Ryan Gravenberch

That's fantastic, fair play to him.

[BootRoom]

Tremendous.

[peterbread]

Only 23 and had some ups and downs in his career already and has come through them showing he has the mentality to match his ability.

The midfield look set for years to come with the age they are all at. Exciting times ahead.

[RedReet]

Fully deserved. He was peerless in midfield first half of season. Scary to think how good he might be in a few years.

[Buzzo]

Hands up who saw this coming. Stellar second season. Think this kid can only get better and better.

Saw these stats that show what a great season he’s had. These are for the every team in the premier league.

1st for Interceptions - 57
2nd for Possession won - 182
2nd for Possession won in middle 3rd - 103
3rd for successful passes - 1583
4th for ball carry progress - 2385m

He’s not going to go in with big crunching tackles but he clearly reads the game very well and knows where to be and wins the ball in good areas and can tackle too. He should only get stronger physically as he gets used to the position and the physicality of the league now he’s playing regularly which was one of people’s criticism the season before. Also considering his age as well.

Great all round midfielder. Maybe a bit greedy but if he can develop a bit of a long range shot because he often gets into those positions but never really has a go.

And that's despite him being overplayed and fatigued in some parts of the season.

On a related note, a Chelsea fan was bigging up Caicedo with similar stats. Pretty similar numbers to be fair. Except for two: £105million + 1 PL Trophy.

Given his age, and inexperience in the Premier League and in the position, this has been a phenomenal contribution, albeit somewhat serendipitous due to the Zubimendi business. He got us out of a big hole.

And for someone so young he’s won 5 championship medals now which is outrageous.

Grav, most highly match rating wise consistently, thus player of the season for me imo, coupled with the fact as others have pointed out above, had to move to a new role deeper, but revelation wise, imo became world class (made a point of this early in the season, that if he keeps up his early performances, he'll be deemed world class)...player of the season for us

Yeah I agree actually. Mo, Macca, Virg & Ali have been incredible for most of the season but all had dips whereas Grav was more consistent in his altered midfield role. He filled a huge hole that all of us thought would derail our season but instead he became our hero.

[Exiled_red]

Grav is too old for that sadly.

Yeah you have to have been 21 or under at the start of the season, they changed if from a 23 a few years ago, Gravenberch turned 22 last May.

[Norbs]

Oh I don't remember that - can I change my answer then?

[DerKrampus]

He can be young player of the year, and we split the player of the year among the 3 grown ups
