The young players list is pretty strong this year! Wilshere, Nasri, Nani and Bale - could be any of them. Surprised Nani, and to a lesser extent Wilshere, aren't in the main category either. Would have Nani ahead of Adam surely? Guess he ain't to popular amongst his fellow pros though... |

I ain't fan of individual awards within a team game, but if you're looking for the top 6 players who performed to their best this season, I'd have picked Edwin van der Sar Gary Cahill Scott Parker Nani Rafa van der Vaart Carlos Tevez with Nani winning it by a country mile.

i would agree that Nani should be on the shortlist, he's had a great year.
Oliver Holt in the Mirror -
Puerile, petulant and aplayactor ..why this is no super NaniBy Oliver Holt http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/columnists/holt/2011/03/30/ - 30/03/2011 A manchester United fan asked me the other day if I would consider voting for Nani as Footballer of the Year. Well, maybe there is a way of saying this more gently, but I'm not going to waste time searching for it. I'd get my back waxed before I voted for Nani. If it was a choice between him and the beachball that scored against Liverpool last season, I'd take the beachball. If it was vote Nani or watch a box set of Ian Wright on Live From Studio Five, I'd settle down in front of the TV. If Ashley Cole said it was either put the cross by the Portuguese or help him with target practice, I'd start running to and fro across the firing range. You're getting my drift. Nani's not in my top five this season. He's not even in my top 20. I don't like him. I don't like the way he plays the game. I don't like his puerility, his petulance or his play-acting. I don't like his blatant efforts to gain an unfair advantage. I know that by some criteria he has had a fine season for United. He has scored crucial goals. He is a fine dribbler. His game has matured. But that's not enough. Not when you behave the way he does. Not when you do what he did against Spurs this season. Not when you try a delayed dive that could easily have got Younes Kaboul sent off. Not when you then handle the ball as you fall. And not when you take advantage of confusion between the referee and Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes to kick the ball into an empty net. I don't care which of the United players were urging him to do it - it is still probably the most glaring example of bad sportsmanship this season. Nani's at it all the time. He goes down like he has been shot at the merest excuse. He waves imaginary cards at referees to try to get opponents booked. And here's the saddest thing - despite the blackflips and the cartwheels when he scores, there is actually very little joy in his game. He plays with a scowl. He plays with anger. He plays like everyone is against him. It has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. When he was genuinely hurt by a shocking tackle from Jamie Carragher at Anfield earlier this month, no one believed him at first because of his history. He had a gash in his leg that put him out for a couple of weeks but he's cried wolf so often that when he really was a victim of a bad tackle, people thought he was up to his old tricks again. Being anti-Nani isn't an anti-United thing. Not for me, anyway. I wouldn't vote for Didier Drogba for exactly the same reasons. And, yes, I accept that England players such as Steven Gerrard, Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney have been guilty of winning penalties with dives in the past. Cristiano Ronaldo did his share of play-acting, too, but I came to appreciate that he was one of the bravest players in our league. He rode plenty of bad tackles and he took way more punishment than Nani. He was also twice the player that Nani is. It would be nice to think that Nani will change. That he will come to realise that in order to http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/columnists/holt/# - Until that happens, he's not in the reckoning for Footballer of the Year as far as I'm concerned. My vote is going to Scott Parker for the way he has held West Ham together almost single-handedly as they fight against relegation. Parker has been an inspiration at Upton Park, playing through injury, even playing against Spurs 10 days ago a few hours after the death of his father. He has been a beacon of excellence in a struggling team. He has given everything to the cause. He has done it without moaning and without agitating for a move. He exudes class off the pitch and on it. There are plenty of others for whom you could say the same. My top five this season are Parker, Luka Modric, Jack Wilshere, Nemanja Vidic and John Terry. So here's a tip for Nani. When you play at Upton Park on Saturday, try to stay on your feet for a couple of minutes. And while you're there, take a look at how Scott Parker goes about his business. You never know, you might learn something. |

Jaysus the senior list is shocking!
Nani should in the hunt to win the thing!
Van Der Vaart?
Berbatov is the top scorer too so should be considered compared to others.
Also, Van Der Sar as well considering Giggs won it last year because of his age and only started 12 games or something, if they applied the same rule to VDS who has played for the majority of the season at a top level.
The young player is decent and about right, apart from Hernandez's ommission.
Suppose, these nominations are done around January, that's the problem.
Don't know why it is not in the last few weeks.

im not sure he should be in contention, the others have started a lot more games i would guess? but he has had a good debut season from the little time he has had on the field, actually i'd probably have him on the shortlist ahead of Bale, take out the two Inter CL games and Bale wouldn't be getting mentioned

Would agree with that list although Nasri would be unlucky to miss out,with Parker winning it. He hasa proved himself to be the ultimate professional this season.

Spot on about Bale but I would adjust it to a game and a half.Was he playing the first half in the San Siro? Though I do think Wislshere does look class they still seem to be misreading the type of player he is and keep going on that England should deploy him further forward, 'like Arsenal do'.You only see him in the opposition box for Arsenal in home games against teams who sit deep. He is a deep lying thoughtful midfielder and will have a good career.

While I completely agree with you that Barlow's point about what Charlie Adams did at Rangers 2 years ago is completely moot and, in the main, a ridiculous point (barlow NEVER makes a good point - (check out teh Rooney 2 match ban thread for a great example)), I have to call you up on your stats about Javier Hernandez. The lil Pea - as they call him back home - finished as the joint-third top scorer, with eleven goals in seventeen appearances in the 2009 Apertura. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javier_Hern%C3%A1ndez_Balc%C3%A1zar#cite_note-3 - He started the 2010 Bicentenario in Mexico with eight goals in five games. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javier_Hern%C3%A1ndez_Balc%C3%A1zar#cite_note-4 - He finished as a joint-leader in the goalscoring chart for the Bicentenario with ten goals in eleven games. In total, you said he didn't score in two seaosn - he scored 24 goals in those two seasons for Guadlahara - who do NOT play in the second division. Time to get a new statatician me thinks HeyIrish!

fair enough directly before he went to united yours stats are right but in the 2 years before you mention he hadnt scored in 2 years
bottom line is saying adam shouldnt be player of the year due to not getting a game for rangers is wrong imo ------------- karl pilkington to doctor when getting prostate examined: jesus thats high up that is, fcuking hell, right you're touching a lung now |

agree re bale - still living off inter milan
Depends in which context you look at these nominations. Considering the players Charlie Adam has around him I think he is arguably player of the year. People say Scott Parker has west hem where they are on his own but if Charlie Adam wasnt with Blackpool firstly they would never have got up and secondly would already be back down whereas some like nani and tevez etc have brilliant players around him to help give them more oppurtunities.
The manager of the year is similar. Some parts of the media think Ollie Hollway should be manager of the year for doing what he has done with players, budget etc but Utd are top of the league so surely Ferguson should be manager of the year.
thats why the likes of Adam and Parker are on the list and deserve to be. Stats dont tell you the full story. 40% of people know that ------------- karl pilkington to doctor when getting prostate examined: jesus thats high up that is, fcuking hell, right you're touching a lung now |

If your looking at it from the point of view of how important the player is to the team then nani and tevez are very important Tevez has scored almost 50% of citys goals in the league ffs, nani has directly contributed to 25 league goals in a united shirt! Even without basing it on stats you could argue that its easier to stand out in a team of inferior players like blackpool than in a team like united or city Although i wouldnt apply this to scott parker- he has had a great season for west ham- he has carried that team at times he puts in 100% every week which is more than can be said for some of those west ham players ( carlton cole) etc ------------- It took City 44 years to win the league and 10 months to lose it |

Bale could win. The Premiership players vote, not journalists/fans. They'll get a list of people and not put too much thought into it. They'll see Bale and say "yeah great player, brilliant against Inter Milan" and vote for him. Even though it wasn't even a league game which is what the award should be based on.
Can see it going to Tevez and Bale

Been a poor season regarding individuals and the list proves it. Charlie Adam well deserves his place in it . How people can think otherwise is beyond me. Tevez has been the best though this year for me. Yes he's a tramp and a gypsy but he has weighed in with plenty of goals/assists . There is no harder working player in World football.
Wilshere will win the young player award as he is English and they will continue to wank over him. . Big praise goes to our own Seamus Coleman , Sligo Rovers to one of the best talents in England in 2 years

Its actually ridiculous that Bale is the fave for the player of the year award, he hasnt done anything spectacular in the premier league. His best performances came in europe like.
Its also a joke that Nani isnt on the senior list, his most productive season ever. 12 goals and 13+ assists in all competitions. Only gets a young player nomination, he's 24 I believe.
Robin Van Persie should also be on that list, only came back in january and has got himself around 13 goals. Pretty good return. Arsenal need him firing more than Fabregas or anyone else. ------------- What are you looking at? |

The reason Nani isnt on the list is because of his behaviour, he needs to grow up and stop acting the maggot. Conversely when Giggs won the gong he won it partly due to the fact that he comes across as a proper professional, none of the bullsh*t that you associate with Nani. |

Jesus, hard to believe you are still crying about that year Ginola won it, must have been 10 years ago now?
does the award really mean that much to supporters?

In fairness the award lost all credibility when Giggs won it last year. That's what I would call farcical. ------------- Ahh heya! |

bale in the list?? absolute joke, he's had a couple of good games but by and large he has been average. nani has been a much better player this season. fantasy football is actually a really good indicator of how good a player has been. nani is top of the midfielders list and bale is nearly 22 places behind. speaks for itself ------------- My dream has always been to play for the Republic of Ireland - James McClean. |

+1, Even though i am a spurs fan i really dont think bale should be in it at all, the media just hype it up hugely when ever he does something good.Like i have seen every spurs game this season and i cant understand why he can do what he did aganist inter and then fail to do it aganist teams in the relegation zone in the premiership  Serious lack of consistency------------- "Football isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that." |

Bale and Wilshere then
perhaps if it was player of the CL group stages id accept Bale, but he hasnt even been Tottenhams best player overall this season
not many complaints with the team of the season other than that Baines should have been at left back
How Shane Long never made the championship team is bizarre

Gareth Bale rewarded for his excellent Champions League performences with the PFA Player of the Year!.....the Player of the Year award really is a joke at this stage.

Wilshere deserved the young player award but its a joke Bale got the senior player award.
Bale is 21, and won the senior award with 2 good performances in europe.
Nani is 24, and only got a YOUNG player nomination, with an incredible season. ------------- What are you looking at? |

Graham with 24 goals and Holt with 20 goals made the team. Long has scored 21. The votes were cast around a month or two ago, this was only when Long was hitting form. At the time I'd say he only had around 15 goals and Reading would have been down in 7th or 8th. A good example as to why the voting should be done after the season ended. Graham and Holt still have had excellent seasons, can't complain too much. |

You've sort of missed my point, Bale is 21 and won the senior award with only 2 good games in europe.. he didnt get the young player award for some reason, makes no sense. Surely if he is good enough to win the senior award then he must get the young one also.
Nani is 24, and was nominated for the young player award, which is for under 23s I believe? If he was nominated for this then clearly people are voting for him. Its his most productive season ever. Hes contributed to at least 25 goals directly this season and played a part in some others. Cristiano Ronaldo produced the good even though he was a hate figure and got the awards. ------------- What are you looking at? |

As predicted by myself, Bale won the award (well I said he could win in). Basically the players get a list of names to vote from. They are not really going to analyse it, they'll just think "Bale, great player, brilliant in the CL", then vote for him. Even though he hasn't achieved anything this season in the Premier League. Think the football writers award which is done after the season has finished is a more respectable award since it is done by sports writers who actually analyse the season. Obviously nice for Bale his fellow professionals have voted for him. But it's more to do with how the media have hyped him up rather than actually deserving it. Nani should have won the senior player award, he wasn't even on the list! Then he doesn't even get the young player of the year award, because Wilshere is the media's love child. Great silly that he pips Nani who was in the same list.
Then you have the team of the year. Charlie Adam was shortlisted for the player of the year, then doesn't even make the XI!!!

Its Scott Parker for me, he has been immence again this year for the hammers, kept them up single handidly, the rest of the hammers line up should be ashamemed of then selves. They have a few England internationals Green, Bridge, Upson, Dyer and Cole along with numerous other internationals and to see a team like this struggle..... something is very wrong |

Think his season has been a little overrated because he's english
His team are going to be relegated afterall

Don't think so we would be relegated already if it wasn't for Parker but as good as he is one man can't carry 10 others. Super player well deserved award ------------- GWAN YBIG |
