So, if you could choose any player, at the prime of their career, who has played for us in the last 20 years and who would transform this season, who would it be?
DJ Campbell for me.
DJ Campbell for me.
He is currently transforming Cambridge seasonWes Hoolahan 06/07
The number of times this season I have wanted one of our lads flooding the six yard box at corners to pull away to the edge of the area (Phillips-style), ready for the loose ball to become available. Then again, it's having the knack of knowing where it would drop - Phillips could read that situation so well.Goal poacher required: Kevin Phillips.
End of thread.
Totally agree. The greatest "goalscorer" we have ever had would have a field day.Goal poacher required: Kevin Phillips.

Going with one of our League One players adds a touch of realism. In that case, it's a toss up between Brett and Murphs.KDH would have had about 20 goals so far this season. Would have probably had as many assists too. He was so far ahead of anybody else in the squad last year it probably hindered him. In this squad with the like of Dougall and Yates he’s be having a field day.
(I’ve purposely not considered anyone who played above League 1 with us)
"The greatest "goalscorer" we have ever had..."Totally agree. The greatest "goalscorer" we have ever had would have a field day.
A case could be put for any one of the four. And based solely on long term records for just Blackpool, then any of the three you mention are difficult to rank."The greatest "goalscorer" we have ever had..."
Wouldn't that be Hampson, Morty or Charnley?
It was me being pedantic. Your choice is fine. For the record:A case could be put for any one of the four. And based solely on long term records for just Blackpool, then any of the three you mention are difficult to rank.
I should have qualified it with "in the modern era" as it's difficult to judge those I haven't seen.
I was considering the fact that he was a Golden Boot winner and could still score at a high level when he was nearly 40.
Comfortably the best finisher I've ever seen play for us.For me the answer is KP too but with the proviso it has to be the best of KP which wasn't necessarily the time when he was with us. He did score some wonder goals for us though by his astute thinking and reading of the game.

yeah, Charlie would be my second choice and DJ third. Just think it's that clinical finisher that would make the difference so KP got my vote.Comfortably the best finisher I've ever seen play for us.
Answering the OP, it would have to be Charlie.
Charlie for me. I wonder whether DJ or KP would see the ball as much as they need. CA would supply quality for Yates.yeah, Charlie would be my second choice and DJ third. Just think it's that clinical finisher that would make the difference so KP got my vote.
yep, great goal and the one he scored at Brighton too.He certainly did.
The one that sticks in my mind is his goal at Cardiff, a great goal and it helped us turn that game around and get a great result at the time.
Seamus Coleman did really well for us.
I'm working on the basis that it wouldn't matter what we needed most, Charlie would improve us by 50% at least. He'd create loads and score loads. All fantasy island obviously so...yeah, Charlie would be my second choice and DJ third. Just think it's that clinical finisher that would make the difference so KP got my vote.
If we are going with league 1 players only it has to be Hoolahan, the best player I have ever seen playing in league 1.Going with one of our League One players adds a touch of realism. In that case, it's a toss up between Brett and Murphs.
Mellon in league 1 was very good aswell.Richie Wellens in his prime would be a quality addition to any team at this level
David Vaughan
Great shout..Vaughan would gel this team.
