Early Runners for Player of the Year

kida

My Favourites currently would be

Lampard(Not deserving but I feel will get it)
Terry
Heinze

Not really much outside of these 3 - No Arsenal player has really stood out this year.

Maybe SWP - should get young player

Anyone know when its voted for this year.

Steven Gerrard. Now let the auguments begin!

Mike.

kida

He will prob be nominated - IMHO there is very few oustanding players this season.

PHB

Graveson, could definally do it if he makes his name at Real Madrid, outstanding player for everton, chance for the big time.

Some possibles for me anyway!
De Foe
Shaun Wright Philips
Roy Keane(realy hitting form)
Steven Gerrard(not at his best this season as of yet)
Robben
Duff
Graveson (maybe not now as he has departed)
Henry(i expect him to be in with a shout come end of season)
Thats all i can think of at moment!
Personaly id love to see some one like SWP to get it !

I'd say once again he's been dragging Liverpool by the scruff of the neck ala Roy on the way to last world cup. Played off the park by Keane last weekend but I'm happy to go along with the groin injury story.

Bias aside I'd expect to see either Terry or Lampard winning it from kida's original shortlist.

Duff

As long as Robben and Duff continue the way they are Robben will always get it ahead of Duff. Duff has been more effective both offensively and defensively this season for Chelsea yet he can't even make poll's like those on www.icons.com . The question: "Who has been Chelsea's most valuable player this season?". The options:
Cech
Terry
Makelele
Lampard
Robben

Whenever someone has to choose between Duff and Robben, the vast majority of people will chooce the latter.

BTW, nobody going for Andy Johnson? Surely if Defoe can be in with a shout Johnson can too. Graveson's hardly going to get it on half a season in the league.

Certainly Andy Johnson should be in contention im sure there are others im just throwing a blank at the min

Heinze will win.

continued part of the sentence:
nothing but praise from people this season

Chucky the tree

gerrard, hes been the only stand out player that has dragged liverpool along this season, especially important if they get champions league spot.

no other player has been as influential to a team then him this season, except maybe andy johnson.

roy keane and heinze have been excellent but i feel united could cope without one of those better the pool could without gerrarg or palace without johnson.

Gileadi

how a team will cope without a certain player isnt any reflection on how good he is,its more a reflection on the squad depth and how thin the pool squad is on any player who could be compared to mr.G

my players of the season would have to be from the following

Terry
Heinze
Wright-Phillips
maybe Duff but im kinda bias

First name I thought of, and in with a shout IF he helps keep Palace up.
