    ...former PSG players or prospects (who are currently playing elsewhere) than the starting eleven we have now?

    Forwards:
    David N'Gog? I would certainly say Vedad Ibisevic, who was leading the Bundesliga's scoring charts with TSG Hoffenheim when he got hiurt last year, and is among the leaders now. Anelka, of course. Do we count the indomitable Samuel Eto'o, who wanted to play for PSG but was REFUSED a trial as a teen (see http://www.setanta.com/uk/Articles/Football/2009/02/14/LigaLigue-1-Etoo-on-France/gnid-40249/ )? Do we count Thierry Henry, who was scouted at ES Viry-Châtillon but rejected by the wisdom of PSG's player personnel people? Bonaventure Kalou? Amara Diané.

    Midfielders:
    Sunderland's Lorik Cana? Callers who watch the Black Cats regularly often ring 606 to call him their best player. Ronaldinho. Fabrice Abriel? Mikel Arteta? Stéphane Dalmat? Sergei Semak (his team beat Barcelona in the Champions League)? Hellebuyck? Branko Bošković, whose career, like so MANY PSG tryouts, seems to be replete with goals before and after his arrival with us?

    Defenders:
    Heinze? David Rozehnal. Thuram. Mendy? El Karkouri? Boukary Dramé? Distin? Didier Domi? Jean-Michel Badiane?

    Keepers:
    Landreau? Jérôme Alonzo? Stéphane Gillet? Lionel Letizi? Véron (an Auxerre prospect originally, and they seem to know what they are doing)?


    Even if you don't give me Henry, Thuram and Eto'o, I might take a team comprised of the following over our current starting 11:

    Anelka --- Ibisevic
    Ronaldinho - Cana - Arteta - Dalmat - Semak
    Heinze - David Rozehnal - Mendy

    But I'd struggle to take any former GKs who are still playing over Coupet.

    Your thoughts?

    It concerns me that players like Heinze and Cana are in your team . And Semak :eek: He was horrible in his time in Paris .

    Rudy Haddad should've not been let to go , as well as Cristian Rodriguez .

    This topic makes me nostalgic...
    In my opinion this is the best team ever, because they were successfully when they played in Paris, not like Anelka or Rnaldinho who really boomed when they live Paris. They also have contributed to win a large part of the club's honours.

    Lama (GK)

    Colleter Ricardo Roche Sorin (my darling !)

    -----------L. Fernandez---------------

    ---------Rai--------- Ginola

    ----Rocheteau --------- Weah
    -------------Pauleta

    And also : Bats (GK), Kombouré, Le Guen, Heinze (traitor), Pochettino, Fournier, Bravo, Guérin, Dalheb, Susic, Okocha, Valdo, Ronaldinho, Djorkaeff, Leonardo, Anelka, Bianchi.

    Dalmat, Semak, Kalou, Hellbuyck, Boskovic : certainly the worst transfers in our history.

    Distin : he became a good defender in Premeirship but he was to young, quickly trash by the pressure when he used to play in Paris.

    Gillet, Veron, were engaged as third goalkeeper, not to play with the first team.

    This team shows is that since Pauleta has retired we no longer have that player who can save the team when it's falling . Just like what Rai , Rocheteau , Weah .. used to do .
