    This is a hard one. Can we have a team full of attackers?



    Probably still won't score!

    I've been greedy and picked a "most talented" team and "contributed most" one.

    Most Talented XI

    Shilton
    Golac Wright Svensson Bale
    Ball Schneiderlin Le Tissier Armstrong
    Keegan Shearer

    Contributed Most XI

    SKD
    Dodd Fonte Lundekvam Benali
    Paine Williams Le Tissier Holmes
    Channon Lambert

    All legends though and high goal scorers all scored more goals a season than, Keegan, Chivers or Shearer and more than Ricky.

    I'm quite young compared to others on here I guess so mine would be more modern:

    ------------------Niemi--------------------
    Ostlund----Svensson---VVD----Bridge
    Mane----Schneiderlin----Marsden-----Bale
    ------------------Lallana-----------------------
    ------------------Beattie-------------------------

    In truth though you could make several teams from Saints stars over the years.

    To be honest I was just making the point
    I’m not disputing your choice at all,, I’m sorry if it came across that way. I was just offering a few others and in truth there is still more. All of which were very talented in their own way. That is why I find it so difficult to form a single team. Naturally we all had our favourites over the years.........

    Just in case you haven't clicked on the link you have to pick from the players listed. The criteria was apparently:

    To qualify, players need to have represented the club after 1945 and have made 150 or more appearances, unless they are deemed to have made a particularly special contribution or significant impact during their time with Saints. Current players are not included in the vote.

    Yes, very difficult to leave so many great players out. Think I'd have to go for ........

    Shilton
    Golac Wright Lundekvam Bridge
    Ball Holmes Le Tissier Armstrong
    Keegan Shearer

    ****, that's nice (IMO).

    I don’t think any combination from over the years could be considered not a good team.Strewth couldn’t we do with some of those players today?
