Short-term Wolves XI

[Deutsch Wolf]

Bit of a tangent from a discussion on another thread this week (and I fancy a break from moaning about ticket prices and our shit chairman).

2 years MAXIMUM at the club. Loans or permanent, either are fine.

-----------------------Marcus Hahnemann---------------------

Jackie McNamara-----Gary Breen-----John de Wolf-------Barry Douglas

Mark Walters-------Allan Nielsen-----Chris Marsden------Michael Gray

--------------------Ade Akinbiyi-----Dougie Freedman---------------

Probably missing some obvious ones but that's my first go.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Afobe qualifies, thinking about it. Even adding on his loan spell.

Him or Akinbiyi...I'm not sure. I could trust Ade to stand in the right place and not think he's Dennis Bergkamp.

Steven Fletcher was only 2 years so I'd have him in ahead of Akinbiyi

Ah, of course!

Easily then.

I'm keeping Dougie over Badge Kissing Ben. Better footballer.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Sam Ricketts was my first thought but he's not displacing Jackie Mac.

Is Robbie Keane eligible? He wasn't with us for very long but I think we had him as a yut so probably not

Bled into three seasons as he played the first two games of 1999/2000

 

[AndyWolves]

Frimpong?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Frimpong?

He was SHIT

 

[AndyWolves]

It's so easy

 

[AndyWolves]

David Kelly would be my shout, but I don't see him usurping akinbiyi or Freedman

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Kelly is the same as Keane, goes across three seasons just about (played at the very start of 1995/96)

 

[AndyWolves]

Third times a charm then, Alfred ndiaye

Assuming current squad is out of bounds of course

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, can't have anyone from now (Joao Gomes would obviously get in if he left tomorrow)

I did like Alf, that's a tough call

 

[PuntsWolf]

Michael Jacobs came to mind. But was at a low level then Ken basically didn’t want to know in the championship

Used to annoy me every week, playing Edwards as a #10 and ignoring Jacobs, but then his career before and after suggests that L1 was very much his level. Nice footballer though.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

In terms of technical ability, Fernando Gomez would be right up there. Magnificent footballer, but looked and ran like George Graham when he was only 33.

[Deutsch Wolf]

Also on ability you'd have to say Vitinha, but it's not based on much he did in a Wolves shirt.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Another which bled into three seasons who I liked as a youth was Andy Sinton

 

[Lycan]

Tom Huddlestone?
