Emerson Thome Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 With the talk on another thread of whether Nilsson was our best ever foreign player, it got me thinking who our all-time overseas XI would be. I've used non-British as the qualification for overseas. If you think having Irish players is cheating (especially as Sheridan was from Manchester), then I've suggested alternatives to the Irish players in brackets. GK: Kieran Westwood (Pavel Srnicek) RB: Roland Nilsson LB: Dan Petrescu CB: Emerson Thome CB: Dejan Stefanovic RM: Niclas Alexandersson LM: John Harkes CM: Glenn Whelan (Wim Jonk) CM: John Sheridan (Ante Mirocevic) AM: Marc Degryse CF: Paolo Di Canio Manager: Carlos Carvalhal Not Rudi enough for you? Or think it could do with a bit of Magic Bougherra, Foresteri or Benito Carbone then post your alternative teams below. Maybe Petrescu at left back is cheating as he never played there but otherwise all I could think of was Helan or Pudil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
