Past their Best 11

[Cameron Manning]

Gascoigne.

Definitely along with Rooney, second time obviously and Rodriguez, although both Rooney and Rodriguez were paid first time round wages.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Prime James behind Prime Rooney and Etoo would destroy everyone. Gazza in midfield, Ginola out wide.

 

[Lineker]

Wayne rooney v2

 

[perth_blue]

Walcott.

 

[Scarecrow]

Would Earl Barrett count, or was he always average?

 

[Carlito]

Martyn
Neill Williams Gough Sansom
Young Gascoigne Barry Ginola
Rooney Eto'o
​

Not a bad side in its day.

Drenthe was at his peak at Everton.

So was Pistone

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I was going to say Paul Power, but even at 33 when he joined us he was still boss.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Walcott is a great shout.

 

[COYBL25]

I was going to say Paul Power, but even at 33 when he joined us he was still boss.

Same with Beardsley.

Proper class.

 

[Jokerdan]

Drenthe was at his peak at Everton.

ADVM was at his beak at Everton

 

[aglee]

Would Earl Barrett count, or was he always average?

Don't remember him ever achieving average

 

[MACCA75]

Having no doubt spent absolute fortunes on past their best players (or simply in the twilight of their careers) , what do you think would have been the best line up had we bought them at the peak of their powers?

Surely you start Rooney, absolutely first name on the sheet.

idk, Prime Eto as No 9 is hard to displace, so then it’s a toss up at no10 between Prime Rooney and Prime James…. That’s not so easy for me to argue.

Play James wide instead of Van Der Meyde!
