Right boys and girls - we are looking for our number 6. A disciplined player for our midfield. A reader of the game who also uses the ball well. It was hard to narrow this down to 8. A couple of these have been playing really well recently, but vote overrall on who you would use to shore up the Premier League's midfield. This one will be close!

I agree with ye Scruffy. But too many people are voting on what they last saw in these polls. For me, Essien without even looking!

13th on the list Tiote. Getting more consistent, but not consistent enough. His partner in crime at the Toon is a much better player as it stands. Shaky at the start of this season Tiote - but playing very well since Christmas.

De Jongs a more limited player but as a holding midfielder is better i think
 
Essien is the better all-round midfielder, box to box and weighs in with a few goals
Him and De Jong play differing roles though for their clubs, De Jong sits and protects the back four, never venturing too far forward with defence his main objective, John Obi Mikel does this for Chelsea mostly, Essien plays further forward

Anyone who says they would rather any other player than Essien from that list on their team is lying.

I'm surprised Scott Parker hasn't got a few votes. It was a close call between him and Essien for me.

If it was a team of the season Sham I would have voted for Parker. His career has taken a strange route since he left Charlton but there is no doubting his quality. He is class and is trying almost single handedly to keep West Ham up. Wilshere has all the m,akings of a great player but hasn't done anything yet but I believe he will live up to the hype. Fletcher is a good player and along with De Jong probably the most natural holding player, still question Song's ability at the very top, likewise Barton  and don't rate Barry at all.

Therefore Essien gets the vote, he has been one of the best premier league players of the new millenium. Absolutely awesome. At times he absolutely steamrolls teams. Has there been a physically stronger or fitter player in the EPL?

Has to be Essien. Wilshere could easily turn into the best but it's way too early to be voting for him.

Yep he should be in the poll alright. We know Chelsea are eyeing him up at the moment.

But what can you expect when the poll should be called 'What is the best combined Man U and Chelsea team'?

Farcical.
