Which players from our past would have most benefited and taken their game to another level under the watchful eye of Oscar and Poyet?

For me Jake Robinson and don't ask me why I've got a feeling Danny Cullip could have been an interesting work in progress.

Jack Compton (is he still stuck at the train station waiting for a taxi to take him to the club's offices?).

Doug Loft. (All you need is Loft)

Joel Lynch was so brilliantly talented, yet spectacularly unbothered. He had some flashes of brilliance - I remember him making an impossible tackle, winning the ball and dribbling it away at Crewe away. Other times, he seemed not to care.

I can never work out why it didnt work for him, I always thought he was a tidy little player.

Very much this.

Watching his surging runs from the back augmented with the kind of passing we employ these days would have been a sight to behold from my eerie up in WSU.
