Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Given Debuchy Enrique Woodgate Coloccini Solano Robert Cabaye Lee Beardsley Shearer 4-4-1-1 formation. Enrique’s defensive ability to cover Robert not getting back over half way, Debuchy to provide some legs for Solano on the overlap...drool. This but probably Speed over Cabaye. I also remember Hottinger being shit hot at RB, but I was young, so... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I’d probably go Hamann over both to be honest. Lee in the Lampard role and Hamann box-to-box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Shiiit, forgot about Hamann. He was fucking incredible. One of the worst sales ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Batty would get in only if we were playing against Nicky BUTT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Why was Hamann sold? Batshit mental to get rid of him at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 He’d give Rafa cold sweats at night. I’m not sure there’s a modern game manager out there who could harness his talent. King Kev and SBR would have done just fine though.. Best XI (1990-2018) ? Given Barton Woodgate Albert Enrique Ben Arfa Cabaye Speed Ginola Cole Shearer Subs: Pav, Lascelles, Lee, Beresford, Robert, Ferdinand, Beardsley As if anyone would have Ben Arfa over Robert and Peter Beardsley on the bench??? Really??? Cabaye isn't fit to lace his boots nor Roberrt Lees Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Why was Hamann sold? Batshit mental to get rid of him at the time. He wanted the transfer and said his family couldn’t settle in the North or some shit and then went to Liverpool and won a bunch of trophies. Bastard. I also remember Inhoped he would break his leg and he was actually injured at the start of his career there IIRC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I recall him saying that he would rather play for Liverpool in the UEFA cup than for us in the CL league. I think he saw in the long term that the two clubs were heading in different directions - and he was right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Solano was way more talented than Ben Arfa a wand of a right foot and one of the best passers and crossers we ever had. Such an intelligent player too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Not sure why this thread keeps getting bumped as HBA is irrelevant now. He was a player with potential but unfortunately his application was awful and thats probably why nobody has signed him yet. Tbh id struggle to put him in the best 18, never mind best 11 since Newcastle have been in the Premier League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 It amazes me the people on here that put him ahead of Beardsley,Solano ,Lee or Robert. They either didn't see them players play or just have some bizarre love in for Ben Area. Wherever he's been he's been lazy and his attitude stinks yes he's got talent but my god he's not on the same level as the players mentioned Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wherever he's been he's been lazy and his attitude stinks yes he's got talent but my god he's not on the same level as the players mentioned Because he embodies the spirit of football man, the lad was a joy. I would turn up to games for him alone. He is absolutely on their level in terms of entertainment and the potential for magic to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a true HBA fanboy, KI! (Yes, I know Nobby played there before in his career!) Well yeah, because we've never had a right back in my lifetime that I'd prefer over either Solano or HBA. I don't think you need to be a HBA fanboy to think that Barton or Beye weren't as good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
