Centre Midfielders of the noughties

[bond007]

Pick your two best centre mids of the noughties in the poll above.

I have gone for McKenna and Majewski because they have shown that they are a very good championship pairing who play completely different roles.

 

[dellaroc]

Chris Cohen?

 

[InsideForest]

Cohen.

 

[winnits]

Reid, Southall and Commons were wingers though...

 

[dellaroc]

Where's Shaun Derry, Adam Nowland, Gary Holt and all of Joe Kinnear's sexy midfielders?

 

[winnits]

Danny Sonner?

 

[Daniel]

I only need one, and he puts the opposition in a trance. :

 

[Kier]

Where is Darryl Powell? He was a brilliant signing showing exactly why Megson is held in such high regard.

 

[kezz]

Reid, Southall and Commons were wingers though...

Oh WTF am I doing.. Sorry concentration lapse there..

 

[winnits]

S'okay - I nearly posted "What about Reidy?" before double-checking

 

[bond007]

Added Cohen, completely forget about him sorry.

Much like people think top league football only started in 1992, I fear this poll only started in the second half of the Noughties.

Oh and for the record, I vote for Chris Bart-Williams and Gareth Williams. (Though voted for McKenna and 'Other.')

For a time I liked Andy Johnson too - but it was a very short time.

Johnson was pretty good in the season we won promotion under Bassett, but never really lived up to his hefty £2,500,000 fee.

I voted for Jenas and Cohen.

 

[tomw94]

bartman and jenas

 

[Jelly Bean]

Surprised Scimeca's not had more votes.

What did Jenas ever do for Forest? wasn't it about 20 apperances and 2 goals as a 17/18 year old?

He kept the wolves from the door when sold, though.

I think we would have gone into administration that week had he not been sold. Plus even though he only played 30 games, it showed what a class act he was that Newcastle were willing to stump up £5,000,000 for him.

 

[winnits]

I don't think how much Newcastle are prepared to spend on you can possibly be an accurate barometer of goodness

lol

From the club that spunked £10m+ on shit like Martins, Coloccini and Luque that is a fair point. However Jenas was a complete class act and still is. Given the choice to sign any ex-player, still playing, he would be my choice!

 

[Bridgfordred79]

Where's Shaun Derry, Adam Nowland, Gary Holt and all of Joe Kinnear's sexy midfielders?

All were Megson signings?

I want to vote Bopp due to his potential, but did he do enough in his time here.........
Sod it, Bopp and Williams get my votes.

 

[MaxiRobriguez]

Went for Jenas and Scimeca. You could always tell Jenas was going to be a class act destined for the premiership - a bit like Raddy but Jenas has that little bit more about him or did.
Scimeca the season before he moved was immense - for that season alone he got my vote.

Overtime it might sway to Raddy though.

 

[clusternakker]

reliant scimitar and jenas

 

[redwood]

Jenas and Scimeca - my next two choices would have been the Bart man and Williams though, who aren't on the list.
