reddogkev Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Out of all our former players still in the game, who would you have back? Scott, Semenyo, Kelly, Webster, or even going back to Reid, Bryan, Flint, Pack, Bentley, if you could tempt one back who would it be? I know Scott is the obvious, but I would love to see Bobby return to his roots and bang in a load of goals for us again. Any other options, or choices? And now if you were gonna go crazy for a moment, which player from the past? Now that's a tough question!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 It would have to be a forward player so probably Semenyo. Having a very good Premier League season. Scott as an alternative to add final third ability 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) Semenyo - pace and power as a single forward. Creates space for others. Would settle for Tammy or Cole though. Perhaps even Big John Edited April 9 by steveybadger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Probably Semenyo makes the most sense right now, additional attacking presence in a position we lack. Our defence is okay, plus we have Twine so lack of a need for Scott at the moment. Szmodics, Reid, Tammy wouldn't get the service they need. We need someone who makes something out of nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) Gerry Gow. With modern refereeing he'd struggle to stay on the pitch for more than 45 minutes, but he'd still manage to affect a game more in 45 minutes than many of ours do in a month. I know it only said one choice, but cheeky second would be Cheesley - he'd scare the 5h!t out of modern day defenders. Edit: Just read the qualification " still in the game"! In which case it has to be Alex Scott - the best natural talent I've seen at City in over 50 years. Him alongside Gow would be some midfield!

Big C Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Brownhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Working this logically: - The only GK is Bentley and Max’s progress is such that he’s a no - In defence would love to see Webster with Dickie but it’s not an immediate need so you look further up the pitch - No exceptional right backs still playing. Wouldn’t take 2024 Joe Bryan over Pring on left side - No exceptional DMs still playing. Argument for Pack but unlikely to still be able to do it at this level - So, on balance of current squad it has to be an attacking/box to box midfielder or a forward. - Any one of the current versions of Semenyo, Scott, Reid or Brownhill would improve us (as would Tammy but ruling him out as a loan). I’d find it hard to put a fag paper between those four, so one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 To complement the rest of squad we have, it would have to be Semenyo. We’ve missed those battering ram runs.

BCFCGav Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Brownhill and Reid are (unrealistic) hopes of mine this Summer. What with Brownhill getting relegated (and having some doubters amongst Burnley faithful) and Bobby OOC. I'm hoping they're very sentimental fellows I think we might be in for a spendy Summer with the Landown's knowing they ruined this season and fans are impatient with them.
