Best midfielder in Premier League History

by St. Brynjar » 11 May 2013 20:41

People seem to be spunking at the thought of Fat Frank after his goals today, but who is the best PL midfielder ever? I'd say Scholes personally, but can see cases for Keane and Viera.

Anyone who suggests Leigertwood gets a slap.

Scholes should have had a 100 caps for England. When Messi and Xavi say he's the best player they played against and Ronaldo the best player he has played with that should tell you something.

The central midfielder (Giggs will always be a winger to me) with the most EPL appearances; the legendary Gary Speed, RIP

Edit: Actually thinking about it, did Speed play in the middle or on the flank? I can't remember

I think theres arguements for Scholes, Vieira, Keane and Gerrard.

Vieira probably shades it for me. He brought so much to that Arsenal team

Scholes, hands down. The way successive England managers treated him was criminal. Hoddle was the only one who used him in his best position.

It's so obviously Paul Scholes that it's a daft thread.

Why are they the same topic? One is discussing a particular footballer, one is discussing the position in general.
