capetownowl Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I think the OP got his title wrong. If we look at the standard of the team when some of the players mentioned played then you could say they were a cut above the rest, but all teams have their better players and build a team around them. I dont think you can count loan player like Scott Carson in that category. SC did very well in an Owls shirt and to some extent propelled his career while here on loan as did other loanee. No player is too good to play for the Owls. Its how they are used and built around. Maybe the title should have been. How many missed opportunities have we missed to build a team around good players. If we could have held on to some of our players like Chris Brunt, Glen Whelan etc things could have been much different. But then if English clubs had not been banned in Europe due to scum fans just as we were entering that competition, again then things could be different. Lots of if, but, maybes and missed opportunities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll go on and have a very good career. Got a lot of talent, just wasn't up to speed with British football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood why he left for Everton. He was my first thought. He stood out like a sore thumb amongst the crap that he played with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Morgan Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Regi Blinker, was streets in front of everyone around him when he joined, the team around him couldn’t keep up with him, was in the right place all the time in retrospect should have kept him and binned off Di Canio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blinker was that forward thinking he was fouling players before they had recieved the ball .. That's my take on it .. With that forward thinking he would have made a good professional Snooker Player .. Edited September 14, 2020 by OWLERTON GHOST 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Di Canio, Carbone, Nilsson were world class players who wouldnt have looked out of place at any club, apart from those none have been too good for Wednesday since I started going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Nilsson was world class and Waddle was possibly in the 92/93 season. We haven’t in my lifetime had any world class players other than the two mentioned above. Di Canio very very good, but to suggest Carbone was world class is staggering. He was a very good player though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
