    If you were on a team and had the choice of bringing along either Patrick Viera, Roy Keane, or Steven Gerrard, which one would it be? And which one do you think has the most influence on a game?

    None are perfect... Gerrard has too many fitness problems, Keane has some serious personal problems, and Viera is a little subdued sometimes. Hmmm... I'll take Viera.

    Well, we already have Gerrard, so I'll add Viera.
    Murphy, Veira, Hamann, and Gerrard. That midfield would never be outplayed.

    Of these, Viera. Without a doubt.

    If by "influential" you mean aggressive and likely to be sent off I would choose Viera.

    Coin toss between Gerrard and Vieira. I would never let that scum bastard Roy Keane pull on a white shirt.

    I meant a little more along the lines of influential on a game, but as for the "influential" you're talking about, I'd say Keane with no hesitation. I would be scared to step on the same field with him.

    Despite injury and fitness, SG would be my pick. Keane is a screwball and is getting up there in age, and the refs have it out for Viera already.

    In a bag with a cat.
    In order I'd like Blackburn to have:
    1. Didi Harmann
    2. Patrck Viera
    3. Steven Gerrard
    4. Roy Keane.

    Gerrard is 3rd becasue of injuries, and Keane has just lost his mind and will be a liability as a player and a person.

    Of your three choices...

    ...I'd take Ryan Giggs.

    so we are limiting this only to midfielders that are currently playing in the EPL? If I could pick any midfielders that I wanted to be influential I would probably take either nedved valeron or zidane but from the epl i would probably take viera

    IMHO Keane is the best :) I like Gerrard but i wouldn't want him to be at Man Utd, since he's a Liverpool player, same with Vieira. We gotta keep all these player rivalries alive :)

    Any way, If i could add someone to the Man Utd midfield, which is already pretty decent (imho the best, despite veron) it would be probably Luis Enrique, Rafeal van der Vaart or Marc van Bommel. Enrique would be a slight gamble possibly, Rafeal would be fantastic, while van Bommel alongside Keane or Butt would be interesting. Of course, i might also look at people like Davids and Nedved. Zidane i think is overrated slightly and i wouldn't want him coming in wih his reputation alone and knocking scholes out the side...

    Yes because this is the EPL forum. Although if you think other players in the league are more influential than the ones I listed, then say so.
