Gene_Clark 12 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Frankly, I suggest that whenever there is a poll available for this, people vote for "all of them." I can see arguments for Krul, Colo, Tiote, Cabaye, Ba, Cisse & Ben Arfa (with recognition of prior efforts by both Taylors, as well as Guthrie, Best & Simpson for sterling graft). However, to avoid us being a team of egotists again, the winner(s) must be .... the entire squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20156 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I think its been a great effort by all, from players to backroom staff. If I had to pick a top 3 it would be. 1. Krul - Stepped up the level and more to become a top Prem keeper. He has won us many points this season. 2. Cabaye - Slotted in like a seasoned Prem player. The two assists today show how valuable he is too us. 3. Colo - The rock at our defence, need we say more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio 0 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Krul, Coloccini and Ba are my 3 stand out players that have done it over a long period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortoon 0 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Krul, Coloccini and Ba are my 3 stand out players that have done it over a long period. Colo for me. But you cant go wrong with those 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Krul has been the most consistently higjh performer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Tough one like, so many have stood out this season. Without looking that those who havent really played the full season (recent headliners like Perch, Cisse and HBA) I'd likely go for Krul as well. Just consistent though Colo cant be far behind. Aye, Id say Krul as I cant recall him having a dip in form etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene_Clark 12 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 It's ironic in the sense that Hughton did everything to have a team that joined together, but failed because of Nolan, Barton, Smith & Harper's egos (while the 4 of them ostensibly stood together as the saviours of our club). Pardew has arrived from nowhere & got that unanimity of purpose from the squad this season; consequently, give the lot of them a pat on the pack.

hostile_statue 0 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 For me: 1. Colo 2. Krul 3. Ba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Honestly can't pick one player above all the others. Ba at the start of the season was a goal machine but he's still just as effective in his deeper role. Krul has been a rock at the back and has turned into a keeper a good number of us never thought he was capable. Colo has been absolute class, and his role as captain has obviously been key. Jonas hasn't stopped grafting and has filled in several positions effectively. I'm a big fan of the guy. I think I'd have to go with Colo though as he's just been imperious for us all season. Magnificent player. If HBA had been putting in levels of performance that matched the last 4 games over an entire season though then he'd be my undoubted player of the season.

Alain Pardeiux 0 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Colo, Krul or Ba for me too. Im going to give Colo the nod as his hair is more inspirational than Kruls or Dembas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CabayeAye Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Most talented player: Ben Arfa Most effective player: Cissé Most important player (this season): Krul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Ba and Cisse have put in 2 of the best half seasons I can remember from a striker. Krul and Colo have kept it up for the full season though so it's between them 2 for me. Ben Arfa and Saylor both had pretty immense runs in the team as well. And Shola has looked a better player this season than ever before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 2980 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Guti definitely deserves some kudos. His workrate is excellent. Krul and Colo have been critical to our success. Also, the likes of Cabaye and Tiote have been good. Then there's Guthrie, Raylor, and Saylor who should not go without mention. And if Ben Arfa had played more games he'd be in the mix too. But all in all I think Ba deserves player of the season firstly for his goals but also for his workrate. For a striker he works very very hard. But for me if Ba scores a few more goals before the end of the season I don't think there should be much debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7295 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Great that this is a tough choice for all the good reasons. Krul and Colo were the core of the side so critical in laying the foundation for our great start to the season, so it would have to be one of them. Most likely Coloccini.

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 The fact that people are naming a few tells it's own story. Pushed to really single one out I would go for Krul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
