    Yep.

    Not logging on for a week before Christmas and not realising a thread had been done is THE classic sign of someone gone 'strange'

    Good work Parky. You're clearly in the wrong job ok

    Oh children, spare the handbags.

    This arguably hasn't been done properly, as the first attempt just decended into yet another "Dimbo 'n' Twerp" wankathon.

    That said, I'm not sure how instructive it is to compare "attacking central midfielders" given that many teams will play without one, who should qualify as such and so on. The likes of Gerrard and Lampard will be there ahead of superior footballers, purely because they can't play anywhere else...

    Well in the title I addressed it as 'attack minded' to attempt to negate those difficulties.

    As a definition, it would be the more attack instinctive of a teams' CMs.

    Lampard is getting a tad underhyped on here. Sure, internationally he's dogshite, but for Chelsea he isn't that bad.... honestly...

    I'll quote lrd but take out his bias and it's the following for this season:
    1. Fabregas
    2. Gerrard
    3. Elano
    4. Hleb

    the first 3 stand out by far from the rest, and I am not sure that I would have hleb as a central midfielder (and someone even had joe cole in their list Doh )

    they are instrumental to their teams positions in the league, for manu it is rooney, cronaldo, and for chelsea it's been a team effort, although lampard has contributed

    My top 10 without bias would be

    1. Anderson
    2. Fabregas
    3. Gerrard
    4. Elano
    5. Hleb Sure he's a good little dribbler but he cant shoot for $h!t.

    It's not bias. This little overated overpriced brazillian flop outplayed the best midfield in the world, and had fabregas in circles. If he's not num 1 the list isnt valid <Ale>

    attacking midfielder: goals? assists?

    he has played well, but most of your goals have come from cronaldo, rooney, tevez, your midfield has contributed but not to the extent that fabregas, gerrard or elano have to their teams

    try using some reasoning for a change

    If attacking midfielder is all about goals and assists then Lampard is without doubt the best attacking midfielder.
