If you could bring back one ex-tiger currently playing somewhere else, who would it be? For me, JVoH, just the sort of striker we need with the current tactics being played. Discuss...
Big Jan for sure. Another would be Stephen Hunt, he was our best player by a mile in our final days of the PL.
Parkin, JVoH or Hunt. Turner would obviously be better than these but I'm sure we'll get other good CBs in, whereas left wing and target man are the positions I'm worried about.
I liked him. His work rate and engine was unbelievable, he even scored a few goals. I saw him for Wolves the other day and he still looked great. I would love to see him on the left for us in our current team.
We need a big target man and JVoH is a good one, so he'd be ideal for us at the moment. I'd love to see Hunt back, he'd tear this league apart(I don't think he was a headless chicken at all) and obviously Turner would be a welcome returnee. I think Mouyokolo was overrated, Geo is a luxury we can't afford in the short term and Myhill(though a decent keeper) is not as good as the others currently in contention.
Jon Walters. I always thought he had potential, plenty of pace and effort just lacked the finishing which he now has!
Big JVoH and Fryatt would make a cracking combination up front, with Hunt on the left and Stewart on the right, Ashbee 5 years ago and Bullard (in his good year at Fulham) in the middle. Turner, Gerrard at CB and Rosenior at LB and Ricketts at RB.........and Mannone in goal. Decent defence and good going forward....lots of engines down the flanks...would walk the league. UTT
I liked Walters, he's one of a not very long list of players I was sad to see leave(pre Premier League), the others included Nicky Forster and Theo Whitmore(and probably a few others that I've forgotten).
This, there is something about him that opposition fans don't like about him, but when he's on your team you love him, not sure if its just from the Petr Chech thing.
The Petr Cech thing is just babyish. It was so obviously an accident and I'm sure Cech himself appreciates this but some stupid Chelsea fans won't accept it. There're far dirtier players out there for people to dislike. Off the top of my head Kevin Davies, Fellaini, Chris Samba, Zat Knight and most of Stoke's defence would fall into that category, some of them have me screaming at the telly about how they just need to **** off
Stephen Hunt, if he hadn't been injured for half of our last premier league season we'd have stood a much better chance of staying up
Given current circumstances, it has to be JVoH. He's exactly what we're missing. Plus I think he'd excel in the championship anyway.
