who is your midfielder of the year ?

* Cristiano Ronaldo ( Red Devil Fc )
* Michael Essien ( Blues Fc )
* Steve Gerrad ( Walk alone Fc )
* Cesc Fabregas ( Gunners FC )
* Mikel Arteta ( Toffees Fc )
* Ryan Giggs ( Red Devil Fc )
* Steve Sidwell ( Royals Fc bt now with Bluez Fc )
* Paul Scholes ( Red Devil Fc )

mine own choice will be michael essien all the way. he was so instrumental in chelsea's season, though they didnt win the league. he played in almost all the positions and he did quite well. thats the kind of player i want in my team any day

The list is not complete without Frank Lampard

who is frank lampard ?

4 me, it gotta be no other than PAUL A. SCHOLES ! he was awesome 4 UTD '06/07 season; very instrumental in their premieship success story  --- even Henry, Fabregas & Luis Garcia said "he's the player they admire most"

C him

How come there are only premiership midfielders there?

Frank Lampard should be on that list, look at his goal tally and passes in Chelsea, you must be bringing in british sentiments here.

Anyway my midfielder of the year is Kaka, Would have chosen Essien but with due respect he did not play much of the midfield this season so he goes for my best right back.

@ Somze

Don't mind him, I even doubt it if he has ever watched any of thr premiership match

WHO IS LAMPARD? THIS SEASON WASNT LAMPARD'S SEASON. HIS GAME WAS JUST AVERAGE NOT LIKE THE OTHER SEASONS

You are asking who is Lampard after he scored 21 goals and became the second best midfielder in England?
Tell me the truth : Can you name up to 5 premiership players?

Forget Tope, he hasn't been watching premiership games or else he would have noticed Gerrard had an average season by his standards and did nothing special. And if Gerrard can make that list I dont see why high scoring Lampard cant.

Anyway here's a link of mathematical statistics of the best players this season

As you'll see Lampard came second to only Ronaldo, so even mathematics is on his side. Drop your case and put him up there.

@ Somze

I rest my case then

U KNOW WE DONT HAVE T.V AT HOME AND I DONT READ THE PAPERS SO WHY WILL I BE ABLE TO NAME 5 PLAYERS IN THE PREMISERSHIP

FROM MY OWN STANDARD, LAMPARD DIDNT LIVE UP TO EXPECTATION. HIS PERFROMANCE WAS OVER-SHADOWED MY THE LIKES OF ESSIEN, DROGBA, TERRY.

AS FOR GERRARD, HE WAS MORE INFLUENTIAL IN LIVERPOOL THAN LAMPARD IN CHELSEA. IF LAMPARD WERE TO BE IN LIVERPOOL LIKE GERRARD, LIVERPOOL WILL FINISH HALF OF THE TABLE OR ON THE VERGE OF RELEGATION

I see, well i was looking at it more objectively - from statistics.

Frank who??!

my choice francesc Fabregas

Scholes outdid em all! Kaka was phenomenal tho!

Typical Somze,
so darn SHORT-SIGHTED, can't seem 2 see beyond figures !

I repeat; Frank who?? Bollocks!!

@SOMEZ,
FROM UR POINT OF VIEW. DID LAMPARD LIVE UP TO THE BILLING THAT MADE HIM A CONTENDER FOR WORLD FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR 2 SEASON'S AGO? HE WASNT EVEN NOMINATED FOR THE PFA AWARD. HE JUST HAVE AN AVERAGE SEASON. THE FACT THAT HE SCORED 21 GOALS DOESNT SAY HE HAD A REAL GOOD SEASON. REMEMBER IN CHELSEA, HE IS GIVEN A FREE ROLE

1 cristiano ronaldo 617 2 Manchester United

Yea!! Thats my boi!!

Tell me any English player better than Steve G and I will remind u that Drogba, Essien and even Terry were more influential as player_motivators than fat frank!

Take it easy bros, due to my job i guess statistics says it all. Even normal people look at statistics when they want to take decisions like the car to buy, bank to save in, stocks to invest in etc. I watch the match I look at statistics, nothing wrong with that.

Now this is not about me or my personal view thats why i got the view from TIMES ONLINE. What is so short sighted about all this?

Like i said earlier, my best midfielder for this season is kaka but Frank deserves to be on that list put up by the poster and his goal tally and statistics proves that - no sentiments involved.

If you want to make meaningful contributions, bring up logical arguments or atleast those based on facts, dont attack me.

@tope
No he did not, but if anyone scores 21 goals and gives such amazing stats i dont care what he lives up to. Maybe thats why i like Van Nisterolyd - he scores, thats all we want. The FA can choose or decide want they want. Their team of the season was a disgrace. Carvalho and Essien is not there? Please! And Gerrard is there, how the hell? Even Soccernet disagrees with them on certain things but then again who doesnt? Remember McClown?

@kitaun
Even on your rating (premier league[b]) Lamps is the 5th best, Gerrard is 17th[/b], so how come Frank is not on that list

Two independent ratings place Frank in a good position this season -

Times Online

Premier League

How you can oppose the obvious is beyond me.

@ RuuDie

Both of us shack "CHELSEA" abi no be so?  

Leave all these Chelsea folks, I don't know anytime they hear Fat Frank's name, they start bowing down like Buddha Priest who have just heard the Name "BUDDHA" being shouted.

If all this was about better players like Essien i would be ok (has Essien scored that many goals, but i want to concur that he is more influencial than Lamps as a Motivator in midfield, like what Gerrard does for Liverpool)

So all you Chelsea folks POP QUIZ FOR YOU: Who do you prefer in your Midfield Lamps or Essien (don't give me that "they play different roles, cause who would have thought of Essien at Centre Back) If you had a choice of picking one and dropping one (i know who i would prefer and it ain't Harry Redknapp's nephew )

BUDDHA PRIESTS we await your reply, Biscen or Fat Frank
