A Charlton Staring XI of past players and current PREM players

addick16

This is a line-up of former Charlton Athletic Players that are all currently playing in the Premership today. How would this CAFC line-up fair in todays prem?

Nicky Weaver (Burnley), Luke Young (Aston Villa), Hermann Hreidarsson (Portsmouth), Michael Turner (Sunderland), Paul Konchesky (Fulham), Lee Bowyer (Birmingham), Scott Parker (West Ham), Danny Murphy (Fulham), Andy Reid (Sunderland), Carlton Cole (West Ham), and Darren Bent (Sunderland).

I reckon this team would finish mid-table!!!
Is there a better line up out there?

No place for Defoe?

addick16

yes good point! - as much as i dislike the selfish bum, he prob deserves a spot.

Fortune Costa Fish

Jay lloyd Samuel over Herraidasson as he's old?

SantaClaus

I'd also play Song ahead of Bowyer. Those centre halves would need alot of protection.

MrLargo

I'd take Hermann out and put in the centre-back whose just signed for Man U from Fulham - believe he was on our books as a youth.

Agree, Song has been one of Arsenals best players this year.

Song is having a great year for Arsenal and he probably was our best player the year he was loaned to us when we got relegated from Prem.

Maybe John Spector deserves a spot over Hermann or JL Samuel???

So if this is the team...

Nicky Weaver
Luke Young
Hermann Hreidarsson
Michael Turner
Jloyd Samuel
Alex Song
Scott Parker
Danny Murphy
Andy Reid
Jermain Defoe
Darren Bent

How much would it cost to re-assemble?

More than we'll have for the next million years

What no Amdy Faye!

Young - Hermann - Turner - Konchesky would be the best defence I think.

Konchesky seems to have improved loads since he's left.

North Lower Neil

I'd move Song back for Hermann, and play Bowyer, Parker, Murphy, Reid across the middle.

Hermann was never a good centre back let alone now he's 53.

Does Chris Smalling not count even though he was rejected by us? If he does then I'd have him in instead of Herman and Konchesky instead of Samuel:

Nicky Weaver
Luke Young
Chris Smalling
Michael Turner
Paul Konchesky
Alex Song
Scott Parker
Danny Murphy
Andy Reid
Jermain Defoe
Darren Bent

Of equal interest to me are those players who came through our youth system (or simply didn't sign for the youth team following trials with us) and are currently "playing" at a higher level:

Jason Brown (Blackburn)
Chris Smalling (Fulham/Man Utd)
Michael Turner (Sunderland)
Jonathan Fortune (Sheffield Utd)
Jlloyd Samuel (Bolton)
Jem Karacan (Reading)
George Boyd (Peterborough)
Scott Parker (West Ham)
Lee Bowyer (Birmingham)
Paul Konchesky (Fulham)
Jermain Defoe (Tottenham)

The teams are all well and good for football, but can any of them actually stare?
