eldo 868 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Agreed....solid player, important player, likeable player, very good player, but in my opinion if he's Player of the Year ever for Chelsea then that says more about everyone else's level that year than it does about his.Sice when is Chelsea player of the season chosen because he is a world class player?

SinineUltra 1,170 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I think some of you are undervaluating Ivan. For most part he has been instrumental in our CB role and still is in the absence of Luiz but he is always picked over Bosingwa for the RB role. Sure he might not do overhead kicks, grab goals like Luiz has in the recent past but he has been there for us the whole season, he has always been an arial threat and he was horribly unlucky not to score during ManCity game. One thing that stick out in comments is also that you regard Ivanovic as a player who can't progress, i mean ofcourse if Ivan shines with his performances it's bcs others suck. Irony aside... - In my eyes he has made a big progress as a player, he is there for the team and plays with his heart and soul, that is what counts in my eyes.If it's about glassmen like VdV/Robben/Ribery who are gamechangers when they actually are fit or stable contributors like Ivan, i take stability anyway.

pachman40 357 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 PotY awards are about performances and not actual skill..Very few of our big stars have consistently performed at their peak this season so it's natural players of lesser ability will have a greater shout.That's understood, and when I used Lamps, Drogs, and Cole as examples I didn't for one second mean to suggest they deserved consideration this year. I just have a hard time considering players of "lesser ability" for an award like this. I just think that's a sad statement about the rest of the candidates. I know that sounds like I'm bashing Brano but I honestly like him. His performances have been very good this year, no doubt, and its great that he's getting recognized for his importance to the team, but it just boggles my mind that people would say his performances have been better than JT's or Cech's.

He was there when JT and Alex were both injured.It would be boring if JT wins it. Fans sing songs about him every game. They don't that much to Cech, that's one of the reasons why I am going to vote for Cech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a vital solid player. I guess some of my posts may have come across as undervalueing him simply because I don't bow down to him but I just think some people overvalue him. That doesn't mean I hate the kid.As for the glassmen/stability question, I'd rather have a balance. You can't have one without the other. I also happen to think that Cech and JT are far from glassmen and actually fit your definition of stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Cole's not actually been that bad this year in fairness. You have to appreciate last season was his ultimate peak and he will only sporadically reach those heights again. He's still been a consistent 7/10 player for us, bar the odd poor game.

22mek22 133 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Player of the season is coming up and I have singled the contenders to 3 players: Cech, Iva and RamiresIn my opinion it's Bran but what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjen Robben 55 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I voted for Petr Cech, he's been one of the better players in Chelsea this year.Ivanovic, ewww.Ramires, doesn't deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
