norwaysaint Posted 5 April, 2020 Share Posted 5 April, 2020 Stolen from somewhere else. I expect many of you remember this 2002 Nike ad. The two questions are: Bearing in mind that quick, tight, physical format Which three current players would you select for Saints? and Which three all time Saints players?

norwaysaint Posted 5 April, 2020 Author Share Posted 5 April, 2020 For all-time, try to stick to how they were at their peak while playing for Saints, so, for example, Bale was skillful, but still pretty lightweight and far from the player he became. That's the Bale you would be selecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted 6 April, 2020 Share Posted 6 April, 2020 Current - Jenny, Reddy, JWP All time - Wallace trio. Maybe two + Tiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Saint Posted 6 April, 2020 Share Posted 6 April, 2020 Current: You need players willing to get stuck in (Romeu), with non-stop effort (Ward-Prowse), and who are able to put the ball in the net (Ings). All time: So many to choose from! Svensson, Paine, Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 6 April, 2020 Share Posted 6 April, 2020 I reckon someone like boufal would be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwaysaint Posted 6 April, 2020 Author Share Posted 6 April, 2020 Definitely Redmond, JWP for workrate is pretty good and Ings is quite physical and would find the goal. All time, Armstrong, Keegan, VvD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 6 April, 2020 Share Posted 6 April, 2020 (edited) Today JWP - Djenepo - Boufal (because there isn’t too much pitch for him to think about) In their prime - I’m going to cheat and steal Sir Bobby Robson’s comment for my team “if you could make the ultimate player” You would have the strength of Shearer The speed of Wallace The skill of Le Tissier Oh to have had that combination (all in their prime) on the pitch for Saints in recent years. Edited 6 April, 2020 by John Boy Saint Didn’t answer the criteria first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three great attacking players, maybe not enough tough tackling (or constant workrate in the case of Le Tissier. Shearer wasn't quite the finished product in his saints prime, but would probably still be good in something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 6 April, 2020 Share Posted 6 April, 2020 Today: Ings, Boufal, Jenny All-time: A. Svensson, Shearer and Le Tissier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted 8 April, 2020 Share Posted 8 April, 2020 Carlton Palmer, Ali Dia & Razor Ruddock. Ruddock would be laid down across the goal and we'd be unbeatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
