This is harder than it looks really.

 

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?

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.

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.

Do you not rate Mick Mills (although granted he played a lot as RB), Wayne Bridge or Gareth Bale?

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.

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.

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

Subbed Berkovic for Kachloul

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

 

I'm glad to hear my contributions are appreciated here.
