As all of the newspaper transfer nonsense is getting on the majority s nerves thought I would ask something a little different.
From the last 25 years if you could sign 3 players from our biggest rivals Liverpool,City,Arsenal and Chelsea who would you have ??
22 Jun 2015 20:29:59
Great question Dean, is that 3 in total or 3 from each? The other issue is the timing. For example, Gerard in his prime was awesome but we had Keane and Scholes so didn't need him. So. in no particular order.
Arsenal, no brainier really. Henry and Bergkamp obviously and then probably Vieira.
Liverpool is a struggle as they have had a lot of dross in the last 25 years. Robbie Fowler was incredible in his prime, John Brnes was a United player but beyond that?
Chelsea is interesting. I'd Take Hazard today, I loved Drogba in his prime, and Zola would have lit up OT.
As for City, again a lot of dross until recently. I love Aguero, Kompany has been immense in recent years and dare I say it, Toure.
22 Jun 2015 20:51:56
Vieira, Sol Campell and Henry
22 Jun 2015 20:18:34
Has to be Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Frank Lampard for me. I've not been around for all of the last 25 years so I may have skipped over some top players but they are the ones that stand out in my time
22 Jun 2015 20:18:36
Oooooh
I'm going to base mine on who could help us most now, just to try and narrow it down.
1. Henry, still one of the best players I've ever seen in the flesh.
2. Makelele, just the type of custodian style midfielder we need right now.
3. This is the hardest one, it's a toss up between Gerard, vieira and john terry.
I think I'll go for JT. No complex reasoning, just because he'd sort our defence.
22 Jun 2015 20:18:49
Henry, viera and silva
22 Jun 2015 20:19:31
i would go with bergkamp, vieira and zola
22 Jun 2015 20:57:05
Gerrard, Veira & Henry. If it had to be 1 from different teams then Aguero instead of Henry.
22 Jun 2015 21:04:47
Sorry mate it was 3 from each mine would be: Liverpool;Gerrard,Rush,Alonso
Arsenal; Bergkamp,Llungberg,Henry
City; Kompany,Aguero,Hart
Chelsea; Terry,Ballack,Essien
I found all choices reasonably easy except for arsenal they have had tonnes of class players over the years.

Citie - Aguero Silva Kompany

Hard to leave out a few such as Kompany, Zabaleta, Vieira, Campbell, Drogba, Robben and plenty more. When you sit and think about it there have been so many wonderful players that we've been lucky enough to have play in the EPL.

United- Beckham, Ronaldo and Cantona
23 Jun 2015 13:19:18
First time poster here, I'm surprised no one mentioned Fernando Torres of Liverpool or do y'all not rats him.
{Ed004's Note - I'm a bit surprised as well. He would be the perfect striker for our current formation and would have been brilliant in an attack consisting of Rooney and Ronaldo alongside him}
23 Jun 2015 18:35:25
Arsenal - Brady, Henry, Bergkamp
Liverpool - Dalglish, Hanson, souness
chelsea - zola, Dixon, hazard
