Harsh on Strachan, i thought he was superb still in the few games he played for us (although I was a teenager still so maybe dreaming). I'd have Keith o'Neill in there over him.

Did you ever see Strachan play for us? did you see the game against Chelsea in April 1997? Probably one of Strachan's best performances (at age of nearly 40) also don't forget he joined us not as a player but as assistant managerSo comparing a side on Has Beens who we have signed at the end of their career v Those who have gone on to Bigger and better things

Maybe Aron Gunnarsson for the better things 11?
Kevin Macdonald.
Yes and Charlie GeorgeCould we throw Bob Latchford into has beens 11?
You mean he gave you a stiffy ? Don't be shy we're all adults on here. Ahhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ah ha ha ha ah ahahhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha haLooking at how far back you could go to get a team of ropey old-timers and apart from goalkeepers you don't need to go back more than five years. Not including Joe Cole as he made me feel warm and fuzzy inside and that free-kick he scored was magic.
Yakubu in goal
Lorentzson
Ramage
Webster
Kilbane
Baker part 2
Foley
Hunt
Fortune

Yakubu
Tommy Langley
Kevin Drinkell

With dishonourable mentions to Robert Rosario, and Lee Mills
Now that team would take some losing to!!
Same as the Maddison deal , we sell him to Norwich and then Norwich sell him for a massive profit.Here’s one for the oldies. Graham Paddon. Started with us in the early 70’s. Dropped down to Norwich and then became West Ham’s most expensive player in Div 1.
