My take on the Viera and Wilshere debate.

Viera - Best CDM of the past decade. I challenge you to name someone better. I certainly cannot. Yes he wasnt as gifted as Henry or Berkamp but they guy was a monster. Again I can't think of anyone with such avpercect combination of speed and strength.

Wilshere - He's 21 and had injury troubles. Stop knocking the kid and judge him once he's had a season injury free. I think he will be on a par with Gerrard and Lampard. Maybe even Gascgoine.

Peace out.

I hope for higher than Gerrard and Lampard for Wilshere, no disrespect to those two very good players in their prime, still are but I'm thinking Iniesta and Xavi and shine in European and International level as well as PL

I'm with DG on this one although I'm not quite that much a Viera booster, I think Keane got in his head too much in the one on one battles of the day, and there were other great midfielders in that era. Not that Viera wasn't great -:).

Why judge Paddy against DB10 or Thierry?
They play different positions for gods sake!
Would Henry have made a great CDM NO! Would Paddy been any good in Dennis position NO
Pady changed our side fundamentally, he bossed that area like no one had done before or since.
He is every bit as good as Bergkamp or Henry in his OWN position.
Paddy was a great player.

I cannot believe that nobody has come up with Claude Makalele as a better CDM than both Viera and Keane.

Viera was good, but he had some very very good players around him, as did Makalele.

The big difference is that Makalele was an absolute lynchpin and beast for Chelsea, they win two tittles.

He then goes to Real Madrid, who were consistently being battered by Barcelona for the title and they win the title and Champions League.

Sorry to say it, but the best CDM in the past decade or so was Makalele.

And hi Stoner, Paul, USGooner, and everyone else. Been a little busy lately. Hope all of you are well.
