    Well what other section does he qualify for? He's not a DM, and he scores and assists shitloads. Tell me smartarse, what is Fabregas?

    I thought when people put Fabregas as a central midfielder others were moaning that he is an attacking midfielder who doesn't have any real defensive duties, which is why he has a high assist rate and good goalscoring record this season.

    Gerrard is easily better than Hleb and Elano in my opinion.

    He is just your mild-mannered central midfielder.

    I don't care, he's not my sort of player, neither are Lampard or Cahill. Atleast he got onto the list, be grateful. <Ale>

    @ smartarse dutchie
    If we don't include Fabregas in this list we don't include him in any of them. And if Batman is going to use this for something, and it doesn't lnvolve Cesc, then it is gay. Ale

    Why has no one got Joey Barton in their list? Is it because he is gash?

    Well it's difficult to decide who is an attacking central midfielder and who isnt. Kranjac plays on the left yet he's in most peoples list.

    My top 10 without bias would be

    1. Anderson
    2. Fabregas
    3. Gerrard
    4. Elano
    5. Hleb Sure he's a good little dribbler but he cant shoot for $h!t.

    Ok i stop there <Ale>

    He's fat, dumb, and can barely move or turn. But because he occasionally plays a nice pass you think he's the man. Doh

    You're a card Dimbo. A real card.

    Surely Huddlestone would be deemed anorexic when compared with your average Geordie - men and women?

    No Cahill COTR?

    I'd take him over Johnson, Ballack or Lampard.
