Carlos88 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) I love their sunlun legends thread and all the best sunlun 11s of the last 30 years. Cloggers and hatchetmen like Bally and Catts in there as well as likes of Reyna, Don Hutchison, Summerbee, Allan Johnston and Julio Arca . All talked about with misty eyed nostalgia about the good old days. None of them would get anywhere near our bench of our best 11 of the PL era. No shaming them man.

Build like an all time prem squad of ours, a squad of 25 players. Philips might break into our second squad but wouldn't get much game time. He's their best.

Sima Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I reckon we could put out 4 XIs who would beat their best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Tbh we could probably (injuries aside!) put out an XI tomorrow who would beat their best: Wilson ASM Fraser Willock Shelvey Bruno Targett Burn Schar Trippier Dubravka ASM, Bruno and Trippier alone are on a different level to anything they could ever hope to field.

Disco Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Sorensen would be second keeper. Nyron Nosworthy and Dean Whitepowerhead too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Warthog Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I honestly do try and be objective when I read what's in that place, and in the past I've chuckled at the odd bit of fewm. But this... this is on another level to anything I've witnessed over the years. Every other post now drips with so much vitriol, ratcheted up to screeching point to ward off their terrible emptiness. Please, mackems... for your own sakes... concentrate on getting out of your shitey league (perhaps starting next season). Release those straws you clutch to so hard. You'll feel better!

Midfield he wouldn't make first 3 squads, left back he's behind Beresford, Bernard, Enrique, just off the top of my head. Edit.....I'd argue Stuart Pearce as well.

Chris_R Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 What even IS their best XI? Anyone want to have a go? Aside from Phillips, Catts4me and Hewlio Arca I can't even think who they'd try to pick. (Well, apart from Adam Johnson obviously :lol:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly they have spent the last 20 years discounting all Chelsea and Man City's trophies too, of course.... To be fair, I kinda have . Wouldn’t surprise me all that much if they did.

STM Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Always really liked Arca mind. He was like a left footed Solano. He was really unlucky that he landed at Sunderland and not somewhere half decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Probably fair to say most of the genuinely good players they've had aside from Phillips had their best years at other clubs (Defoe, Bent, Henderson, Shackleton ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Aye, he was a classy player. There’s a handful of players they’ve had that I’ve had here at the time they were there. Phillips, Arca, Cisse (even he was just a loan), Bent…struggling after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Arca was the poundshop Solano. I did like him as a player, but he'd never have got near our starting XI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
