Genuine natural decent defensive midfielder we had?

Would kill for a Michael Doyle now (every team needs one, etc. etc.).
Agreed, I remember getting shot down for suggesting we should have tried to resign him on relegation, got told he's a "non footballer".

Doyle's best form for us, though, was surely when we encouraged him to actually get forward?
I never rated Safri, but suppose he'd count.
And before that... Carlton Palmer!
It's an odd question though, because we don't really do goalscoring midfielders either, so maybe the question could be broadened to 'last decent midfielder'!
Depends on what you class decent, and whether you're happy for a limited player who's was good defensively (e.g Makelele ) or who want someone who's got a bit more to their game (e.g. Alonso). And obviously it's all relative to the league they played in.

Norwood was a decent midfielder......but we didn't own him. Hughes in his first season? Thompson? McCallister? hadji and Chippo? God this is depressing

Vicente Engonga! Under Black he looked half decent (no I'm not joking; just hope im thinking of the right player)
Is there any of the defence that could be moved into that position? I haven't seen us for a while, would Pennington be able to do it?

No. No. No.
Didnt Coleman try the same thing with Crainie? Why move a player from his best position? Still think Crainie was a decent CB we let go too easily. And played out of position far too much.
I'm hoping you mean Eric Dolymeux!
Engonga only played under McAllister and was old enough to be your Dad!

It's because I think it is what we have dearly missed for the last few years. Where as we have had creative ones
Barnsley fan I know says he gets away with a lot because he's a defender who can control a ball, but is a bit lazy, and showboats too much.
Which is, tbf, a bit how I remember him
Could be! One wasn't with us long but did an alright job.
Another was Yazid Monsouri! Only sent him packing back to Le Harve because he chose country over club I think? He looked decent too (or were we really desperate at these times and I was blinded by their average-ness?)
Not since we stopped paying for players we haven't!
Who was the last central midfielder you could say drove us forward? Again I'd be saying... Doyle!
I'm awaiting the suggestion of fleck lol

I know it was a few years ago but Stewart Robson one of the best but a bit injury prone, top top player
