I asked a similar question a few years back I think? If you could pick one player from each of Revie, Wilkinson and OLearys teams to complete the current Leeds team who would you choose?
I've gone for team needs imo.
Giles.
Mcallister. Almost went Dorigo.
Viduka. Nearly went Martyn.

Great question
O'Leary has to be viduka but hard not to say bowyer
Wilko has to be dorigo
Revie hunter
That’s on what the team needs imo.

? Martyn, Sterland and Dorigo.

You have certainly identified the positions that need upgrading Corky
A quality proven (EPL) goalscorer would be my choice priority
I lurve the supreme talent of Viduka but
Perhaps Yeboah would be an even more fabulous addition to this particular current attacking line up.

I can see what George says as full backs needed.
Then again so are goals from midfield?
Macca would get 12 plus and Giles would run the show.
Totally forgot about Yeboah but I think viduka would fit this team perfectly.
Agonised over Dorigo and Martyn I must admit and also Woodgate.
No Luckic Bermo?!

If choosing one player from each era
Then much needed (speedy LB who can defend ) Dorigo from Wilko era
The imperious Giles from The Don era
And Mr Mark Viduka from DOL era ( as I can't have Yeboah having also picked Dorigo fron Wilko era)

Nice picks, chaps. I like Baz's selections. Would be ideal for what we need right now ?.

Martyn - a definite keeper upgrade
Strachan - for leadership and experience
Clarke - given the amount of chances we create, Sniffer would have a field day this season.

No lukic for me! I love the bloke but martyn and Robinson were better
Best leeds keeper ever though is meslier… martyn said so himself
Mes is younger, better shot stopper or as good. Better handerling (martyn couldn’t hold anything) and far better on crosses. Martyn was god awful in crosses by his own admission
One area this team doesn’t need upgrading is the keeper!

Meslier best Leeds keeper ever baloney.
Top 4 ever
1. Martyn
2 Lukic
3 Harvey
4 Sprake
Mess
ier.

Baz Do you remember David Stewart? Mervyn Day was decent.
11.) 25 Mar 2024
25 Mar 2024 01:13:46
Yes definitely of course George. David Stewart kept well in some of Leeds United biggest ever games . European cup final, semi final legs and quarter final legs
Mervyn Day very good over 8 or 9 seasons for Leeds
Both in my top 10.

So would anyone take Cantona? ??.
14.) 25 Mar 2024
25 Mar 2024 08:30:42
I'd have him in a heart beat Dilli for his footballing ability but the thought of him leaving again at the end of the season would be too much, especially as we both know where he'd end up again!
Knowing our luck we'd end up with Maguire as part of the deal: ( ( (.
15.) 25 Mar 2024
25 Mar 2024 09:11:41
I’d probably go with Baz selection
If it’s specifically to add to what we have now then definitely Dorigo a LB and Viduka would
Be perfect for how we play now and Giles would add that little bit of creativity from midfield
. Sounds good to me.

Credit to Corky for setting this question - it's fiendishly clever!
No right or wrong answers, all 'IMO' suggestions and just look at the volume of superb players we've had under those three managers.
And it doesn't include Tony Currie who doesn't fall under any of these managerial eras!
Brilliant Corky:) )

Cleggy . much as I lurve Tony Currie, the selection of the imperious Johnny Giles is better.
19.) 25 Mar 2024
25 Mar 2024 12:57:50
In Jimmy Armfield era I would pick Duncan McKenzie or Tony Currie.
20.) 25 Mar 2024

I'm greedy Baz, I'd want all three of them in my team - how you fit them all in I'd leave to a better man than myself as there's potentially no room for a defensive midfielder. Having said that, good luck in getting the ball away from those three in the first place!

I encourage anyone to watch leeds season reviews when martyn was in goal.
A great shot stopper (not better than mes but very good) . Useless in the air… mes far better, awful handerling, mes far better
You could listen to baz and say Martyn’s better… or and I keep saying this you could listen to martyn himself who said mes was better than him!
Personally I’d listen to me over both martyn and baz, but then I’m a naracisitc ego maniac.

. or you could watch horror movies seasons 2021/ 22 and 22/ 23 when we had Count Vlad masquerading as a goalkeeper.
23.) 25 Mar 2024
25 Mar 2024 16:32:21
. p. s. any actual links and dates to this alleged Nige Martyn quote youbkeep banging on about . expect NM was being modest if he did. and said it years ago
Facts are Berm very few if any Leeds fans will agree with you that Count Vlad Meslier is 'best Leeds keeper ever '
Try and find even one ?? . good luck.
24.) 25 Mar 2024
25 Mar 2024 18:38:13
I’ll find one baz… Nigel martyn…as for finding the quote…. I find your direct statement that I may be lying an insult. True he said it last season but he still said it.
25.) 25 Mar 2024
25 Mar 2024 19:07:13
Meslier might yet develop into a (very) good goalkeeper
but bottom line is that as things stand Meslier is NOT ' Leeds best keeper ever'. not even top 8.
26.) 25 Mar 2024
25 Mar 2024 22:59:13
I am sorry baz I make you right as always what does martyn know about goalkeeping.
