[Guillaume]

Pavel Nedved, Paolo Maldini, Gianluigi Buffon or Thierry Henry? Maybe Nedved...

 

[claupastore]

nedved all the way, but i will be happy if maldini wins it or buffon but he already won the uefa player of the year so i doubt that he'll win this

 

[RUSI]

Count again. it's 8.
What is Salgado doing there? I'm kidding.

 

[RUSI]

i think that they pick out of all of them

 

[IceBlu]

15 Serie A players more than any other league


and like Mark said, 9 Italians and more importantly - 6 Juve players


Nedved all the way ! no one deserves it more.


PS: great to see Zambrotta on the list. He surely deserves a mention. He was the player who played the maximum last season for Juve.


and oh, what the hell are Beckham, Kluivert, Mutu, Salgado, Trezeguet and Wiltord doing on that list ?

 

[-William-]

Give it to Nedved or if not Raúl

 

[RUSI]

Hernann Crespo deserves to be on that list easily

 

[Punkt]

1- Nedved
2- Raúl
3- Buffon

 

[PSVFOREVER]

Nedved, but I see Zlatan(he is a good player), I don't want a whole Zlatan-Kezman discussion again, but Kezman scored 35 while Zlatan only about 15

 

[manutd4eva]

RVN or Nedved

 

[ogsimon]

i believe that nedved, henry or van nistlerooy will win it

 

[Gilista]

It has to be P.Neved. Here are my top 3 picks,

1)Neved(Juventus)
2)Mutu(Parma to Chelsea)
3)Deco(Porto)

 

[Voltaic Borusse]

I'd love for Jan Koller to win it, but of course, I'm just being biased.

I'd say fellow Czechy, Pavel Nedved. Or Raul.
