Brodel Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and Barcelona team-mates Carles Puyol and Lionel Messi are the only players to have broken the stranglehold of the Premier League's 'big four', Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Zoom7000 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Even better chance that a midfielder who plays for an English team will win the midfielders award! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajputwarrior Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 ronaldo is a midfielder.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 ronaldo is a midfielder.... He is not though really. Officially a "winger", but he cuts inside and often plays off Man Utd's leading man, which is the main reason why he scores so many goals. I think Torres or Messi deserve to win the award, but Ronaldo will get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappy Veteran Posted August 28, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 28, 2008 Think these are the winners so Sky Sports says... Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has been named Uefa's European Club Player of the Year.Ronaldo inspired United to their UEFA Champions League success last season, scoring eight goals in the competition, including one in the final against Chelsea. The Portuguese international was also named as forward of the year following his goalscoring exploits. Last season's losing finalists Chelsea dominated the rest of the awards in Monaco with three of their stars picking up the other prizes. Petr Cech scooped the goalkeeper of the year, John Terry was named defender of the year and the midfielder of the year award went to Frank Lampard.

gregb0b Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 (Y) I disagree with Ronaldo being the player of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted September 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2008 Adebayor is better than Rooney, I agree but these awards are based on last season's CL performance and well Adebayor didn't make it as far as Rooney so he doesn't win. Adebayor is one hell of a striker. I like the way he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
