Poll: Best Central Midfielder in the PL?

[Tom84]

The midfielders I'd like to nominate are;

Y.Toure
Scholes
Wilshire
Modric
Cabaye
Lampard
Ramires
Other

Reasons why I'd prefer not to include Gerrard in this poll is that I've only got 6 names for the CAM poll so if I save Gerrard for that it makes 7 options apiece (8 including the other option) and I'm anal like that

Once again remember guys this isn't based solely on this season

 

[Tom84]

If it's not based solely on this season it has to be Scholes without a doubt!

Whilst it's not solely based on this season it's not an 'all time' poll either, just something to bare in mind

 

[Tom84]

toure and modric are completely different types of midfielders imo don't really see how they can be in the same poll. toure should be swapped for gerrard in this selection and another with the likes of toure, palacios, sandro, park etc created

Park? I'm not making a worst midfield in the PL thread

 

[Tom84]

All time, Scholes by a country mile.

More recently... Toure.

So who do I vote for then?

I'll be honest I included Scholesy in the poll because of how good he was when he returned this past season.... we shouldn't forget though prior to his return his form made the decision to retire in the first place a fairly easy one....

 

[Tom84]

My thinking with the options are that all the midfielders are for want of a better term box to box i.e. they're not sitting/tackling DM's but nor are they given a free role behind a striker or chucked out wide (well I guess Modric has been but that's down to dodgy management)

 

[Tom84]

I'm amazed you managed to create this without sticking Carrick in...unless he's going to be in the AMC one

I was going to include Xavick but then compared to someone like Modric even I wouldn't of voted for him so figured there wasn't much point

 

[Tom84]

Lampard beats him by a mile for me in this poll.

Lampard doesn't even have 5% of Scholes technical ability

Oh and the opinions of the likes of Nickg on an internet forum really doesn't represent the majority (as I keep saying over and over again)

EDIT: I haven't voted yet but I suspect I'll go with Toure
