WFC dream team (with players that are still playing)

I was having a chat with my 7 year old on the way home last night about putting together a great Watford side together with players that are still currently playing football:

We came up with this team, can you improve it and how well would we do in the prem with this team, mid table me thinks ..

Foster
Marriappa, Taylor, Carlisle, Robbo
Pennant, Cleverley, Lansbury, Young
DG, T. Smith

Subs: Eagles, Helgusson, Mutch, Phillips, ****tu, Williamson (dont like him!, but he was good)

 

I'd have Johnson there instead of Pennant and DeMerit instead of ****tu. Also, why no sub keeper? I'd have James for that.

 

Loach

Doyley, Mariappa, Taylor, Dickinson

Yeates, Eustace, Hogg, Forsyth

Sordell, Garner

Subs: Gilmartin, Mirfin, Jenkins, Deeney, Weimann

Sure, there were a few contenders from years gone by. Some of them even fly off to play in exotic locations like Rustenberg (almost) every other summer. But let's face it, all of them left because they lacked the stomach to stay here.

 

What about Big Chris and Buaben acyually, not much space for them

 

No King? What about Doyley? Not Williamson, Lee or Mike.

 

Tommy smith and DG scores more goals for the club, and Doyley is IMO a fan favourite but is not really that amazing. One of the Williamson's is on the bench.

 

My "dream" team would be:

Albert Camus; Noggin the Nog, Julia Bradbury, the Pope, Thomas Hardy; Freddie Trueman, Nye Bevan, Mississippi John Hurt, Sophia Loren; Mohammed Ali, and Jerome K Jerome

Not a great football side but it would be a good dream...

 

Presumably Sophia Loren would play in the hole?

Mississippi John Hurt would always be injured?

Thomas Hardy would be far from the madding crowd in the Rookery?

 

Which pope? If it is John Paul II, aren't you playing him out of position?

 

NZ, true there's some doubt about his best position, but then when you're infallible it doesn't much matter where you play...
