    Di Canio in his prime is one of the best footballers I have ever seen..... Would have to be him.

    A top striker would be the obvious choice, Eddie Firmani, Stuart Leary and Allan Simonsen haven't been mentioned yet.

    Darren Bent. Not a shadow of a doubt.

    Close between Parker and Bent but would have to go with Parker. We are desperate for a quality box-to-box midfielder who can make things happen.

    Sam Bartram, Derek Hales, Mike Bailey, Scott Parker, Darren Bent, Johnny Summers, showing my age and getting a bit greedy I guess.

    Good leadership ? Thats one thing that we don't have imo .....well possibly Hughes but he rarely plays.

    don't think Jackson, Morrison and Hamer keep talking? Agree Hughes made a difference on the pitch with his experience rather than his skill

    At his peak Jimmy H scored goals for fun at the top level.

    Agreed - a goal scorer can be the differencecat this level.

    Good question. On pure career form. I would have to say di canio was a genius in his prime.

    It depends what ''at their peak'' means.

    Career peak or Charlton peak?

    If the former, Haselbaink and Barnes, both of whom were well past it by the time we got them. Or Di Canio and Crooks, who were also past their best but not as over the hill as the other two.

    Or even Jim Melrose, who pretty much single-handedly kept us up one year. Or outstanding but elderly central defenders who came to us towards the end of outstanding careers elsewhere like McLaughin and Pates.

    If we mean players who went on to achieve their best after leaving Charlton, then Defoe, Lee, Parker and Bowyer (did anyone else mention him - I think after leaving Charlton he was Leeds player of the year two years running?)

    But if we mean players whose peak probably came during their time at Charlton, then Bartram, Summers, Hales, Flanagan, Rufus and Humphrey all come to mind.

    Andy Reid, Darren Bent and Jensen were also at the height of their powers when we sold them and would all be good calls.

    On balance I think Reid probably gets my vote, simply because endlessly creative midfielders in my book are even rarer than 20 goals-a-season strikers.

    Parker. At times he was world class. The move to Chelsea ruined him.

    Surely Simonsen in his European player of the year era would have been tasty too
