    Has to be Danny North. Even though he got injured halfway through the season, he still ended up with 15 goals and the second highest scorer in the League. Sligo wouldn't have won it without him.

    In the PL, Van Persie, although Swansea and Chelsea have both bought extremely well.

    Michu for me without any doubt given how much he cost and what he is worth to his team and if they decide to sell him.

    Can't see being mentioned in here but ?...or I could be wide of the mark.

    I assume this is a PL thread, but forgive me for branching out.

    Fraser Forster signing permanently for Celtic has been massive, figuratively and literally.

    Michu given what he cost and a mention for Oscar,while he has taken a few weeks to get a grasp of the EPL plus being eased in slowly he has enormus potential and i can see him becoming a top player over the next 2/3 seasons.

    Is the reason for no mentioning this mystery player possibly down to price?

    Is he managed by a guy who kinda screwed over another PL club and is hated by a poster on here whose username may or may not be a word used to describe the shape of DNA?

    That player would probably be my signing of the season too

    I actually haven't been that impressed by Hazard, for the money that he cost, I don't think hes been an absolute roaring success.

    Oscar on the other hand, I don't think a young Brazilian has ever been so good so quickly, hes been quality in every game I've seen of him and I've been surprised how tough he is for a small fella. So I'd pick him.

    I think Oscar and Hazard are great signings long term but instantly Van Persie has been magnificent. I aslo think Van Persie is hammering Rooneys legacy as a United great. Rooney was a sidekick to Ronaldo and had a few years to shine on his own, which he did very well. Now Van Persie has reduced Rooney back to the sidekick role. His best time at United will be inbetween the Ronaldo-Van Persie era's

    Michu for value for money. If you bought a reliable squad player for his price it would have been a worthy investment.
    RVP has made a massive impact for Utd. Could well be the winning of the league for them.

    Honourable mention to Pablo Hernandez, quality player and why a bigger club didn't nab him is beyond me.

    A quarter of the way into his first season, of which Rooney spent a good chunk of it injured. Bit premature for this kind of nonsense, no?

    I''m obviously right with Yacob btw, he was free and he's excellent, can't be bettered in terms of value.

    On the continent I think Reus deserves a mention, probably the standout player in the CL this season(even if it's at the expense of their domestic chances), filled that Shinji void straight away and the team are stronger for it now imo.
