shandypants Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Who have we signed since Waddle that could get us out of our seats regularly by beating a man? I can only place JJ as that type of player and we all know that he didn’t have the end product but I’d take another JJ anytime if it meant we got a fair bit of excitement each game. Are there any players around that can dribble the ball and if so, could we afford to buy them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Horse Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 FF to a certain extent but he's more a tenacious street fighter / unpredictable brilliance rather than a dribbler and someone who beats his man consistently. It seems like a dying art unfortunately and it's what I love most about football, the players that do things that get people on the edge of their seats and get replayed on videos decades later. I can't think of any to be honest.. But it is 2am in the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Since waddle? Di Canio wasn’t bad at beating a man. And er no that’s all I’ve got Edited April 18, 2020 by Plonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Antonio. Even Helan could regularly beat his man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_D Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Some may say Nuhiu gets them off their seats (when he comes on late in the game) for the exit 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toppOwl Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Looking at the last few games we have a full squad that gets the crowd off their seats........and heading for the exits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the only problem with Hėlan was that he often forgot to take the ball with him! Drenthe's probably the best dribbler we've had in recent years.

What about Murphys outside of the foot chip it down the line and run after it dribble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Forestieri? Not so much recently, but in that first season when we played fast attacking football. That’s the thing, there isn’t room to accommodate such a player, when our sole attacking ploy is to launch it up to Fletcher Its not the style of play that is likely to encourage any player who wants to entertain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Bothroyd usually got me out of my seat. Infact, he rarely got me in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace and power, in reality we were just a stepping stone but was great while he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Feeley got supporters out of there seats-- and walk out . God he was awful , Colin West was Harry Kane by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Owl Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Over the time I have watched Wednesday. Terry Curran Willie Henderson Paulo Di Canio Benito Carbone Chris Waddle Jermaine Johnson Those are the players that when they received the ball you were on the edge of your seat anticipating something special could happen. Its called flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
