VT Supporter flashingqwerty Posted December 31, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted December 31, 2008 Now that we have completed 2008 matches i thought it would be nice to see who you all think was out 'stand out' player of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Petrov for the turn in fortunes. Second comes between Laursen, Young and Carew fro me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I love the "other - please specify" button. Exactly how are you supposed to do that? :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 It's too easy to say Ashley Young or Martin Laursen. But I'd like to give this erroneous award to the player who has made the most improvement, Gabriel Agbonlahor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Laursen all the way, can't recall him having a bad game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator BOF Posted December 31, 2008 Moderator Share Posted December 31, 2008 For me it's Ash. Without him this whole thing wouldn't work. He is the primary reason we are where we are. Not the only reason, obviously. But the primary one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the only reason, obviously. But the primary one. That's true. However, is this thread really about who was the best player? Or the one that stood out the most for whatever reason? I think that by January 2008 we already knew what Ash was capable of, arguably his better performances came in the first half of last year also. Arguably. However for me, Gabbys improvement, his willingness to learn, eclipses the undoubted talent Young already possessed. Just my tuppence mind :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I looked down the list, tried to pick someone other than Ash but... just couldn't. He's our most important player and has been exceptional this year. We've come to take him for granted. As shown by him being prem player of the month but not ours (not saying Petrov didn't deserve it but we were moaning about him not being as good as last season!)

Just my tuppence mind Gabby improved more but Ash is still better by miles and for that reason gets my vote. Giving it elsewhere because Ash is somehow the obvious choice doesn't make sense to me. If Ash is the obvious choice, it's because he's been that good; that important; and therefore deserves the plaudits. That be my tuppence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Calendar year: Young This season so far: Petrov Same here, with honourable mentions for Barry, Gabby and Luke Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Not too sure as all of them have done it for the team. Probably Young, Laursen or Petrov but Gabby has improved so much this year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
