[Albion] Best midfield since last time we were in the top flight?

[El Presidente]

Surely Tony K, Kayal, Stevens and Skalak/Murphy are the most impressive Albion midfield since we had the likes of Grealish, Case, Smillie and Gregory in the Albion line up?

Not forgetting Nobby Horton.

If only Vicente was around

It's all about Kayal. Not got a soft-centre midfield that just rolls over for anyone anymore. Player Of The Season IMHO.

Don't forget March.

We've got such strength in depth on the wings and the Kayal/Stephens partnership is one for the ages. IF we went up I'd certainly rate our chances of staying there with this squad.

Kayal and March are our best exponents of CM and wing-play, respectively.

I was always a big Neil Mcnab fan, although I was far too young too actually remember anything he really did.

Was saying such last night. with 5 very capable wingers and Kayal alongside Stephens in the centre we look strong, although need an extra one for the centre. The difficulty is signing a central midfielder who would be happy to work for his spot in the side and wait for the opportunity without causing disruptions to squad morale if he cannot get in.

Maybe Sidwell would be a good option, but could Ince, Holla, Forster-Caskey, Crofts or Towell be able to make the step up and push for a place in the top flight

Seems [MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION] has forgotten Dean Hammond & Tommy Fraser PROWLING around Withdean

A SLIGHT improvement on last year's options of Gary Gardner, JFC and Ince.

No because 2 of those are definitely leaving. In fact we could lose 4 of them if JFC and Ince leave permanently in the summer

I would say our midfield is on a par with any other we have ever had. Probably technically better than any other Albion midfield that has gone before it

gardner,jfc, teixeira.....the most lightweight midfield ever assembled

Yep it was ridiculous. I think the early part of the season we had a whole run of games with JFC and Gardner in central mid. It was beyond woeful. Almost like there was no one in the centre of the pitch

I don't think Vicente would get into the first 11.

I agree, immense for us.

It was the ONE area of the team that Hyppia never rotated. Really bizarre. Teams would just casually stroll through our central midfield.

If you listen to Calde, Kayal is good but better with Stephens as a midfield partner. The sum of total is more than the parts.
He thinks Stephens should be player of the season.

He'd be injured

Totally, how he could not see how bad they were together is beyond me. Hyppia works on another plane and they don't have football management there or even football teams
