My only fear is that either Buffon or Neddy wins it and then gets attracted to Chelski's mega-offers .. I know they are loyal players but in football crazier deals have happened before :frown:

I had heard a whole lot of talk that Neddy was actually the favorite to win it this year.
Is that true, mere Italian propaganda, or a combo of the two??
His play so far this year shouldn't diminsih his chances to win, although it's technically not supposed to be based on this year's performance.
That's like saying the MVP award in baseball, basketball, and american football are supposed to be based on the regular season and noth the playoffs as well.

neddy doesn't have to win the golden ball to be on the list of chelsky. he is already approached by them and although i find the money very tempting (none of it will end in my pocket) i find it hard to see juventus without nedved!!! but in that same area i also couldn't see juventus without zidane and BOOM comes nedved to fill the gap brilliantly!!! perhaps the stankovic rumers would be correct and he will end up defending the black and whites next season!
Monaco 
Yes, Nonda was brilliant last year and perhaps he would be nominated if it wasn't for his long term injury. Everyone knows what Prso did in his absence and it's not like Nonda isn't as good as Prso so.. and Nonda made a fine start to the season, scoring in just about all of the early games.
But Giuly really is something else, he's the captain and a real leader to the team, he scores a lot of important goals, as we speak he's top scorer for Monaco with 7 so far this year. Sort of like Nedved is to Juve if you will.
