Eh I like the modern ones who have the classic characteristics and the intelligence and skill like Matic.

Too slow for my liking. Never seen him do a stepover.
Always been a fan of a good CDM
Neil Lennon at Leicester for example
Or Claude Makelele at Real Madrid and Chelsea
Thought they were both excellent and were so important to the success their teams enjoyed
CDM's really are the unsung heroes
They make great captains as well

Deulofeu. I'm not saying he is a bad payer. He is quite good but IMO not the star lot of people believe he is.

Makelele was so good it became the Makelele role. Unreal at what he did, he won Chelsea titles and Jose knew it.
Paul Gascoigne.
He was over the hill when he came to Goodison and only played a season or so in a poorish team so we never expected miracles.
However even at his peak I never saw justification for the then frequent comparisons with the real elite. Flashes of inspiration but never a great player. At the time the likes of Michael Laudrup were far better creative mids.
The tears at the World Cup gave the media a story and his importance was vastly exaggerated as a result.
many would mindlessly compare him at his pre injury peak to a Ball a Best or an Iniesta. No way.

Tim Cahill runs and hides? Runs into the box and hides the goal in the back of the net more like.

Difference was Makelele knew how to tackle, intercept, read the game, pass forward, offer passing options. He was the complete midfielder who just specialised in sitting deeper because of his brilliant game awareness. Sadly he's now excused a whole generation of rubbish players who can barely play, can't pick a pass, have no awareness, but seem defensive and that's ok because it's the 'Makelele' role. Some managers even want two of these now. Ferguson never bought a proper defensive mid though and he won a pot or two. Funny that the more attacking midfielders you play the more attacking football you play.
I always thought Fellaini would be my answer to this question until the last few seasons really put a new meaning to the word overrated.
