World's best midfielder

[Der Kaiser]

I voted for schweini. he can dominate the game both in offense and defense, scores important goals at bayern and is a nice guy and a classy sportsman.
a few weeks ago he asked the ref to undo a booking on a player who fouled him because he thought it wasn´t that much of a hard foul... come on, how often do we see that in modern football...

Essien is the most complete midfielder in the world imo.

 

[Valon]

I wouldn't call Essien the most complete, his creativity lacks tbh.

 

[jamrock]

lacks greatly

 

[La Furia]

Cambiasso.

I'm still completely baffled at Maradona not bringing him to the World Cup. All the praise he heaped upon Mascherano would have been better served on Esteban.

 

[Daemul]

Essien? He cant be consisdered the best midfielder at all, maybe the best destroyer, but he severly lacks creativity.

I voted for Essien. out of all the players listed, he's the one who scares me the most when FCB plays against him. he's an absolute beast. technically sound, great shot, pacy, smart, physical ... passing obviously needs to improve, but otherwise I love watching him play.

 

[Myrmecophile]

It's Cesc or Schweinsteiger.

Essien's missed most of 2 of the last 3 seasons through injury and hasn't been that great this season on the whole anyway. It's not 2006 so Pirlo is out. I don't rate Alonso as highly as others on here seem to. Great player, but not on Fabregas or Schweinsteiger's (newfound) level imo.

 

[Hamzah]

its obviously wes sneijder.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Sneijder

 

[Jordzibob]

Sergio Busquets

 

[El Gato]

Xabi has every quality a perfect and true CM should have (that excludes Xavi since he isn't a mid, he's in the category of his own).

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Sergio Busquets

How could we forget Busquets! Im going to flog myself and rub salt in the gaping wounds

 

[Corb]

Yes, Sergio Busquets has improved a lot since his first season. He can play as a CM.
