Could a team like/similar to this make the starting of something good? Although im missing 5 and 17

We can all dream but please look up fantasy & realism in the dictionary.
We must not touch Chase with a bargepole!!!

Glad to see people aren't peaking

The only players we've got a chance of signing off that list is Dobson, and then only because of his previous association with Noble. It's a pure fantasy team.

Don't think there's much point in making these 'what if?' teams. It just serves to heighten some fans expectations and provide lazy journos with speculation. I know it's just a bit of fun but why?

I think it is something to do with the type of mushrooms eaten with breakfast. As the Butcher has said "what if" teams are ok for fun, but will open us up to ridicule as well from other fans.

I dunno, I look forward to the weekly "what would your ideal squad be?" thread.
