I'm just tring to imagine Ade or Torres coming out with that.

Mike.

This is the same Fabregas who has spit at opponents and told Mark Hughes how he could never have played for Barca? Yeh, I'd be surprised too :rolleyes:

Of course he thinks he deserves to win, why the **** wouldn't he? 38 goals!

Easy on there, he never mentioned Fabregas...

jesus_thats_gre · 28-04-2008 12:26AM

Can't really argue with that. Shows you how good the overall Chelsea squad is when they are on the verge of winning the league and donn't have a single player in that list.

As said Cesc was never mentioned so whats with the attack on Cesc, it would be easy to highlight certain utd players and their behaviour over the years.

It's a bit funny that ronaldo can be player of the year but not win young player

Fabregas is obviously better at being young!

Forgot he's only 20 actually!

Iago I can't see how you can leave Gerrard out. He's been incredible since he's been given his new role behind Torres.

I agree but when did that start? Mid January or something like that?

Mr Alan · 28-04-2008 10:25AM

Gerrard - Goals: 2, Assists: 1, Big Games Played Well In: 0

Galvasean · 28-04-2008 10:51AM

Although i'm glad Fabregas got young player of the year I don't see how what with ronaldo being nomintated for it AND winning player of the year.

Just taught I'd address that Fabregas has taken a dip in form lately, but still gets an assist in nearly every game. Damn dip.. :mad:
So, he got 19 assists so far. As far as i can tell thats the most in the Premiership (correct me if Ive missed someone).
Young is very impressive: 17 assists and 7 goals. Worthy of his spot in the PFA team.

Death or Glory · 28-04-2008 10:53AM

Looking at that, the L1 team would probably beat CCC team in a 90 min game IMO

Of course he will have a high goal and assist record for a central midfielder who plays up front.

For me Barry gets the nod, 8 goals 10 assists and he is a proper central midfielder. He has played better and more consistent in the smallest squad in the premiership.

No reflection on Gerrards ability but he has had an average season compared to the high levels he has set in the past, so for me it would Barry.

I'm glad too, felt Fabregas deserved the young player award. I guess players who voted figured the same.
Fabregas deserved a young player award while Ronaldo can be sated with the actual player of the year award.

It's ludicrous that he's even in their to be honest, sure Torres is in there too! A re-jigging of the system to account for the fact that kids develop much younger these days is required.

Still, the two players of the seasons who were really amazing for their teams in the title challenge.

It's stupid the way it's done. He was included in both so should have won both. The way people voted though was if he wasn't in the young player category which makes the system pointless really if you can just disregard people. He should have won both or only been included in one.

Mr Alan · 28-04-2008 11:02AM

oh my word boggles

please take off your blinkers. Gerrard > Barry. He has been better than him this year consistantly, from the start of the season. IIRC even Villa fans were questioning Barrys form for a good part of the season. I like Barry as a player, but Steven Gerrard he is not.

grames_bond · 28-04-2008 11:02AM

its like years ago when zidane won world player of the year but henry won european player of the year, even tho zidane was in the same shortlist!!

No blinkers on Mr. Alan, Barry has been better than Gerrard this season and deserves to be ahead of him in that team. Fabergas didn't show up for 10 games in a row but he is still in it.

As for those 2 players going missing, I remember having to ask on a good number of occasions deep into a match was Gerrard even playing?

Sure your own manager is trying to sign Barry, persumably to relplace the underperforming Gerrard.

ONE player from the Leeds side that, on paper, are the top team in the league?!

complete s**t.

jank · 28-04-2008 11:08AM

As for imagining Adebayor saying it, thats all we can ever do. Didnt he say he'd ring Arsene Wenger and retire if Arsenal didnt win the league this season

No! Link?

Mr Alan · 28-04-2008 11:10AM

I've watched a number of games where i have questioned whether Ronaldo has been playing....still the best player in the league this year. Gerrard has had a super year this year.

Why didn't you just ask who scored?

Yea, but goals always makes you the better player.:D If you dont score you are ****, if you do you are great. Just check out the old Henry vs Van Nistelrooy threads!:eek:

Death or Glory · 28-04-2008 11:15AM

Jokeshop that we (Leeds) only have 1 player.

Casper Ankergran, David Prutton and Rui Marques should all be in there along with Beckford

PHB · 28-04-2008 11:16AM

I can see the argument about Gerrard.

Gerrard has been great in his new role behind Torres. That role is the exact same position that Tevez plays.
Tevez is a striker. Gerrard is a midfielder? But he's playing up front?
The only way not to include Gerrard is if you consider him as a forward now instead of a midfielder.

If you consider him a midfielder, then he deserve to be in there. If you consider him a forward, his goal and assist tally are good, but not overly impressive.

p.s. I'm not saying that Barry should be in there. Jesus christ no. If it's not Gerrard it should be Flamini or Essien.

I was thinking about this a while ago, wanted to get back into it, cause ya know, Van Nist tore it up in La Liga while Henry couldn't hack it :P

Gerrard has played in central midfield for the vast majority of the season. And was playing well there before Christmas.

If we're getting into positions; ronaldo? midfielder?

reeeeally!
