Would this squad get us promoted!?

This is purely theoretical so I don't want any move on's or anything else! ;)

I was thinking if we could have kept the best of all the players we'd had in the last ten or so years (that are still playing) who would make the cut and would we win the league!

My squad would look something along these lines..

Henderson Hamer Pope

Jenkinson Solly

Wiggins Fox

Gomez Morrison Dervite Turner TBH

JBG Eagles?

Bulot Stewart? Harriott

Shelvey Parker Coquelin Arter Poyet Cousins

Bent Kermorgant Igor Watt

you could have Alnwick Button Elliot Randolph as one of your keepers if you prefer or Francis at rb if you want! ;)

Or you could pick youngsters like Kasey Palmer or Semi Ajayi...

I'm sure there is plenty I have missed out so feel free to point them out!

I want to know who would you pick and where would we finish in the league??

    Can you list the squads for the 23 other teams so I can compare man to man?

    Yeah, and at least give us some kind of indication as to the weather for the season, so we know how that will affect the players.

    You're going in quite heavy with your defensive midfielders there. I can't see any formation that has room for more than 2 of Coquelin, Parker, Arter, Poyet and Cousins. That squad would walk the league though.

    You make a good point.. I see cousins and Arter as more box to box midfielders.. which if you have attacking wingers I think is what's needed alongside a CDM. .. and we haven't exactly had a wealth of attacking or creative mids recently?? Unless you want Stephens or Adjaraevic?? And Eagles could be that CAM if you want one..

    We seem to have a shortage of depth in the wingers department! Any better suggestions??

    Agreed he hadn't crossed my mind.. there's still the question of how long he's got left.. he's not the player he once was these days..

    I was meaning this thread in terms of players as thy are now! So for one they still need to be playing and for two they need to still have their legs hence doubts over Konchesky!

    Clearly people not paying attention! Bulot and Gudmundsson are the two best wingers we've had since who knows when.
    Whether they are here next season or not remains to be seen.

    Konchesky was good nuisance value and gave balance on the left of midfield. He was a dire left back for us, when he played there. Someone on here said that he'd be a league 2 player, were he right footed. I'd go along with that.

    Alex Song, on the other hand..

    Hreidarsson also far better than Konchesky

    Yeah hence why they are both top of the list on each wing but the word squad suggests we have back ups and in terms of back up we are light!

    Sorry missed that as I saw someone put up a team with Cousins on the wing.
