Beeefy14 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 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 Milner Barry Merson This one isn't even a contest, i'm only running it for a day
Wainy316 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Hmmmmmmm, toughie. Surely there was somebody else?
Wainy316 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Hendrie, Hitzlsperger, Kachloul (?), Berger, Yeah. Still only one winner though tbf.
Beeefy14 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 Hendrie, Hitzlsperger, Kachloul (?), Berger, 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. Did you read the last post? Also none of them, with the exception of hitzlsperger, played a significant amount of games on the left. And he never got anywhere near the left by the time he was good enough to be considered for a poll like this.
NeilS Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I guess this just highlights how bad we were prior to RL & MON arriving. You could add Barry to that list as he played there under GT Mk2. But he is already playing in CM. Ginola could be added to the list, though he would be way down the list with Kachloul & Berger who probably struggled to muster 30 starts between the 3 of them.
NeilS Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Who has voted for Whittingham!!!! Haha, I know Young hasn't been up to his usual standards recently, but even so.
johnsonp Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 7 (as it stands) votes for whittingham over ashley young, how very odd
Hairbandinho Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Wait did'nt Barry play on the left wing for a few seasons :winkold:
Junxs Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 So who was our best right midfielder from 2000 to now?? :oops: Speaking of which though, I missed that poll but I see Milner won it. I would have voted Solano because he was class. Yes he was only here for a year and a half but Milner has only been here a bit longer and was very poor most of last season. Anyway, left wing - I vote 'lets move on to the strikers'.
Zatman Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I always thought Whittingham was a good player if he put on some extra muscle he could still play PL.
The_Rev Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I think Ash Young is up there with Barry, Laursen and Merson. Any team of the decade without him in it is just, well, bullshit.
Rodders Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I protest voted against Ashley Young's poor form. 8) And of the few games I've managed to see live in recent times, that home match with Leicester when he was brilliant was one of them.
briny_ear Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Cripes, the past 10 years have been dire. How come 12 people think Whittingham was better than Young? Does he have a large family still living in the area?
The_Rev Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Its the nature of internet polls. People will always vote for the silly option. Just look at the post directly above you, which basically translates as a vote for Whittingham because opposition teams now double or triple mark Ashley Young.
