If anyone carrick. Class player that a lot of fans couldn't understand what he did.

Yeah had many heated debates with Spurs fans who did not rate Carrick at all. "What does he do?" Was always the question. And when i tried to explain how he basically set the entire tempo of a match they'd just laugh and say I was talking gonads: "he can't tackle, he can't run, he can't shoot, he just passes sideways". A lot of fans only started rating him when Man Utd bought him.
Some top class players there, but also some way over rating of players that wouldn't get into the first 11 we have now.
I'm not even going there.

Gary Lineker
This list is more about players who get you off your seat
carrick did that dribble in fight of wenger and had Arsenal crying (shame it never went in)
But apart form them it was less about him exciting fans and more about him being the platform for players to play off

In all honesty, I assumed that was a given mate. Let's just say I hope so.
Next thing, it will be 'steff in lemon bowl guides all' transfer judgement shocker!'

he was brilliant and you're right, had that aura of calm and control on the pitch...

Bingo!!!!!! Thank you!

Of that list, Bergvall has the talent and aura for me. Odobert could well have the talent, we shall see. Same with Moore (too early to tell really). Gray is (as I said before IMO) the closest I've seen to Perrymanesque.

Gary Lineker
Bergvall got us off our seats a few times last year
Moore did it vs az
Moments where you talk about about what they did on the train home and a bloke you have never met before joins in with his son saying the same thing

To me the way Bergvall carries himself he feels he is a difference-maker...I really hope that if we don't sign a 10, we play him there and persevere.
Bedfordspurs
Gary Lineker
He is the only option IMO if we don’t
He at last has played there before

Vivian Woodward
Absolutely. Not only does he have the ability, he has the bravery and self-belief to be 'the man'...
Bedfordspurs
Gary Lineker
Also keeps him higher up the pitch
Against Bayern we had that void in that space where you need the player to be

Chris Jones
Especially if he has the insurance of Bentancur and/or Sarr and paulinha behind him.
Let him take on the mantle, be "brave" and grow into it.
He will make mistakes, but as long as he learns from it he can only grow.

Which ones out of interest....for me everyone on that list would start in this current team
