LancsVillan Posted July 30, 2005 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2005 Think this could be a straight fight but what do I know..... and shows up that in reality our centre mid is lacking a partnership that the Mid 90's had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomIsADeftone Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Can anyone really vote for Boateng? was he any better than McCann, i don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahamaad Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 McCann again no contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 He tackles and he passes, he harries and harrasses, he gets up people's asses, he's better than Roy Keane.... There was no choice there really. I take it Merson isn't being counted as a central midfielder? It shows that for all the players we've had there over the past few years none of them have been much good.

eston21 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 wheres magicman? tayls is winning the other CM poll so we would need flair in the middle and gav isnt the one to offer it. wed need mgic alongside ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 wheres magicman? tayls is winning the other CM poll so we would need flair in the middle Tayls may not have had flair but I bet his goalscoring record was better than that of Merse. Still Merse would win this poll for me, surely we're not counting him as a striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancsVillan Posted July 30, 2005 Author Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2005 Where's Merse?! A shocking oversight of our best midfielder in recent memory. if you say so we signed him as a forward and he referred to himself as such so you'll get chance to vote for him soon enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Merson was supporters' player of the year two years running playing in the centre of midfield. When Gareth Southgate signed, he was a midfielder, it's not where he ended up playing though is it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 You can't class Merse as a forward Lancs, it's not where he played and you know it. This was fun, its gone a bit silly now due to some personal vendetta you have. Merson MUST be in this team, but I doubt he gets in as a striker.....

irishmangiant Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I must say Gavin McCann springs to mind for this. Merson was a quality player though and I would have voted for him had he been present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsVillan Posted July 31, 2005 Author Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2005 not a vendetta at all and would he get in ahead of IT - NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 not a vendetta at all and would he get in ahead of IT - NO Not sure. It would be close for mine. They'd be my central midfield pairing though without a doubt. All I'm saying, if Paul Merson doesn't get in the VillaTalk team of the decade it wil be a travesty.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Well, I voted for 'The Boat' anyway. I'll never forget Gazza breaking his arm on Super Georges face, or the boot throwing incident. Don't think we've seen enough of McCann to have him in a 'best of' team just yet. Give him another year though...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
