Tough, competitive poll.

Pablo for me.

Saiz for me ...

Not as an attacking mid... We even commented here a number of times we never replaced Saiz even when we had Pablo.

Apologies, I'd forgotten about the frustrating Saiz.

5 goals in 53 appearances.

I can't recall myself raving about him too much, more like tearing my hair out in frustration.

Cue Hector!

So instrumental in that Bielsa team.

Where would we'd have been without him?

Even Cjay keeps on posting up the Pablo thread in 2026.

I thought Saiz was magic, but Pablo was El Mago.

That's ok it's a one player poll anyway, my vote not needed... Love Pablo, but he got my right wing vote. Sometimes you get two legends at one position

Obviously not as much as you think you remember....

Or you missed a lot

Not so easy this one.

Rodrigo had his moments

Klich was immense and probably is worthy of a vote

Georgie was great fun to watch and had a season as good as Pablo ever had that one season.

Saiz was really good for us briefly as well, shame how it ended

But Pablo is legendary

Carried us at times for multiple seasons well into his 30s even as his body started to give out.

So Pablo

Even if others could easily have been voted for

Klich is an 8 for me, saving my vote for the CMF vote

Pablo.
Probably go for Klich in the next midfield option unless someone else really stands out.

I suppose you're being funny.

Pablo the obvious choice.

Pablo Hernandez, he plays for United with Kiko Casilla

Post by **1964white** » Fri Oct 02, 2026 3:52 pm

Pablo looking like a convincing winner!

Not a whitewash though

The Subhuman · Post by **The Subhuman** » Fri Oct 02, 2026 5:01 pm

Expected result

Pablo 15
Klich 2
Saiz 1 ...

no others show
