briny_ear Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Cripes, this thread shows what thin gruel Villa fans have lived for most of the 2000s and just how a weak midfield was a big part of the problem. I've gone for Merse despite the fact that he wasn't a CM and didn't play for much of the decade. But he was better than Tayls. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted October 7, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted October 7, 2009 Taylor was fantastic for us but the magic man was simply different class. Merson for me every time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Merse. The only truly creative centre mid we've had in years. This. He's exactly the type of player we need right now aswell. Come back Merson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Merson, quite simple, yes. As said, Taylor was more of the '90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciriaco_sforza Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 to be fair, along with mellberg, merson should be the 1st name in this whole team. He may not have been with us 4 the majority of the decade, but he has been the best player to pull on a villa shirt in the 2000s by an absolute mile!

kurtsimonw Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I love Ian Taylor, but Merse was magic. Merse it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
