mikeyp102 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I think before the arguement reoccurs about Barry being a Judas, people have to think how good a player he was for us. There were many years when he was playing on the left wing that we had the quote "right player, left side" (or left side right player - I cant remember), remember when every England squad didn't include him and we were outraged... There can only be one winner imo for the centre mid spot. As has been said before, Merse and Tayls had their best years at the club in the 90's.

slowandlow Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I cant believe people are suggesting Merson was better prior to 00 truth is he was very average for us and out with niggles as well up until december 99 and that was the turning point in his villla career 18 months of consistently magic performances from that point onwards, but before 99 he was largely crap anyway ill go taylor and barry at centre mid and would want to pick merson in a free role as he cant be pigeonholed as a centre mid if the team is gonna be lined up as a 442 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowandlow Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Merson and Taylor played their best football for Villa in the 90's. It has to be Barry. No one else comes close. thinking about it you have a valid point re:Taylor being better in the 90s even if you are wrong re: Merson as such i would pick barry and boateng in centre mid with merson ahead of them really rated boateng dont think we ever replaced him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 tempted to boycott the team of the decade for including Bouma who really deosn't warrant inclusion has to be Barry for CM though ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted October 2, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted October 2, 2009 I voted Petrov because a) I've only really followed the Villa since '06 and Barry was nailed on to win, so tactical voting is the order of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Where's Sidwell, Sidwell wins. When he plays Villa win. 09/10. Sidwell not played: 2 Games, 2 losses. Sidwell plays: 4 games, 4 wins. Sidwell wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Merson shouldnt really be in this poll IMO he's not a typical central midfield player more of a no. 10 hole kind of footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Taylor - every team needs a heart. Barry and Merse may be the best 2 on the list, but Taylor would make it a better team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Barry for me. And either Merse or Hendrie as the 2nd midfielder. As Hendrie hasn't got one single vote so far I guess that Merse will be the one to vote for in that other poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I cant believe people are suggesting Merson was better prior to 00 truth is he was very average for us and out with niggles as well up until december 99 and that was the turning point in his villla career 18 months of consistently magic performances from that point onwards, but before 99 he was largely crap I wouldn't have said he was crap, injured most of the time and struggling with his demons, but he was easily our best player for two years from September/October 99. Which is why I voted for him. I mean he did things with a football that Gareth Barry could only dream of doing. It may have been short lived, but what a player. I think it's a shame that he has become a bit of a forgotten man in recent years. I think because of the incidents that followed his departure his impact has been lessened. Will always be the Magic Man to me. The header against Leeds, blood streaming down his face, the winner against Everton, forever burned into my memory.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 really rated boateng dont think we ever replaced him I did too man. Balls on the line every single game, kept that Gregory side ticking over. He's a player where absence makes the heart grow fonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
