Our back five needs help, which player would you bring back from our past to sort them out?

    Fairly self explanatory, given the opportunity to bring in any defender or goalkeeper from yesteryear, who would you want in our team right now?

    Much as I'm tempted to say the John Ruddy of 2012, I think Steve Bruce would be a godsend!

    My choice in goal would be Kevin Keelan

    Gunn would be tempting, Culverhouse or bowen also very much so, but I think it's a commanding CB we need most so Bruce for me too.
    Can I pick Sutton and then shift him up front to improve our profligate finishing?

    Bah!

    Perhaps I should have made this thread, "which of our ex-players would you like to see in Swansea's defence this weekend." Fabianski has been in great form, time to step up Michael...

    He'd last about three minutes in a match today, a certain straight red on his very first tackle...<laugh>

    He'd be sent off in the warm up - pure legend !

    Keelan for me - best keeper we've ever had and we've had some good uns.

    Dave Watson, but Culverhouse and Bowen would be good as well.

    Franz Beckenbauer and Bobby Moore in their prime would probably do a job for us. Maybe even keep us up!!

    I'd feel more comfortable with Fleming and /or Malky in front of our keeper.
    Or even Polston and Butterworth than the current incumbents.

    What about Mike Phelan organising us at set pieces!

    Agree with the sentiment of many above that one is not enough, therefore Culverhouse, Bowen, Bruce and Watson, with Chris Woods behind :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Don't think I could pick just one of them but if forced I would probably go for Bowen as he scored more than his fair share for a left back.

    I'd love a Malky leading the back.
