All time Multi-National Saints XI

[jawillwill]

Simple rules, pick your best all time Saints XI. Only one player per nationality though. I'm struggling, but I'll do it soon...

[The Majestic Channon]

Ivan golac at right back

[for_heaven's_Saint]

Marian Pahars up front.

[hypochondriac]

Niemi in goal

[Dig Dig]

Killer, CB

[Winchester Red]

Ekelund up front or attacking midfield

[Dig Dig]

Left back will be tricky...

[Winchester Red]

Le Tiss has got to be the one English player, or can we have him as foreign being from those little French (!) islands?

[DarrenLeTiss]

Anders Svensson attacking midfield

[Winchester Red]

So far....

Niemi

XXXXXX Lundekvam Killer Golac

XXXXXX Svensson XXXXXX

Le Tissier

XXXXXX Svensson XXXXXX

Le Tissier

Ekelund Pahars



Any movememnt on that

1 per country...

Monkou? Fernandes? Kachloul ?

[saint si]

Are we allowed 1 per home country? Gareth Bale?

[david in sweden]

Left back will be tricky...

How about .....Gareth Bale ...is he good enough....the next worst suggestion would be Patrick Colleter ?

[david in sweden]

Patrick Colleter at right back???

my own alternative suggestion, but he only ever played at left back.

[david in sweden]

Killer, CB

..and Claus Lundekvam as the "other CB " .

[Winchester Red]

Niemi

XXXXXX Lundekvam/Monkou Killer Golac/Bale

So far....

Niemi

XXXXXX Lundekvam Killer Golac

XXXXXX Svensson XXXXXX

Le Tissier

Ekelund Pahars

Golac was very much a right back/right wing back!

[RonManager]

Papa Waigo?

Also, another journo that thinks we were L1 champions, Gus!

[Le Timmier]

Golac right back, Bale left back, surely?

Svensson and killer (also Svensson) are both Swedish

This is harder than it looks really.

Most people will put Le Tissier in there as would I. But what about Alan Shearer?

[Panda]

Subs: Bart, Petrescu, Delgado, Lee, Kachloul, Kenwyne, Guly

Never been a fan of Fernandes - Can we do better on that side of midfield? Other than that, the first 11 is looking good

Not sure about Bart on the bench. How about Katalinic?

[Winchester Red]

Not sure about Grob on the bench - He might except a few quid to throw one in!

[sandwichsaint]

Gully RM?

[krissyboy31]

As much as I like Jos. Kenny Monkou in his pomp was a much better player.

If you can have a Welshman and an Englishman in an "international" team then you can have a Scotsman and put Eric Martin as sub goalie.

Do you not rate Mick Mills (although granted he played a lot as RB), Wayne Bridge or Gareth Bale?

That looks like you have put as many foreign players as you can remember and assumed that Le Tissier is the best English player we have ever had. Let me put forward a few suggestions per country rather than per position (just as a start not an exhaustive list!):

England: Le Tissier, Shearer, Keegan, Shilton, Channon, Payne, Osgood, Ball, Case
Wales: Bale, R. Davies, Rodrigues, Paul Jones
France: Fernandes, Colleter, Schneiderlin, Bernard
Republic of Ireland: Kenna, Connolly
Sweden: M.Svensson, A.Svensson,
Norway: Lundekvam, Tessem, Ostenstad
Yugoslavia (Croatia): Golac, Katalinic
Latvia: Pahars
Brazil: Guly
Trinidad & Tobago: Kenwyne Jones
N.Ireland: Nicholl, Baird, Clarke, Dowie, Magilton
Poland: Rasiak, Saganowski, Andruszewski
Senegal: Waigo
Japan: Lee
Romania: Petrescu
Ecuador: Delgado, Chala
Portugal: Fonte
Holland: Hooiveld, Monkou
Finland: Niemi
Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic: Rudi Skacel
Scotland: McCalliog, MacDougall
Nigeria: Agboola
Denmark: Ekelund
Morocco: Kachloul

I particularly want to highlight the English players. My heart says Le Tissier as well, but many people would argue that you cannot put him ahead of Keegan, Ball, etc.

Or Shilton for that matter!

[ExSt Peter Saint]

I'd have a 25 man squad of:

Keepers: Niemi, Bialkowski, Keller
Defenders: Baird, Golac, Monkou, Lundekvam, Fonte, Jaidi, Agboola, Bale, Van Damme
Midfielders: Belmadi, Do Prado, Ekelund, Schneiderlin, McCalliog, Townsend, Kachloul, Skacel,
Forwards Jones, Le Tissier, Pahars, Lee, Delgado

Pick your team from that.

[Lighthouse]

Eyal Berkovich, Forgot him. Uwe Rosler too, although him wasn't what I'd call good

[VectisSaint]

We have had some sh ite left backs, lee todd ray wallace , franny ( still love the bloke) mark dennis and nick holmes are the only good ones i can think of in my life time.

Peach was better left back than all of them (Holmesy was better LM)
Sadly Bale would not make my team as I would have Big Ron up front to take the Welsh slot. Le Saux at LB if each of the Channel Islands can be represented, if not then Skacel made a decent fist of the job, but not sure if he ever signed.

Niemi, Golac, Lundekvam, Svensson (M), Le Saux, Berkovic, Le Tissier, Schneiderlin, Pahars, Davies R, Channon

[GAS]

Carlton Palmer on the bench.

[ExSt Peter Saint]

Niemi

Golac
Lundekvam
Hooiveld
Bale

Fernandes
Svensson
Le Tiss
Skacel

Pahars
Ekelund

Subs: Bart, Petrescu, Delgado, Lee, Kachloul, Kenwyne, Guly

This is harder than it looks really.

Is there anyone in that team capable of tackling or heading?

[Lets B Avenue]

Niemi
Golac
Svensson
Monkou
Tommy Traynor

Le Tissier
Kachoul
EYAL BERKOVIC
Ekelund

Ron Davies
Parhars

[Lighthouse]

Swap Le Tiss for Paul Wotton if you want.

[The Majestic Channon]

I loved peach, as for bale and bridgey, forgot about them,had a few yesterday

[sidthesquid]

Don't forget Pele of the Cape Verde Islands....

[Winchester Red]

I love threads like this.

Gets people talking without bickering and it's all football, no politics (not that I mind those but they always descend into slagging off sessions and negativity)

Need a thoughtful smiley thingy

[Badger]

Ivan golac at right back

First name on the team sheet for me.

[farawaysaint]

Seeing as good wingers are in such short supply where's the love for our Terry? Paine was fantastic and deserves the English spot in my opinion particularly if you're going to put Big Ron in there as that would be a joy to watch

[ExSt Peter Saint]

Niemi
Golac Monkou Lundekvam Bale
Schneiderlin
Le Tissier Svensson Berkovic
Jones Pahars
Subs: Bialkowski, Fonte, Baird, McCalliog, Ekelund, Lee, Skacel

[Sergei Gotsmanov]

my own alternative suggestion, but he only ever played at left back.

Lost his place to Franny and had a nervous breakdown didn't he?
