I never understand the ‘Ince ruined the balance of the whole side’ argument. Bamford had even more freedom than Ince and nobody raised that as an issue.

GB SPORTS Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Purely on where we need strengthening and play the way that Phil wants us to set up. Grant, Easily the best keeper we have had with the ball at his feet, however the competition ain't great Mark Wright Leadership and the best centre back with a ball we have ever had Gary Micklewhite Unsung hero on the right for Eight years should be a club legend. If he was playing for us the last eight years we would be top half of the Premier league. Hardest one of all as I don't think we have had in the last Fifty years the exact type of Centre Forward that Phil prefers Rasiak or Wanchope are probably the closest. So I am going for the Costa Rican genius just because he could eat up the ground and take only half the steps of all us other mortals. Alan Hinton on the left is my fifth choice, purely because we need an out and out left winger in our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteHorseRam Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Assuming they are all at their peak and ones I have seen - Peter Shilton and Big Mark Wright - stop the opposition scoring. Wright to be Captain. Leon Osman - possibly the best loanee ever Dean Saunders - You need heaps of goals to get out of the Champ Harry Wilson - some magic Dare I say I would have had Sav (at his Leicester peak) in the team? I would have loved to see him mess with Grealish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant from 13/14 would improve us quite a bit right now. Ok fair enough, but for us older ones he cannot compare to either Boulton, Shilton or Les Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Obviously five greats from the 70s or even the 90s would be easy to say. So lets go for 5 since the 2008 relegation added to the current squad: Grant. Ibe. Barker. Hughes. Bueno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 If I could choose any players from my lifetime to fill positions I see as needing improvement... GK: Mart Poom - Commanded his area better than any Derby GK I can remember. CB: Igor Stimac - Best all round CB I've seen live. RW: Harry Wilson - For 'that' left foot. LW: Jamie Ward - Loved Jamie... if only his hamstrings weren't made of cotton! ST: Grzegorz Rasiak - Got to be one of our best freebies ever? Was a toss up between him and Steve Howard, but I think Rasiak had more to his overall game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamford had even more freedom than Ince and nobody raised that as an issue. I often think it's people conflating issues with a dash his face not fitting. The times where Ince was good for us often coincided with times the side was unbalanced; 2nd half of 14/15, Clement's tenure, Mac's 2nd stint. But the problems with balance actually lay elsewhere (thinking about it in all three cases it was quite a bit down to midfield balance). There is an argument that if you have Martin up top then you want players like Russell who are just going to look to run off him all the time but whilst you do need some of that I don't entirely buy it and we aren't as laser focused on Martin as we were then (he might not even be here). We lack raw individual skill and talent in wide attacking areas, we clearly want the wide attackers to come narrow when we have the ball and we need more goals in the team. Ince ticks all those boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamontheMoor Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Poom, Stimac, Van der Laan, Kinkladze, Sturridge. Honourable mentions to Eranio, Baiano, West and McGrath and Simmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I've chosen based on current ability (so no players who have long retired). I'd have Tomori, Mount, Wilson and Hughes. And my fifth is Chris Martin (too soon?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
