Steven Gerrard is the only non-Manchester United player to be shortlisted for this season’s PFA Player of the Year.

 

Nemanja Vidic is the man who has been most widely tipped for the gong for much of the campaign but the Serbia defender now faces competition from four of his team-mates.

 

Central defensive partner Rio Ferdinand and keeper Edwin van der Sar, both of whom were integral to United’s 11 league games without conceding a goal, are also included.

 

The evergreen Ryan Giggs, who has drawn lofty praise for his displays in the centre of midfield, is joined by last season’s winner Cristiano Ronaldo, who remains joint-top scorer in The Premier League despite not hitting the same heights as last campaign.

 

United also contribute two of the nominees for this season’s Young Player of the Year award in Jonny Evans, an able deputy to both Ferdinand and Vidic, and young Brazilian full back Rafael.

 

Aston Villa’s English duo of Ashley Young and Gabriel Agbonlahor are joined by Manchester City’s Stephen Ireland and Tottenham’s Aaron Lennon in the running for the gong won by last year.

Kinell, that's disgraceful

[Cunny]

fecking ridiculous if not entirely surprising

 

Vidic and Ferndinand, fair enough

Van Der Sar is not even in the top 6 keepers never mind any player

Giggs has a had a decent season but smacks of he deserves a nomination before he retires

As for Ronaldo, Jesus wept.

[CarraLegend]

You have to take your hat off to Ryan Giggs PR company, he's started 11 league games and got 1 goal and had about 2 good games with both happened to be live on sky, it's ridiculous. He genuinely shouldnt be in a top 100 let alone top 6! How on earth can it be said he's had a better season than Lampard or Alonso?

[Andy @ Allerton]

What would make it even funnier would be if we could somehow win the league.

[CarraLegend]

VDS is a joke aswell, Reina has been lightyears ahead of him but is always overlook, it seems keeping all these clean sheets suddenly matters yet when Reina does it it doesnt.

 

And Rafael in the young player?! Yeah what a wonderful season with his 9 league starts.

[quibs]

Thats just ridiculous...

[carrafan]

Rafael? Wow. Insua has done more in his season here.

[floyd]

Surprised fvckin Jimmy Greenhoff hasn't been nominated

[Jim D]

Just goes to show Footballers aren't exactly the brightest bunch...

[CarraLegend]

Disgraceful that Wes Brown has been left out, he's had a wonderful season.

[Case]

It's the PFA though isn't it? Chosen by every player who presumably fills in a form? How much does anyone like filling in forms?

 

Giggs will probably still be nominated in 5 years time by some of these thickos....

[Case]

How Ralph Milne hasn't made the shortlist, Goodness knows....

[Swipe]

That's f***ing priceless!!

 

Reina's had about 3 seasons of barely condeding, yet when VDS does if for 3 months her gets a Player of the Year nod!!

[Romario]

Disgraceful that Wes Brown has been left out, he's had a wonderful season.

I agree. He should be nominated because he's... errr... Orange! Yep that'll do.

 

The Giggs one is daft as well. Unless he played like Maradona in those 11 games, which he didn't.

[ManxRed]

Whither John O Shea?

[Sion]

haha it's disgusting but hardly surprising

VDS has been his usual flappy self. Averaged about 1 save every 2 games during 'his' record

Giggs had 2 decent games, but then again he's old, so you must have to times them by 10

Ferdinand has been very poor, as has Evans whenever i've watched him.

Less said about Rafael inclusion the better

Ronaldo to some extent and Vidic are the only ones who belong there

The deadline for the voting is the end of January which is just ridiculous.

can players vote for people from their own team?

if not the 30 odd mancs will have to vote for Gerrard

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Ryan Giggs has undoubtedly played so much marvellous football this season that people should not even dare mention the name Xabi Alonso.

[carrafan]

I'm actually surprised Rooney isnt there in the list. He's been very important to the Mancs.]

If thats the case, we should have seen more Liverpool players in there. We were top till the new year. Gerrard will win it though.

[Redkop]

I just had to check it wasn't written on April Fools day.!

The votes are already in, that 6 are the 6 with the most votes.

We collapsed in December and January. Vidic and Giggs were getting hyped to f*** around then too. It'll be one of them. Probably with VDS rounding off the top 3.

[Hassony]

you'd think with text votings, internet, emails..etc that they can do the voting in April, I just don't understand why its so early

 

disgraceful that Xabi isn't there

[Jim D]

Think it also goes to show that even footballers are easily taken in by media hype, Sky etc. They hyped up the Mancs defence when they went on that clean sheet run it seems this has influenced a lot of the votes considering you've got Van de Sar, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evans and Rafael in there. Not looking so pretty now is it?

 

Not sure what Ronaldo has done this season to warrant inclusion and Giggs? Come on give me a break, was it honestly that goal against West Ham at Upton Park that has warrant him his inclusion?? He's barely played all season, making the odd appearance here and there off the subs bench.

 

I'd say the only two who are worthy of recognition are Vidic and Gerrard.
