haha, but I can see where you are coming from, I think Arbeloa has very quietly gone about becoming a very good rb and does privde a lot of support to the team down the right. Even his crosses are getting better. If he contiunes in this vein he will have saved us a **** load of cash, esp seeing how much boswingwa and Alves went for

[Marky]

Aye forgot about S.Ireland, he's been on fire all season.

[dww]

Ireland has been great for himself but not been a great cog in the city machine. If he can continue his form once City have a balanced team then I will be really impressed.

Giovanni - Some of those goals have just been silly. One season wonder i think but still

Gutierrez - I'd take him in a heartbeat to replace Pennant. Such a "Rafa" player too.

Young & Zaki obviously.

Doesn't Gutierrez play on the left (and would cost much, much more than Pennant)?

I don't think Gutierrez is consistent enough. He shows promise in glimpses. He might turn good next season

Robert Green has had another very solid season in goal for West Ham and whilst in a generally poor Tottenham team I think Tom Huddlestone continues to do OK.

I was thinking exactly that watching him yesterday. Aside from Shay Given he was the only one who had a decent game and his defensive work would not have gone unnoticed by Rafa I am sure. Plus he is Argentinian.

Stephen Ireland and Steinsson at Bolton have been good.

Hangeland too.

[Shaggy]

Believe it or not - given he had a poor game against us and continually handballed - but the lad Ilunga at West Ham has impressed me this season.

[blacky]

Stephen Ireland - Outstanding for city all season
Ashley Young - This guy has the potential to be a superstar
Anelka - A player we should never have let go

[AFII]

Owen. Showed that he is still a deadly finisher.

Lennon. The best Spurs player by a mile this season.

Young. The best winger in the league.

Given. Newcastle would be bottom of the league without him.

[Neil Young]

Non LFC players only. For me:

Ricardo Fuller - the new Jason Roberts in my book. He was so bad last time in the PL I think that his improvement is worthy of note.

Frank Lampard - played from a less deep base without a proper deep lying holding player (Mikel still looks like a player learning the job IMO) has been much more creative this season. Less goals for him without Drogba up top to run off but overall he has excelled in the sort of slight change to his position that has floored him for years in the England team.

Denilson: Not the ideal player for the Arsenal team but his personal performances have been excellent.

Ashley Young: Keeps getting better - uses his pace well, neat close skills now crosses well regularly and has improved his finishing.

Ian Ashbee: used to watch him at Cambridge United - always looked a decent player but never thought I would see him in the PL but he has been a steady performer and good leader.

Overall the Bolton, Hull and Fulham teams have impressed me relative to how well I thought they would do.

The curse of dww strikes again.
