Our Top 5 Champ Midfielders (central)

Can someone do a win % with and without besic. Not convinced he was a big part behind us winning games. I hated besic, thought he was utter tripe

Hate is too strong a word, but I would say he was massively overrated by some.

In the main he didn't seem to offer much at all for me, lots of huffing and puffing but limited quality. Admittedly he was slightly better in one spell than the other, but that's damning with faint praise. It's like arguing which is the most authentic and tasty cheese between those flat plastic squares you get in pull apart cellophane or cheese strings. At the end of the day they both taste like a sweaty armpit and pale in comparison to some proper quality cheese stuffs!
 
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

Chalobah was ok in his spell with us, steady away.

Different position obviously, but Omerou was excellent for that first year, I expected bigger things from him. Shame he didn't seem to kick on and breakthrough.

17/18 season (league only)
Overall - P46 W22 D10 L14 - 76pts - 48% win - 1.65 PPG
With Besic - P17 W8 D5 L4 - 29pts - 47% win - 1.70 PPG

18/19 season (league only)
Overall - P46 W20 D13 L13 - 73pts - 43% win - 1.57 PPG
With Besic - P37 W17 D11 L9 - 62pts - 46% win - 1.68 PPG

Does include sub appearances which might have been in the 90th min and not impacted the result.
 
Surprised at Barry Robson; he was good for us in a wide position but awful centrally, hence he rarely played there.
 
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..
Saville really really hasn't.
He hasn't got the potential to get past Clayton' record in his first seasons here.
