DCFC1388 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Poom - We clearly need a gk Stimac - Beast of a centre back Baiano - provide that much needed creativity Ince - goals & assists out wide, not had many better wingers in the last 20 years than Ince depite the grief he got Wanchope - pure goal scorer, would be exactly what we need now, athletic with pace Some other close calls though : Carbonari Tomori Hughes Mount Wilson Sturridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of4 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Mart Poom, Roy McFarland, Mark Wright, Those three should help with the problem we have defending corners and set pieces. While the latter two should also chip in with a few goals from corners and set pieces at the other end of the pitch. Dean Saunders, Paulo Wanchope Gives us options in attack that we haven't got at the moment and most importantly goals. Robin van der Laan, To have on the bench, just in case Rooney is not available to play. A good solid all-around midfield player, capable of putting a bit of bite into the midfield while leading and guiding the young midfielders around him.

Grant from 13/14 would improve us quite a bit right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mihangel Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Shilts, Eranio, Stimac, Wright, C Powell, we'd concede fug all and you don't get a better footballing back 4 than that lot.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt, I think them 2, Stimac and Wright would be pretty much interchangeable in our dream XI!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 It would be quite easy to name players from the 70s, 80s Or late 90s so ignoring them..... I don’t think we need that much....I’d go POOM Bogle. Te Wierik Wisdom. Lowe THORNE. knight. HUGHES. Sibley SMITH VYDRA we haven’t had any outstanding keepers since Poom. I was tempted to suggest Michael Johnson for left centre back. he never left the pitch without some and had the battling qualities any successful team needs. it has to be George Thorne for the holding role. and Hughesy as the captain in the middle we are missing a left winger. Tommy Smith was one of the best. Upfront....we need goals. vydra would be an unorthodox threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaffyRam Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Poom, Stimac, Eranio, oh Bobby Bobby, Paul Simpson (need someone who can cross a ball well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Selecting one from each decade since the 70's I would choose Charlie George Mark Wright Igor Stimac Mart Poom Will Hughes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andicis Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Lee Grant - Best keeper I've seen for us, in 13/14 he was amazing. Tomori - My favourite loanee ever. Fast, incredible footballing ability. Still miss him. George Thorne - In 13/14, he's the best player (during their time at Derby i.e. excluding Rooney from Man Utd) that I've seen in a Derby shirt. Had everything to his game. Johnny Russell - For a few seasons offered a huge amount. Was quick, had a good shot on him. Jamie Ward - We really do miss an attacker like him. Great player for us. Was tempted to throw Bamford in for the bites, but decided not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gccrowdpleaser Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Thinking we need pace... Tommy Smith would be good... Marc Reich I liked... Rasziak would do so well in this team. Leon Osman was pure class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Of the players I’ve seen first hand & what we need right now in our current line up.... Peter Shilton: safe hands Mark Wright: Aerial superiority in both boxes & first class at bringing the ball out Igor: Just World Class and leader of men Van Der Laan: Battler, Baller, Goal scorer & leader of men Dean Saunders: Off the shoulder, Raw pace and a goal machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasziak would do so well in this team. Leon Osman was pure class Poom, Eranio- midfield or full back. Dean Yates- so comfortable on the ball and tough as nails, Mark Wright-the same , Saunders. Was thinking of wide men but with Eranio any player could spend half an hour doing the crossword and scratching there balls without going down the line. He would still have the ball when they turned up. Was thinking of Taribo West at centre half for the joy of watching him trying to jink past some off the ogres up front in this league, but it would be to much.

Thinking of all the wingers we have had in the past 25 years and the only other similar in terms of stats would be Harry Wilson? Happy to be corrected. I loved the likes of Bisgaard/Smith/Russell/Ibe/Simpson but none of them would offer as much as what Ince would imo. Ince got stick for his 'attitude' but I dont think he got enough credit for his workrate and defensive work, that was always overlooked. I see why people may have not took to him as a person due to how he can be perceived but on the pitch he is one of our best wingers for years. Based on my 5 options, we would have a 3 of Lawrence Baiano Ince behind Wanchope, that would be lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf's shin pads Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I've restricted myself to players who have represented Derby in the second tier at full fitness and in peak form. Stimac Thorne Hughes Reich Sturridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimac Thorne Hughes Reich Sturridge If we were to look at that. It would be Yates and Stimac. Sturridge and Davison with Van Der Laan in the middle. That midfield with him, Powell and Carsley terrified most teams into giving us a point before kick off. You don't get many midfielders that psyche themselves up before matches watching Scarface together. ( THAT REALLY DID HAPPEN). Technically you may find better players than a couple of those in our second tier teams, but in our position with youngsters you need winners and aggression to assist them with a bit of pace up top.
