Beeefy14 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Only 2 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 right midfielder from 2000 to now?? Only run it for 4 days... Team so far is... Fridel Delaney Laursen Mellberg Bouma Barry Also I'm only coming up with 3 names for the left and one of those is not an option anymore. If anybody has any other names to add to Whittingham and Young let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Not exactly much choice, but it has to go to Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Solano was brilliant for us. Milner will be in team of the 2010s definitley but Nobby for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 No magic man? Player of the year in 1999-2000 and 2000-2001? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hands down Nobby Solano. He was genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 No magic man? Player of the year in 1999-2000 and 2000-2001? On the right? :? I'd hate to have to vote for Solano, so it has to be Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowandlow Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 nobby solano for me as well at the moment, merse werent a right winger so he shouldnt be an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 He played on the right a lot for us. He was almost an out and out right winger at Arsenal for a lot of years. The problem is the nature of the thread, as it is split over multiple polls its difficult to choose which one to make your point in. But a team of the 2000's simply has to have Paul Merson in it. He was that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was that good. he didnt play a lot on the RW at all, we mainly played 532 and he was attacking midfield with boateng and taylor, and that is where he played a lot better for us as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Stone and Hendrie both spent quite a lot of the early '00s on the right side of midfield for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boskos Angel Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 milner, think solano was better but one season means he doesnt deserve it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davies4England Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Milner, because without him and Barry we could have gone down that one season. Whilst since then he's proved to be one of our most consistent players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Solano only played for us for about a season and a half before he emptied his locker and **** off back to Newcastle so for me it has to be Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowDoINotLikeThat Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Solano only played for us for about a season and a half before he emptied his locker and **** off back to Newcastle so for me it has to be Jimmy. Agreed. Solano was good but werent here long enough. Milner (including his loan spell) has played more games for us thus wins in it imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishCockney Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Merson did play right wing for us, especially towards the end of his career in the early 00's, his legs had gone and would often come on for Hendrie if I remember correctly. Stone was also a solid right sider, but lets be honest he was only here for the money. Would be Merson or Milner for me so by default.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishCockney Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Really is this all the right wingers?! You think the right is bad, the Left is even less choice and that could be for twenty years worth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
