C.Ronaldo. He is outstanding this season. He assists and scores goals. His role is MU is too important.
2nd should be Drogba. Having his greatest season so far.

well i'm biased towards Didi, simply because i'm a Chelsea fan! smile.gif

but actually his 30 goals is quite a feat esp considering that the last Chelsea player who achieved this was good ol' Dixie! (Kerry Dixon)

and C Ronaldo has been earning some negative reviews for his 'falls' recently (v Middlesbrough) so that may count against him. but i think it would boil down to honours won by the end of the season...

Maybe...
But I think Man Utd won't suffer, it's just that the goal margin they win the game will be smaller... and with the defense line stretching nearing a snap, it's important to have him on the side... tongue.gif

Then how'd you define outstanding? From my knowledge, without Carra, would Liverpool be at where they are right now? Without Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, would Man Utd be this winning this much? Can Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney attack without worrying much about their defensive duties?

By the way, as a Liverpool fan, has Stevie G done enough this season to be nominated? Reputation plays a big role. And to compare youngsters, I don't think Agger has not done enough to be nominated among the young player of the year, in fact, I thought he was consistent and one of the brightest young stars in the making. How about Lita from Reading? Micah Richards was mentioned because he was a Chelsea's target signing although he came out from Man City

Gerrard now is like Becks was back then. The golden boy of English football. Be it whether he's crap in the season or not, he'll always be there in the list of nominees, down more to reputation than anything I reckon.

I reckon Vidic,Carragher or Essien should be in that list instead of Gerrard and possibly Fabregas. Personally I was surprised seeing that Essien was not in the list considering the season he's having for Chelski.

As for Man United suffering if Ronaldo was not around, bull I say. We play as a team and in that team we have many game changers i.e. Rooney, Scholesy, Giggsy, Carrick and Saha to name a few. So no, we'll still do fine.

I won't go and say that he's crap this season though... tongue.gif However, he doesn't deserve as much as Carra though. I'm surprised that Essien isn't among the nominees too

Dont get me wrong here as I've voted for the Portugal winger and I truly think that he deserves it. It's just that I felt bad for Carra and fellow good defenders for not being nominated.
Carra definitely deserves to be nominated, even if it's in place of Stevie G. He has been a model of consistency since being moved to centreback. I disagree with the suggestion that isn't enough to get you nominated. How does a defender perform the spectacular? By scoring goals are Terry does? Then the voting would be biased towards strikers and midfielder, perhaps it is. Carra had made dozens of timely interventions or last ditch tackles playing behind what many consider an average Liverpool team. Terry is surrounded by a team of superstars. While I agree with Terry being nominated, I disagree that Carra's contributions have been of less significance.

well van Nistelrooy scored 46 goals in a season but lost out to Henry even though Henry scored less goals in EPL and UCL in season 2002-2003

I guess you misunderstood my point. Carra's contributions have been significant as usual. What I was saying was that Terry's is one of the most significant problem that has cause Chelsea their position for this season, they could've been better, but lack of leadership behind made them poorer than their usual self.

Ronaldo is obviously the winner of PFA Player of The Year. If one that win Player of The Year should give way to others in PFA Young Player of The Year, I hope Fabregas will win it. He carried Arsenal on his shoulder when Henry, RVP is injured.

If this doesnt happen, Ronaldo to win both.

Ronaldo Scoops Double Glory
http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=4...ps+double+glory
QUOTE
Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo has been named both PFA Player and Young Player of the Year.

The Portuguese winger was widely expected to take the main award and his remarkable season continued as he scooped both awards on Sunday evening at the Grosvenor House Hotel.

Ronaldo becomes only the second player in history to achieve the remarkable feat, the other being Sky Sports' own Andy Gray - who won both awards some 30 years ago in 1977.

Ronaldo held off competition from Chelsea's Didier Drogba in second and team-mate Paul Scholes - who came third - to take the main award. Steven Gerrard, Ryan Giggs, and Cesc Fabregas were also in the running.

Ronaldo succeeds Gerrard and is the first United player to take the Player of the Year prize since Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2000.

In contrast, it is the third year in succession that a United player has taken the Young Player of the Year award - with team-mate Wayne Rooney winning the honour in 2005 and 2006.

Rooney was up for the award again, but he was beaten by Ronaldo as he also held off competition from Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal), who came second, and Aaron Lennon (Tottenham Hotspur) in third.

Micah Richards (Manchester City) and Kevin Doyle (Reading) were also up for the award.


PFA Player Of The Year
1st: Ronaldo
2nd: Didier Drogba
3rd: Paul Scholes

PFA Young Player Of The Year
1st Ronaldo
2nd: Fabregas
3rd: Lennon

im a chelsea fan.

Though I voted C.Ronaldo for the award.

Why'd I lie about something that is witnessed by millions of others?

I'd love to see Drogba to grab it...but from a fair judgement,yeah...C.ronaldo deserves it.

p/s : forever Portugal fan,FYI lol

Glory Glory Man United. Really proud that Cristi won both the awards tonight. I was abit sceptical abt his chances to win both, but the professionals have voted rightly so !
I wont say that we totally depend on CR for the entire season, but none can deny his influence on the outcome of the match, and the beauty that he brings to the game.

Having sed that, kudos to the man united team, we have 8 players in the Team of the Year, and i guess that speaks volumes ! biggrin.gif

way to go from a Public enemy No.1 to being acknowledged by fellow player as the best player this season... Our show pony has grown into a stallion.

And how if Chelsea won the EPL? Even if MU became the champion, and Chelsea 2nd with only 2 or 3 points back, I think Chelsea players deserve more than 1 player compare to 8 by MU. It's like the whole EPL teams against Chelsea and thats not so professional if you take the emotion into account not the performance.

Then you'd have to ask why EPL footballers don't rate Chelsea personally.
