Charlie-Brown Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Gomis is a completely different kind of player to Cameron, Hartley or Skacel so you can discount them from comparisons. For me Morgaro is a very classy and hugely influential player for us certainly one of the best we've had in that role for a long time. Comparisons with Jim Bett, Salvatori and Derek Ferguson are fair imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note I had Doddie in the second group as I know he was good - and Britain's first player/manager - but couldn't remember how good, plus it was in the years when we yoyo'd up and down the divisions. I also had Gary Locke in the second group but couldn't remember if he played mostly full back or defensive midfield (I though the latter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackay was a great midfielder for us from an early age - part of the 85/65 team, the 87/88 2nd place team, the UEFA cup run team, the 91/92 second place team, scored a cracker on his Scotland debut - played a lot of games and was very consistent. The question was name 10 better midfielders. Gomis certainly couldn't be called "complete" until he starts scoring a few. Davie Bowman could also make the second group, thinking back to when Mackay broke through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the thread is about "complete players" then sorry Gary doesn't cut it for me. If Gomis scores in one of his next two or three games he will have caught up with Gary's scoring rate, but "complete" in terms of a midfielder has for me more to do with ball control, retention of possession, decisive passing ... on all of those Gomis wins hands down on the evidence so far. The old joke about some thinking in his early years that Gary's first name was "For****sake" had some basis in fact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the thread is about complete midfielders then Gomis doesn't meet that description yet IMO. He needs to pitch in with some goals and be a bit more box to box to be called complete. I think Holt has it in him to be more of a complete midfielder. Having said that I love Gomis and want to have his babies. I'll be delighted if he keeps up this form in the SPL and becomes a Hearts great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack D and coke Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I think Holt has it in him to be more of a complete midfielder. Im still waiting for the signs that Holt has all the potential we were all told he has tbh. To say he has the makings of a complete midfielder is stretching things just a little bit. Hes got a nice touch and good control but I haven't seen evidence of much else. He's a patchy performer at best. On the subject of Gomis the early signs are good and only him and Buaben got pass marks in the recent cup match with Celtic which puts to bed the theory about him not being able to produce at a higher level and he'd be my first name on the team sheet every week at the moment. The couple of misplaced passes against Dumbarton last week were about the first ones I can remember him having this season. He's been head and shoulders or most consistent performer. A tremendous signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Gary Mackay??? Hard working, industrious, longstanding ... legend if you must ... but a "complete central midfielder"? Gary MacKay was a good midfielder. Had a touch of everything to his game and played in an era Scottish football was stronger. Like anyone he had a dip and I remember him being heckled for quite a while but he came good again. Gary was excellent in possession and often had a calming influence as much as his trademark bursting runs created and caused danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego10 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I've said I rate Gomis and I think he's very good. But a midfielder who doesn't score or create goals isn't a 'complete' midfielder. Mackay in his prime was way better. As were numerous others. In terms of complete, Cameron is comfortably the best of the last 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
