Current Squad vs Past Players

[FJBee]

Konsa Tarkowski Toney Mbuemo Raya Sczesny Watkins. More than I thought there’d be.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

in that case you'd have to say Jordan Henderson lol

surprised no one has mentioned Prime Ben Mee though

Sadly you'd have to.

 

[Untouchable]

Les said squad, Ollie definitely gets in the squad.

Yes, you’re right. Definitely makes the squad. Not so sure about the first 11.

 

[CTBee]

Steve Sidwell maybe. Played very well for Reading in the PL in his prime and earnt a move to Chelsea (before they bought everyone).

 

[CTBee]

Yes, you’re right. Definitely makes the squad. Not so sure about the first 11.

3rd choice striker behind Igor and Ivan.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

3rd choice striker behind Igor and Ivan.

Les Ferdinand is first choice.

 

[Banana]

Les Ferdinand is first choice.

Above Ivan?

 

[CTBee]

Les Ferdinand is first choice.

Wasn't aware that Ferdinand has played for us tbh

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Wasn't aware that Ferdinand has played for us tbh

On loan in his teens.

 

[filmyfan]

Hutch

 

[BFC1997]

Based on rules as outlined, Eriksen

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Above Ivan?

Definitely.

 

[JANORAK]

If we are going for at their peak, Kenny Sansom has to be there.

No good for us in 1993, mind.

I’ll see your Arse, and raise you a Spurt. Steve Perryman.

 

[BEEcool]

Who would you take out of the current team for Watkins?

Answer was based on the 25 man squad bit.

 

[StevieSteve]

Holdsworth

 

[Johninbangkok]

Lloyd Owusu?

 

[Hippobee]

I’ll see your Arse, and raise you a Spurt. Steve Perryman.

I thought about him (and Mickey Droy!), but decided they probably wouldn't quite make it.

 

[CTBee]

Lloyd Owusu?

I loved Lloyd but he's not even close

 

[BEEcool]

Graeme Hogg?

 

[CTBee]

John Salako

 

[Boston Bee]

I’m going to limit myself to pre-COVID. The answer is probably none but spitballing…

Holdsworth, Marcus Gayle, Darren Powell, Hreiderson, Owusu, Gavin Mahon

 

[CTBee]

No one has said Stan Bowles yet. Surely he'd be in the squad?

 

[Les Beeavinu]

John Salako

Interesting.

 

[JANORAK]

Graeme Hogg?

Ooh! Scots now. Jimmy Gabriel.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I’m going to limit myself to pre-COVID. The answer is probably none but spitballing…

Holdsworth, Marcus Gayle, Darren Powell, Hreiderson, Owusu, Gavin Mahon

I think none of the above.

 

[CTBee]

Interesting.

I can't really remember his prime to be honest but I know he was good enough to play 5 times for England.

 

[BlueJayBee]

Holdsworth

Yep, he was a goal machine.

 

[londondude]

Prime Jota would do well in this team.

Benrahma
Watkins
Mbeumo
Tarks
Raya

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I can't really remember his prime to be honest but I know he was good enough to play 5 times for England.

He was good but maybe the quality of English football at the time wasn't the greatest.

I think allowing player to have a "peak" elsewhere should not be permitted. But your rules. Did George Best play in a testimonial?

And as for allowing our worst loan player....EVER as the best forward. That's at best unintuiative. For that reason, I am out!

 

[BFC1997]

Javi Venta did 11 years in La Liga at RB

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Bye then.

 

[Boston Bee]

I think none of the above.

Think all that list played in the PL.

But you’re probably right.

 

[CTBee]

Yep, he was a goal machine.

Holdsworth was good but I don't think he was better than Ferdinand, Toney, Watkins, Thiago etc.

Doesn't get in the squad for my money.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Looking like Kayode might be the greatest right back of all time.

Yeah, but against Bees (for San Jose Earthquakes)

 

[Banana]

Better than Peak O'Connor?

 

[BEEcool]

I thought it was current squad so anyone better than say Furo?

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I thought it was current squad so anyone better than say Furo?

Already been replaced.

 

[Jezybee]

Danny Boxall’s song says differently

 

[Banana]

Danny Boxall’s song says differently

To a point in time!

 

[Ghost]

Paul Evans and Sangare

 

[StevieSteve]

Looking like Kayode might be the greatest right back of all time.

Yeah, once he's won 2 FA Cups, 2 League Cups, 2 UEFA Cups, Footballer of the Year and run a sports shop.

And won the Anglo Italian Cup

 

[Rob-BEE]

I would say Raya, Pinnock, Eriksen and Mbeumo would get in our starting XI. Possibly Benrahma as well. And since we're choosing players at their peak I'll have Rico and Damsgaard as well (or is that cheating?)

 

[Hippobee]

Might be room on the bench for Jeff Schlupp? Think he had loads of PL appearances for Palace and Leicester.

Was brilliant for us in the few games he played.

 

[Jezybee]

To a point in time!

Best not to take the lyrics of that particular ditty too literally. Also claims he was “from some, town in Ireland”
Danny Boxall (footballer) Place of Birth: Croydon.

Anyway, would Ron Greenwood be Head Coach? Was our player who then went onto to have managerial success with West Ham and England.

No.

 

[w7 bee]

Herman (at peak)

 

[ruislip bee]

Paul Davis......?

 

[badgerbee]

A question dear readers. What players in their prime let's say from after 1970 ( sorry I've got no knowledge beyond that) would get in our current side or 25 man squad)?

Isnt this a question for the International Break.....
