colleh Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Only 3 months until the end of the year. Time to pick a best of the 00's Villa XI... I've come up with a list of whom I believe to be the main candidates. (The person you pick should ideally be somebody who excelled post 2000, rather than excelled previously and crossed over into post 2000) So who was our best left back from 2000 to now?? Only run it for 4 days... (Luke Young included because he played there quite a bit for a season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 (No Staunton?) This one's quite close between a few, I'll go for Bouma though, just. Staunton and Wright were both better pre-2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colleh Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 I had Staunton down as a centre back post 2000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant(aka_eddy) Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Bouma should win this by a landslide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Bouma, then Wright IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeefy14 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 bouma has had one good season. and lets be honest offers very little going forward... I doubt many will take this into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sled Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Bouma, then Wright IMO.Same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulanddonya Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Out of those choices there is only really one choice - Booooom I think little Wrighty was bar far a better left back, and probably the most under-rated defender of his generation - but Wrighty is the LB of the 90's. I am actually surprised he was with us after 2000. So Bouma by default I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boskos Angel Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 We have always been stuck for good full-backs as this small list shows, but bouma wins for me as I always felt wright was to small for left back shouldve been tried left-wing.

Rodders Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 alan wright would get it for 90s, but with the time limits I have to go for Bouma, but it's close. Samuel had one good season too :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbinoVillan Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 to be fair, J'lloyd was very good in the (I think) 04 season where we finished 6th under O'Leary. Even got in the England squad as I recall. Shame about the downward spiral afterwards, but I put him above Shorey. Still, Bouma wins it comfortably, unsurprisingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Think you could just wave this one through. Freddie by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liono Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Gareth Barry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Think it's fair for Young to get more votes... he did well, even if he's not a leftback by trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I notice you have put L Young on the LB list but you didn't put olaf in as rb...hardly an unbiased approach to selecting the true team of the 00's..think olaf would have been a very close bet at rb which wouldve changed the cb selection... I have gone for freddie on this one though... wrighty was a good little player but think he mainly shined in 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereford-Villan Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Bouma has had one good season. That's it. Wright for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
