PFA Awards (Team and Player of the Year Awards Announced)

PHB · 28-04-2008 02:28PM

No it doesn't. I'd pick Fabregas ahead of Torres this season.
Also the reason Fabregas got it was because he's actually a young player. Ronaldo is young than Torres. It's not a 2nd place award, and that's not why people voted for Ronaldo in the big thing even though they voted for Fabregas in the young award. It's cause Fabregas is actually a young player.

Torres was good before Feburary, amazing afterwards. Fabregas was amazing before Feburary, good afterwards. Why does performing at the end mean anything more than performing at the start?

Also, even if you were not to put in Ferdinand or Vidic, how you'd pick Larsson ahead of Carvalho or Toure is beyond me.

Fabregas beating Torres to Young Player of the Year shows the pointlessness of these awards unless they are voted for in May instead of January.

True.

I think the team is pretty bang on. I also think the choice of Ronaldo and Fab are exactly as it should have been. People can make all sorts of excuses about the team (Gerrard not being a mid-fielder is one of the more laughable one's) but I think all in all, the selections have been bang on.

I also agree that Sagna should have been (and probably was) an automatic choice in the defence, as was Rio. Pity that his behaviour off the pitch, where he was alleged to hit a female steward at the weekend, was part of the headlines, and not the fact that he got his justified plaudits.

I know what you mean about Febregas being a young player in terms of Torres cos i don't think Torres or Ronaldo should have been up for that award. But the fact thay they were, i don't see how Fabregas could win over either of them cos both Ronaldo and Torres have been consistently brilliant for the whole season, they haven't dipped in form at all

Goals does not equal players playing well. I dont think Fabregas's form has been that bad over the last few months. Just he hasnt been scoring as much.

Mr Alan · 28-04-2008 03:05PM

Can someone please clarify for me when Torres went through a dip in his form? i must've missed it.

I was going to say that special mention should be given to this being Torres's first Prem season, but the phone rang, I got side-tracked and hit post.

I agree. He wasnt as good as Ronaldo.

After that, he's been better than everyone else in my opinion.

And all in his first season.

Xavi6 · 28-04-2008 04:15PM

Any mention of Bentley yet? He's had a cracking season

1st Ronaldo
2nd Adebayor
3rd Torres

That would be my top 3.

You have alrady said you would not kill me - so i'll take my killer instinct advantage.

Well done Keith Andrews on making the League 2 side.
Super player and would be a regular Irish squad member at this stage only he has been crippled with injuries throughout career.

At least your smiling Mr. Alan, you think Torres can hang on to 3rd place in the top scoring charts or will Santa Cruz catch him?, making Torres 4th

Mr Alan · 29-04-2008 03:11PM

oh boggles, you should probably close that trap of yours for a couple of weeks in case "the best team in the history of soccerball" end up without a trophy. in which case, after the ****e you've spouted on this site, I may be forced to open my own little "Boggles Quotes" thread.

Oh dear, I seem to have hit a nerve, pee'd you off a bit.

Not as pee'd off I'd suggest as the Americans at the Liverpool AGM when they discover that the combined value of the 3 players who out scored Torres this season cost 10 million less than him.

Candidate for player of the year or expensive flop? There is an arguement for both.

Mr Alan · 29-04-2008 03:27PM

Once again Boggles, you are embarrasing yourself.

Mitch Connor · 29-04-2008 03:28PM

expensive flop? dear god....

_blank_ · 29-04-2008 03:29PM

Torres. A flop?

Laughable.

Sometimes the truth can be embarrasing, nothing I have said that is not factual. Especially when you factor in that Torres has been struggling to keep up with Kuyt in Europe aswell, well i guess the truth is embarrasing.
