Keane played brilliantly for us for 30 games, and more or less reproduced that at various clubs everywhere else he went in his career. What we got for those 30 games was essentially what a year of Robbie Keane gives you.
Dennis Wise had an insane run of 13 games at the twilight of his playing days where he produced at a rate that he never came close to over the entirety of his career. It was fun, but it was a total outlier, a flash in the pan, and if you replayed history, there's no way on earth he could ever do it again. Which is probably why he called it quits straight after, and why I wouldn't bet on him repeating the party trick for the purposes of this question.
Hutchinson was such a classy playerDavid McGoldrick and Don Hutchinson
Oh well shit, he better change his choice just because you think Konjic was shite then!Konjic was shite
I don't think you've read the original question. The OP made it very clear that we are judging players on their time with us and not their careers before or after. Short though his stay might have been Wise's impact on the team was huge and he was just the sort of player our team could do with right now. The likes of Hamer and O'Hare would benefit particularly.
As for talking in terms of Wise's career, and his time with us as being a flash in the pan, I presume you are talking purely in terms of goals return. Given that Wise played 15 years or so at the top level and was an influential captain to world renowned players like Desailly, Poyer, Zola and Vialli I would suggest you've also downplayed his playing career elsewhere anyway.
It's been 20 years now. You can take 2 players from the ones we've had since being relegated from the Premiership (not in their prime but as we had them at the time) to add into the current team/squad who are you taking?
I'll start off with Wise and Armstrong.
Personally think the best player we’ve had since relegation was Warnock but we’ve already got more than enough decent full backs and just sent one of them out on loan. I’d probably take Thompson and Chippo. As good as Marosi has looked in the last year another that crossed my mind is a keeper. Best one of those we’ve had since the PL days is probably Fülöp.
I would say Hedman and Westwood were both better than him.
Can see why you’ve suggested that. Marshall too would be a candidate. We’ve been spoilt down the years in that department.
