oldtype Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 If you could have one player back that we sold in the past two transfer windows, (excluding the ones that are terrible/too old/Babayaro/Carr) who would it be? Scott Parker just been called up for England again. And while we can all agree that he has his limitations, (horrible distribution, those "stupid pirouette things", and of course, telling your own fans to f*** off) his hard-tackling all-action style seems like precisely what we're lacking in midfield right now. He'd also be a goal threat from midfield, something none of our current players seem to be capable of. God knows we'd at least all rather have him than Nicky Butt. Kieron Dyer is probably the best footballer on this list. Unfortunately, I think West Ham would be the ones wanting him back never mind us. Emre is probably similar to Dyer in that he's a good influence to the team whenever he plays. Good luck with that though. Then again, considering that we've "replaced" him with the even-less reliable Nacho, his presence is missed. Reliable central defenders are a commodity sorely lacking in our current squad, as we've been forced to recognize over the past couple of weeks. One can only wonder how many points we wouldn't have dropped if Abdoulaye Faye hadn't fallen out with Keegan. Oguchi Oneywu's physicality could also be an asset in our current backline, although I suppose if he was capable of playing in the Premiership he'd already be here by now. I think we'll all agree that the less said about Bramble or Rozhenal (can't even be bothered to spell his name right anymore,) the better. Finally, it's hard not to mention our twelve-million-pound man, James Milner. While his price tag certainly justifies his departure, he would have been a useful squad member and more often than not better than Duff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShearMagic Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 It's a draw between Abdoulaye Faye and Scott Parker for me. I'll go for Scott Parker just because Central Midfield is the area we struggle in most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 On the assumption that they were all fit, had to be Dyer really for his pace and his ability. Sadly, I know the 2 parts of that sentence really dont go together so its probably a bad choice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Faye. Parker, Emre and Dyer are crocks. Faye would have been a good foil for Colo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Solano, Emre or Dyer, providing they were on pay as you play contracts. We badly need people who can retain the ball in midfield. I'm unsure why people are picking Parker to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE5 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 you forgot Craig Bellamy Assuming you can't read then. no, I said he forgot Craig Bellamy ie to put him in the list ? I wouldn't take any player back that we have sold in the last 2 years, but that will change if we lose Zoggy, Owen or Taylor, thanks to the actions of that soopa Mike Ashley.

Jamie Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Probably Parker, seems to have done well " when " he's been fit for West Ham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 it is sad to think, but if they were fit and playing for us Dyer, Milner, Faye, Emre and Parker would walk into our current side, and Onyewu and Bramble would be pushing very hard for a place too.

oldtype Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Oneywu has always been a mystery to me. He didn't seem spectacular when he was with us but always thought he might be worth another look, yet two years gone and no-one in a major European league has touched him. Is he that bad? The lad's fucking huge, you'd think a couple Premier league teams (*cough* Stoke... *cough*) would be willing to offer him a contract on that basis alone.

Guest Heneage Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Emre all day someone who could cut a defence open with a pass and works bloody hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Faye and Bramble are both miles ahead of what we have a CB excluding Colo and would both probably make a good partner for him a fit Emre is better than all of our midfielders tbh, same goes for Dyer. Parker would do a better job than Butt certainly. Milner is no better than Duff and not as effective as Jonas or N'zogbia Rozenhal and Onyewu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
