Our Top 5 Champ Midfielders (central)

Another controversial one, but Arca had a good spell under Mowbray playing in a bargain bins Pirlo type role.

Think this thread definitively proves Easy doesn't post on here under a new username. But Forshaw is definitely worth a mention too.
 
I think leadbitter has a great drive and motivated the team well but I didn’t think he was a great passer of the ball
 
Not many will agree but Bailey deserves to be up there. Not as one of the top 5 but he was excellent playing in that defensive midfield role during Mowbrays' first full season in charge.
 
I can't believe Adomah hasn't been mentioned. He was an integral part of any attacking threat we had in 13/14, 14/15 and 15/16. He should be in the top 5 just on that header against Reading!
 
I always liked Robson. Although he was a suspension and sending off waiting to happen.

Yet you always got 110% from him and he was far and away Strachans best signing (not hard). He had a goal in him and a very good setplay. He scored 17 in 87. That's a great return for a CM and better than some Forwards we've had. That boxing day strike in the last min against Hull👏

The rest of the SPL lot came down and made easy money. He at least earned his. I'm sure Warnock would love him.
 
McNair was poor in CM, Besic was much better, we barely won without him in the side in his second season with us.
 
Something like this..

1) Grant Leadbitter
2) Barry Robson
3) Julio Arca
4) Adam Forshaw
5) Jonny Howson
6) Sam Morsy
7) Adam Clayton
8) George Saville
9) Dean Whitehead
10) Didier Digard/Mo Besic

I liked Bruno Zuculini me like. Saville has the potential to go right to the top..

Chalobah really? I can barely remember him playing for us, don’t think he was bad but nowhere near top 5.

Yeah, I've had a think my memory is clouded with Chalobah and Omerou being the same player (one hell of a player)

Chalobah played as a makeshift right back for a game or two as I recall. Did alright.. not as good as Dean Whitehead tho
 
Where do Whitehead and Butterfield fit into the list ... Didn't we swop Butterfield for Clayton?

Tomlin was technically a midfielder wasn't he?
