Beeefy14 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 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 STRIKER from 2000 to now?? Only run it for 4 days... Team so far is... Fridel Delaney Laursen Mellberg Bouma Milner Barry Merson Young
Beeefy14 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 Has to be dublin for me absolute LEGEND!
Wainy316 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Angel and Big Dion for me. Their goal scoring records speak for themselves. Think Gabby is maybe 1 or 2 years shy of breaking in there.
Rodders Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 if baros gets in the side it's a travesty. Angel, was a quality player, who again, suffered from being surrounded by crap. Now he's not as good as strikers who can create chances for themselves, fine, but he was an excellent finisher. edit: Dublin for me btw.
colleh Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Baros has no chance of getting in the side. Angel has fanboys who might vote him in though. Should be Dublin and Gabby.
Beeefy14 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 If Angel gets in this side, it's a travesty. Really? I wouldn't go that far. He will have my second vote if dulin runs away with it. I don't doubt if he came into our current squad he would be banging them in.
El Zen Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Gabby and Big Dion would make an excellent partnership. I voted for Big Dion.
sparky Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 juan pablo for me! An Angel in his prime now in this team would be AWESOME!
granville Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Gabby and Dion. I think I've voted for Carew though. :? Can I cange it?
kurtsimonw Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Angel is the best striker this club has had since Yorke for me, single handedly took a shit team to 6th in the league. Love Dion, but Angel for me.
wans13 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 on his day Carew the best player there by a mile
granville Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 on his day Carew the best player there by a mile I agree but this is about a whole decade. Carew is world class IF he puts effort in and is in good shape but most of the time he, well... doesn't and isn't. PS - still love him though.
villa4europe Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 i agree that on his day carew is the best by miles, but the fact that his day seems to be not as often as id like then im not sure i find him frustrating, as for angel for that one season he was great would of liked to have seen him play with young and jimmy, and dion for one memory alone always makes me smile, as well as the arsenal game, what year did we get nilis? i was very excited when we got him, scored a belter then got injured my vote goes to gabby, often looks knackered and not bothered but i think he's a very good young talent who gets far too much stick on here
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Gabby and Dion for me as the partnership. Angel was far too, good season, bad season, good season, bad season, bad season, bad season, terrible season sorta player.
Zatman Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Angel for me he played in a dreadful team with midfielders like Hendrie and McCann and still got a decent total. Put David Villa in that team and he would struggle
colleh Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Angel for me he played in a dreadful team with midfielders like Hendrie and McCann and still got a decent total. Put David Villa in that team and he would struggle Angel is a Marcus Stewart, a Michael Ricketts, a Benny McCarthy, a Kevin Doyle, a Michael Bridges......just with a fancy name and good PR. Angel did play in front of a midfield which had Barry, Solano and Hendrie, two very good players and one good one on his day.
Danny_Villaman84 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 angel and dublin will good partner up front with milner and young winger but angel and gabby will good balance. barry and merson both capacity killer pass and creative in somewhat like blender to feed gabby and dublin both quick catch ball.
slowandlow Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 yeah angel had 1 good season 1 very good season and 3 or 4 pretty awful seasons so ill pick others i think
