Dismissing sentimentality...

[General]

and not choosing players who've necessarily done the best for us - who would be our best starting 11 (since Al Fayed bought the club) if you took each player we signed at the peak of their powers as a player and put them in the same team?

Finnan
Christanval?
Berbatov?
Litmanen?
Van Der Saar
Mahamadou Diarra
Murphy?
Saha?
Dembele (Belgian)

[fulhamben]

Karl Heinz Riedle gets in ahead of Berbatov and litmanen.

[fulhamben]

Andy Cole probably makes the second striker alongside Riedle as well

[Holders]

Duff
Clark

Karl Heinz Riedle gets in ahead of Berbatov and litmanen.

If you are thinking strikers it is a straight choice between Saha and McBride joined by Boa surely.

[Southcoastffc]

VDS
Finnan
Goma
Hangeland
Wayne Bridge
Moussa Dembele the First
Murphy
Malbranque
Saha
Andrew Cole
Duff

All strictly at peak of powers, not necessarily for us.

if I'm reading the thread correctly, it's the best players throughout their career and not on how they actually performed for us.

[Statto]

VDS

Wome
Christanval
Djetou
JA Riise

Diarra
Dembele I
Beardsley
Litmanen

Schurrle
Berbatov

Manager - Magath

Subs - Schwarzer, Smalling, Hangeland, Bridge, Parker, Riedle, Cole

[fulhamben]

2 left backs statto?

[Statto]

2 left backs statto?

Magath is manager so there's bound to be a couple in odd positions

[fulhamben]

2 left backs statto?

Magath is manager so...

😂

[Barrett487]

VDS
Steve Finnan
Alain Goma
Brede Hangerland
Carlos Salcido
John Collins
Mousa Dembele
Luis Boa Morte
Damian Duff
Louis Saha
Andrew Johnson



Subs : Mark Schwarzer, JA Riise, Phillipe Albert, Danny Murphy, Simon Davies, Andrew Cole, Dimitar Berbatov

Not if you are them at the height of their powers regardless of which club they were playing for at the time. ( which is my understanding of the OP's question. In that case Cole and Riedle is a decent shout.

I'm shocked McBride and Dempsey aren't on the list for most...

because it's not what they did for us, but who was better at the height of their powers regardless of the club they were at. McBride isn't a patch on a Berbatov, Cole, Riedle or jari when they were all at their peak

[filham]

VDS
Finnan
Goma
Hangeland
Wayne Bridge
Moussa Dembele the First
Murphy
Malbranque
Saha
Andrew Cole
Duff

I almost agree with that line up but in my view Rufus Brevett was just as good as Wayne Bridge and I can't allow the selection to go by without a mention of Brian McBride and Boa so I will bring those two on at half time to replace Cole  and Steed.

Id say Montella has a shout too!

Depends on the qualities you are using to judge players. I would say that Berbatov isn't even fit to clean McBrides boots.

As a favourite, I'd have Rufus every time but "peak of powers", not necessarily his time with us, has to be Bridge for me. Similarly, much as I'm a big fan of Boa and McBride, Steed was a truly great player and Cole's time at Newcastle and Man Utd make him a shoe in.

paul Parker was much better than Finnan (I hate Parker by the way) and Philip Albert would possibly get in as a Center back too
