The lack of John Terry disturbs me. He always gets overlooked.

Okocha and Drogba have no business being on that list. After last season's performance, neither does Ruud, but you know what they say; form is temporary, class is permanent...

Apparently Gerrard has the best chance of an English player getting it. I'd like to see Stevie win, but I'd prefer to see Young Roon get it.

Notice how almost all on that list are forwards?

I hate it how (mostly)defenders are always overlooked when these things come to mind. So biased.

That said, i'd like to see Lampard, Gerrard, Robben or Rooney win. They came a long way this year. have really improved.

WTF are Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo, Maldini, Zidane, Nistelrooy etc doing on that list? Those people are fossils already.

Make way for the youth

Robben was a revelation for most of last season. Essien, I didn't see at Lyon. He must have had a good season, otherwise Chelsea wouldn't have bought him.

I'm assuming you not agreeing nor disagreeing with that statement.

And then, hopefully, he'll lift the Premiership trophy with Man United

Robben deserves to be on the list, I'm not sure about Essien.
