[Fun & Depressing] How would we line up if we hadn't sold our players?

[mattbianco1]

I found this article about Southampton - http://www.givemesport.com/490649-s...medium=outbrain-rss&utm_campaign=outbrain-rss

It basically shows you how they could line-up using their best players they still have and the ones they've sold (this season in addition to Walcott, Bale etc.)

So,

What would your best united XI be using players that are either currently at the club or that have left or been sold?

NOTE: The have to be current players i.e. not retired.

​

Here's a quick one i've had a stab at.

Howard
Walker Jagielka Maguire Naughton
Doyle
Scougall Britton
Murphy Flynn
Evans​

We seem to be great at raising defenders. Paddy Kenny would've got in the team ~2yrs ago. Arguably Tonge would have. At the time of the sale Beattie would have most definitely been the striker.

That's not even mentioning loan players that we decided not to sign i.e. Nathan Dyer.

Over to you lot (please use "Current Ability")

I'd replace Howard, Doyle, Scougal and Flynn with Kenny, Mcdonald, Squinny and Blackman.

If I hadn't spent all my money I'd be stinking rich.

Scougall, Britton, Murphy, Flynn and Evans would be ineligible as their clubs wouldn't have sold them to us as well.

Your first team had Doyle in, luckily you were prompted on some quality players that slipped your mind.... Then your revised team had him in too!? I don't know what people see in him I really really don't

 

[FTPE]

He wouldn't fit in that awesome back 5 above but there's killa too

 

[wizadry]

Kenny
Walker Cahill Jags Borbokis
Britton
Mcdonald A.Reid
Dyer K.Richards M.Phillips
​

I have just rung Vas Borbokis up and said" will you come out of retirement to sort my lefback spot out as you are a leg-end and can also kick with both feet"he said to me "yes i will come out of retirement to help your side out,as i wasn't enjoying my role as assistant manager anyway"

Regardless of Borborkis, you've included 4 players that we never owned.

OK then. We'll put Montgomery in.

Which defensive midfield player that we have owned that is still playing is currently better than Doyle?

I can only think of putting Jagielka in DM and putting Kilgallon at CB. But that is definitely shoehorning. We play better with Doyle in the team.

Could potentially put McDonald in the Doyle role then bring in Tonge or someone infront?

 

[mattbianco1]

Just for From the pig end

Here's a team without Doyle..

Howard
Walker Jagielka Maguire Naughton
Britton
McDonald Quinn
Murphy Blackman
Evans

SUBS: Lowton, Fahti, Kazim-Richards, Kenny, Tonge
​

OK - you win!!

You never said we couldn't include loans matt.

 

[Grecian2000]

You never said we couldn't include loans matt.

I think the title of the thread sort of implied it though (i.e. the word SOLD being in there).

 

[FTPE]

I missed the dean and fjortoft sales a bit, but in my adult footballing life nothing hurt more than loosing McDonald!! I was devastated.

I think you're playing with ten men for now, Matt.

 

[S2Blade]

No room for Billy Sharp? Didn't get many for the blades, but given the chance and the right manager he could have

 

[metalblade]

One problem s2Blade,he isn't the right player for me,or i'm not the right manager for him,propably the latter
