My question is simple. Does Ryan Giggs deserve this award?

For me, he do not deserve this award. He did not start enough games even to win this award. Look, I'm not bitter that a Manutd player won this award. I really think Vidic or Van der Sar should won it instead. Just had this feeling that the FA gave this award to Giggs because this is somehow his last season to perform in the top flight. Maybe the gave him on sentimental purpose seeing that he had been in the Premier League forever but had never win this award.


Correct me if I'm wrong. The six nominated players are Ferdinand, Van der Sar, Ronaldo, Vidic, Giggs and Gerrard.
For me, PFA should go to Vidic.

Stop trolling. You're putting your team at disgrace.

In terms of performance in this season, i'd say it's not really his award. BUT in terms of his overall contribution for the game, I'd rather see him win it rather than anyone else. He is class, on and off the field.

Player of the Year award basically means best player for that year only, no? He'll probably deserve Player of the Decade award.

First of all, noone is blaming him. We all thought Giggs is a superb footballer but its just that this season, he had not done anything impressive for his name to be up there.

Yeah I know Fabregas could have voted him. Theo could have voted him. They are my idols but you don't share the same thinking as you idols, do you?

No offence mate. I see Liverpool fans are discussing this issue professionally. But you skystrike are being very childish. Please discuss in a proper manner.

This is what I think.

PFA Player of the Year. Definition = Best player in the league for the year 08/09.

Now lets see. Is Ryan Giggs the best player in the league this season? No. Face it. He is a good player but he is not the best. Vidic and Ronaldo are better than Giggs. I thought even Fletcher was a better player.

Hey, I'm not bitter than Manutd player won the gong. I thought Manutd have other better players than Ryan Giggs.

If Giggs is nominated, then explain why is Anelka not there? This PFA is based on the first half of the season no?

Do you know otherwise? In your opinion then, what facts make him deserving of this award? Screw Gerrard, are you saying Gigges deserves it ahead of Vidic based purely on form? Which do you think it most likely? That the players who know him and voted for him, were affected by the fact he's been one of the best players the last decade and is a top bloke in person, or that he was the best player in the league this season? Maybe my logic is flawed but I think the answer to this is pretty obvious.

Just to correct you in case Iwasn't clear enough, but I did say sentiment played a role, I didn't say they voted for him based PURELY on sentiment. Differentiate.


Added on April 27, 2009, 6:58 pmI think statements like, "well the players voted for him" is moot because this thread is asking for OUR opinions. Tell you what, sometimes fans do know more than players because some watch a lot of games. How many games do you think a player can squeeze into his busy weekly training schedule? Not to mention you have to consider they have personal lives to top it off.

I agree with Duke Red. Don't question who voted Giggs. Be it panel, coaches or players.

The main question remains, "Is Giggs the best player to win the award?"

I still think the players do not want Ronaldo to win three times in a row. rolleyes.gif If only Ronaldo is a saint like Scholes.
