as you can remember and assumed that Le Tissier is the best English player we have ever had. Let me put forward a few suggestions per country rather than per position (just as a start not an exhaustive list!): England: Le Tissier, Shearer, Keegan, Shilton, Channon, Payne, Osgood, Ball, Case Wales: Bale, R. Davies, Rodrigues, Paul Jones France: Fernandes, Colleter, Schneiderlin, Bernard Republic of Ireland: Kenna, Connolly Sweden: M.Svensson, A.Svensson, Norway: Lundekvam, Tessem, Ostenstad Yugoslavia (Croatia): Golac, Katalinic Latvia: Pahars Brazil: Guly Trinidad & Tobago: Kenwyne Jones N.Ireland: Nicholl, Baird, Clarke, Dowie, Magilton Poland: Rasiak, Saganowski, Andruszewski Senegal: Waigo Japan: Lee Romania: Petrescu Ecuador: Delgado, Chala Portugal: Fonte Holland: Hooiveld, Monkou Finland: Niemi Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic: Rudi Skacel Scotland: McCalliog, MacDougall Nigeria: Agboola Denmark: Ekelund Morocco: Kachloul I particularly want to highlight the English players. My heart says Le Tissier as well, but many people would argue that you cannot put him ahead of Keegan, Ball, etc.
krissyboy31 Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 I particularly want to highlight the English players. My heart says Le Tissier as well, but many people would argue that you cannot put him ahead of Keegan, Ball, etc. Or Shilton for that matter!
ExSt Peter Saint Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 I'd have a 25 man squad of: Keepers: Niemi, Bialkowski, Keller Defenders: Baird, Golac, Monkou, Lundekvam, Fonte, Jaidi, Agboola, Bale, Van Damme Midfielders: Belmadi, Do Prado, Ekelund, Schneiderlin, McCalliog, Townsend, Kachloul, Skacel, Forwards Jones, Le Tissier, Pahars, Lee, Delgado Pick your team from that.
Lighthouse Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 Eyal Berkovich, Forgot him. Uwe Rosler too, although him wasn't what I'd call good
VectisSaint Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 (edited) We have had some sh ite left backs, lee todd ray wallace , franny ( still love the bloke) mark dennis and nick holmes are the only good ones i can think of in my life time. Peach was better left back than all of them (Holmesy was better LM) Sadly Bale would not make my team as I would have Big Ron up front to take the Welsh slot. Le Saux at LB if each of the Channel Islands can be represented, if not then Skacel made a decent fist of the job, but not sure if he ever signed. Niemi, Golac, Lundekvam, Svensson (M), Le Saux, Berkovic, Le Tissier, Schneiderlin, Pahars, Davies R, Channon Edited 23 June, 2012 by VectisSaint Subbed Berkovic for Kachloul
ExSt Peter Saint Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 Niemi Golac Lundekvam Hooiveld Bale Fernandes Svensson Le Tiss Skacel Pahars Ekelund Subs: Bart, Petrescu, Delgado, Lee, Kachloul, Kenwyne, Guly This is harder than it looks really. Is there anyone in that team capable of tackling or heading?
Lets B Avenue Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 Niemi Golac Svensson Monkou Tommy Traynor Le Tissier Kachoul EYAL BERKOVIC Ekelund Ron Davies Parhars
Lighthouse Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 Is there anyone in that team capable of tackling or heading? Swap Le Tiss for Paul Wotton if you want.
The Majestic Channon Posted 24 June, 2012 Posted 24 June, 2012 I loved peach, as for bale and bridgey, forgot about them,had a few yesterday
sidthesquid Posted 24 June, 2012 Posted 24 June, 2012 Don't forget Pele of the Cape Verde Islands....
Winchester Red Posted 24 June, 2012 Posted 24 June, 2012 I love threads like this. Gets people talking without bickering and it's all football, no politics (not that I mind those but they always descend into slagging off sessions and negativity) Need a thoughtful smiley thingy
Badger Posted 24 June, 2012 Posted 24 June, 2012 Ivan golac at right back First name on the team sheet for me.
farawaysaint Posted 24 June, 2012 Posted 24 June, 2012 Seeing as good wingers are in such short supply where's the love for our Terry? Paine was fantastic and deserves the English spot in my opinion particularly if you're going to put Big Ron in there as that would be a joy to watch
ExSt Peter Saint Posted 24 June, 2012 Posted 24 June, 2012 Niemi Golac Monkou Lundekvam Bale Schneiderlin Le Tissier Svensson Berkovic Jones Pahars Subs: Bialkowski, Fonte, Baird, McCalliog, Ekelund, Lee, Skacel
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 24 June, 2012 Posted 24 June, 2012 my own alternative suggestion, but he only ever played at left back. Lost his place to Franny and had a nervous breakdown didn't he?
