Any players that once played for your club that wou would still like to re-sign (if money wasn't an issue), I think I'd take Paul Hartley back - still playing internationally and a player that would do well in amongst the current side.

Can't choose folk who have retired

Kevin McDonald

As soon as I saw the title of this thread, that's exactly what I thought.

Dyron Daal obviously.

If we're allowed to count loan players then Robbie Neilson.

If it has to be someone who was once actually our player then Jamie McAllister might be the best still playing but we don't need a left back. David Lilley maybe?

Barry Nicholson and/or Jackie McNamarra

Craig McKeown, Craig Bryson, Eddie Malone and Stephen O'Donnell. Bryson and O'Donnell were always a threat from midfield and Eddie's delivery used to be a useful weapon. McKeown for the fact he's turning into a great defender and IMO will be in the SPL sooner rather than later whether with Dundee or not.

Simmons

Most of the Caley team.

I'd have said Morten Weighorst, but he's retired.

Stevie Crawford & Colin Cameron

In their prime or in their current physical condition?

We're in desperate need of strikers, but I can't think of any who are still playing at a decent level.

The only plyer that instantly jumps to mind is Martin Hardie. Oh, how I wish Del and Gerry had taken a gamble on him.

Alan Gow

Don Cowie and John Rankin. They would be great with the type of football we are now playing.

Paul Hartley, Kevin Thomas (Is he still playing?), Robert Earnshaw, Sean O'Connor

I can't really think of many that are still playing. Robert Earnshaw and Paul Hartley are the obvious ones, but they were only loan deals.


Last I heard of Thomas was a few years back when he was at Bo'ness Juniors.

jason scotland

Jason Scotland, Stephen Dobbie, Kenny Deuchar, Darren Dods, Eddie Malone, Matt Glennon

David Fernandez, Burton O'Brien, Neil Alexander, Marvin Andrews

Caniggia, Ravanelli, Nemsadze, Caballero, Novo, Khizanishvili, Sara, Ketsbaia.

Cracker!

cowie, rankin, bayne, barrowman....notice how they all play for the same team...

Gav Rae, our current starting eleven with him added and we'd walk this league.

One thing I've noticed is that nothing stays the same for ever in football. One day I expect this trend to be reversed. Keep the faith son.

To be fair, most teams would walk this league with 12 players...

Can we give Broadfoot back to St Mirren please?

(Theyre worse than most first division teams anyway)

perhaps, but hopefully so. but in no way do i want ICT to plummit, it's good having a reasonably successful Highland team, i'd obviously rather that County one day manage to make it to SPL, but either way i think both teams miss the regular derby's

As soon as i read it back i was going to edit it cause i knew someone would say that.

Everyone knew what i meant, Gav Rae in our team would walk this league.

Hard one, but would probably be one of the players that left around the end of our first season in the SPL.

Probably between Hardie, Lilley and Craigan. I would actually have picked Rowson, if he wasn't already here, because I loved him first time around.

If we were playing 3-5-2, all three of those players would be perfect. If Paton's as good as McCall thinks, then I'd rule out Lilley.

Now Hardie or Craigan. We're quite strong in midfield, and in defence, so I'm not sure. I loved Hardie, so probably him

ADAM HAMMILL,Jim O'brien,Rossi, Skerla,Barry Nic,Noel Hunt.....

Rankin plays for Hibs now.

For me it would be Canning, Cowie, Rankin and Barrowman

my bad. he was always better than caley, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yea thats right, i said it!

Adam Strachan

You trying to tell us something Tommy?



Anyway........Rab Douglas ( ), Keith Wright, Tommy Coyne, Dusan Vrto, John Broon, Boab Glennie, CC, Nemsadze

I wish mate. I'd think Gav is worth a couple of million now. Thats about a couple of million more than we can afford.

Did the bit in the first post where we were limited to players who are still actually playing pass you by? The only one still playing is Douglas and he's yours anyway.

Jamie Macdonald and Robbie Neilson would both improve our current squad, as would Jamie McAlistair who was a Playoff Final defeat away from being a Premiership player this coming season.

Stevie Mallan wouldn't improve our squad at his age now, but I'd love to have him back because he is a bit of a cult hero of mine. He could show Tosher how to fight properly as well!

Would also add Jack Ross, John Potter & Mark McLaughlin to that list with an interested fit Tam Brighton. Kareem Kerkar for entertainment value.

Agree that Neilson and McDonald would be the main two for us.

Noticed I had this photo on Bebo, few legends in it!

Word for word agreement.

I would also have said "Rowson" this time last year, as The Arch says.

Kenny Arthur.....cant beleive no thistle fan has mentioned him yet.

Jason Scotland & Callum Davidson (would sort our left back slot out perfectly)

none! Very rarely does it work when player returns to a club they left. Think it must be something in their mentality that tells them they're bigger than the club.

It would appear that none of our old fullbacks who were any good are still playing, which shows you how shit we've been for years.

We obviously all want Chris Millar back.

Anyway, as has been said before, Paul Hartley and Robert Earnshaw are the obvious ones.

Jani Uotinen.

I'm surprised the bloody bring back Alex Williams brigade hasn't got on here yet.

Miguel Angel Espinola Jiminez

Juan Ramon Escalas...

Quinton Jacobs, Scot Paterson, Alex Burns

Cos we've got Johnny Tuffey now! I liked Kenny but it was the right time for him to move on and I think Tuffey has more potential than the King had at the same age. Is Scott Patterson still playing for some highland league team? I thought i heard that during last season anyway. I know he's not playing senior anymore but he's definitely one of the guys that would probably never have played for Thistle if it wasn't for the bad injury problems that hampered his career.

I thought he had hung up his boots, he was a class player, he reminded me of a Bobo Balde type player, only less clumsy...

remember his goal up at the Caledonian Stadium???

But he couldn't kick for shit.


Great service to the Club, but Tuffey was a revelation last season and will go on to even greater things.

Brilliant! standing in the pishing rain behind the goal and just seeing the ball come over the wall and smack the net net right in front of us.... that's one of my favourite away games (and goals!)
