Player of the Year

[honourablegeorge]

Three nominations for our lads. Brilliant.

 

Gerrard, Hazard, Lallana, Sturridge, Suarez, Toure

 

And two in the Young player

 

Barkley, Hazard, Ramsey, Shaw, Sterling, Sturridge

Brilliant.

 

No-one can argue with any of our lads being in there.

[DJS]

Unusually for these awards, the nominees actually all seem to be warranted.

Or, to put it another way, there's nobody from United.

[RP]

Only one that might be questionable is Ramsey - started the season on fire but hasn't been consistent throughout (injuries notwithstanding).

 

But they're both string lists.

 

Or, to put it another way, there's nobody from United.

 

 

I wonder how many years since that was the case

[matty]

Yeah Ramsay was excellent first three months but has barely played since Xmas hasn't he?

 

Can see Hazard getting young player as sort of compensation for not getting the big one. But it should be Sturridge, with Luis getting POTY.

Last minute amendment, Lallana removed, Giggs added.

[Swan Red]

Think being on the POTY list should exclude you from the young player. Like I get it's a vote and whatever can happen but it's a bit silly young player is won by a fella not on the player list.

 

Take Sturridge and Hazard off the young player add a Henderson and another.

[Cobs]

Januzai cruelly overlooked

[Sion]

Stupid how Sturridge is nearly 25 and still classed as a young player

[heighway]

Someone linked a pic here a week or two ago showing one player's voting slip in which he had picked Suarez. So if the players have already cast their votes doesn't that mean the PFA already know the winners?

f*** yes, Henderson deserves it above a few others there, I'd say

[Swan Red]

He's been a mainstay of the team top of the league

Yeah

[Dan]

Tremendous effort. Reckon Skrtel might get in team of the year as well.

That should be "but has barely played, has he?"

What`s the limit? 24?

 

I'd have Henderson in there as well.

[Logic]

Ridiculous to have players that are 23 & 24 (25 this year) on the Young Player of the Year list.

[Stevie H]

world cup year. john terry will get shoehorned in there somehow.

think it's under 24 when the season starts isn't it?

 

as oli kay just pointed out, it's stupid - milner won young player of the year in his eighth season.

He'll be there to pick up the award no matter what, the full kit w*nker.

exactly

 

ramsey and hazard too

 

it should be an under 21 player of the year award

 

hazard has been around for years so have ramsey and sturridge.

 

a bit unfair on sterling shaw and barkley, up against 3 experienced players. ffs hazard must have about 50 caps for belgium

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Danny Welbeck horribly overlooked

[drdooom]

Stupid how Sturridge is nearly 25 and still classed as a young player

 

And Sterling has kids older than Sturridge ffs.

it's a question tag. Which is always the negative form.

 

"I'm a genius, aren't i?"

"He's got a daft face, hasn't he?"

"Barely" is a negative adverb, so the question tag needs to be positive.
