These are the options for the attacking midfielder position. I will also have a "forward" poll so if you think there is an outstanding candidate missing then there is a good chance he may be on there.

Another point to make is that it is so difficult to classify players such as Di Stefano who played "centre forward" in a 5 man attack. I generally consider those players to have been attacking midfielders.

This is a very difficult one, but because we're using this to build a team I'll give it to Di Stefano over Maradona by a nose.

I thought comme's initial post in the GK thread was a straight up vote who was best by position, and not based on an overall composition of a team.

comme? Clarification requested.

I only used this as a tie-breaker, I really can't decide between them - If you asked me which was the better player I really couldn't make a final decision.

Sindelar was a centre-forward. Could he adapt to a attacking midfield position? Maybe. Though even if you take out Maradona, Zidane, Platini and Di Stefano, there are players who would adapt into that position better than Sindelar.

I went for Di Stefano... very tough decision to make though... very tough, I'd wanted to go Platini and Maradona and I even considered Zidane.

Gotcha.

Also, just saw comme's post on the Center-Back. My interpretation of the initial post is not as strict as his actual intent.

I had to go with Maradona. His talent was just so great, and anyone that can lead a small, southern club like Napoli to a Serie A title is great in my book. Also, even though he wouldn't have won, I think Roberto Baggio shoudl've been on the poll.
