Basically what it says in the title. Who has really come on as a player over the last year or so? Maybe gone from being a bench player to one of the first on the team sheet? Or a starter who's really starting becoming a game changer for you. For Man United there were a few options IMO. Evra and Vidic have really become strong players for United, and Vidic is the piece we needed to solidy our back line and he's a force in the air as well (sorry Wes Brown), and Patrice has gone from a questionable buy to a pretty good one over the lost 3-4 months. But the player who has improved most of the last year for me is Louis Saha, who went from being a bench player who played rarely apart from the Carling Cup matches, to being our leading scorer in Europe. He had talent before but he is playing maybe the best football of his life at the moment and he's knocking in all sorts of goals. I would have never thought that in the space of 12 months his importance to the club would change so dramatically. So who's the player for you?
Over the past 4-5 years it has to be Lampard, his gone from a very basic average player to worldclass material.
For me It has to be Robin Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas. Both young players that wenger has moulded into world class players
For Arsenal I'd say Toure. I think he is a top defender and last season, especially with the Gunners Champ League exploits... I'd put him up there with the best defenders in the League. (Carragher and Terry) For Man U I think Vidic. I have always rated Saha, he was just unlucky with injuries before. Vidic looks strong, organised and very well suited to the PRemiership. Liverpool - Sissoko or Agger. Sissoko until he got injured was immense. He was the nearest thing to Viera. Doesn't have the composure or technical ability on the ball, but his workrate, closing down and tackling is second to none. Agger has looked a top player this season. His composure on the ball and distribution have added a new dimension to the team. Hyypia and Carragher would often use long balls forward, if Alonso was heavily marked in the centre. With Agger he is confident and good enough to bring the ball out of defence. Two assists yesterday and solid defensively, highlights his improvement. Chelsea - Drogba. Lots of people got on his back last season and footballing wise I'm not sure why. His diving / play acting was shocking at times, but I have always rated him as a player. He works hard and would be horrible to play against. This season he has added more goals, less play acting and is justifying his big fee.
