Can anyone help me out and name some world class defensive centre mids? Because I’m scratching my head to think of any (until yesterday didn’t even know the position exists). Obviously Vincelot because we were soooo stupid not to play him there and Lothar Matthäus is a given (not the box to box midfielder who converted to sweeper) the other one the famous midfielder anchor. Bonus points if they can only move 30 yards. I put forward Jan Molby as my top pick...

Miss you Thad and Brenty

May I suggest that you put the following in on google

'defensive centre midfielder'

You'll be fascinated, I'm sure, with what comes up, names such as Dier, Matic, Kroos .....

Dier? More like dire (am I right folks?)

Fernandinho, Casemiro, Kante (or at least he was before Sarri got hold of him). Quite like Fabinho as well.

Yes, you are a very needy attention seeking sort of Feline, didn't you recently criticise others for those very traits...?

Matic is a good shout.

Too early for Rice.

Emmanuel Petit in his Arsenal days wasn't bad. Mahamadou Diarra when he was at Real.
