It's that time of the year again, when the players cast their vote on which of their colleague's has been the outstanding performer (/young performer) of the season. The contenders are:

Player of the Year

1. David James (Portsmouth)
2. Francesc Fabregas (Arsenal)
3. Steven Gerrard (Liverpool)
4. Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)
5. Fernando Torres (Liverpool)
6. Emmanuel Adebayor (Arsenal)

Young Player of the Year

1. Micah Richards (Manchester City)
2. Francesc Fabregas (Arsenal)
3. Ashley Young (Aston Villa)
4. Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)
5. Gabriel Agbonlahor (Aston Villa)
6. Fernando Torres (Liverpool)

What do you make of the nominations? And who would get your vote for either accolade?

has to be ronaldo for both, although torres has done amazin in his first season it just wouldnt be right if ronaldo didnt win both.

micah richards?

from memory he played about 3 good games all season....

ronaldo will probably win both but it would be good if Torres won something if only just to mix it up a bit

greasy ronaldo is bound to get them both. dont get why micah richards is there...

Ronaldo will win both and well deserved, but would be nice to see someone else win young player.

Torres in the young players He's liek, 24 is he not?

What are you trying to say, is over 24 old?

i thought he was a 12 year old girl

LOL

as for me.. adebayor shouldn't have been in the nomination list.. urgh..

okay.. trying to be cool now.. lol..

player of the year.. ronaldo.. for sure..

young player of the year.. torres.. for certain..

ronaldo for being bloody awesome this season.. and torres for being bloody gorgeous.. i mean.. successful.. for his first season.. haha..

Id like Torres to win it but no doubt the greasy ponce ronaldo will win it

Maybe Torres for the young player award, after all, its his first season over here and has done great! but hey, why would that be took into consideration?

any other season torres would have won one but its hard to look past ronaldo after what hes done this season

Yeah. Torres for both player of the year and young player of the year

Ronaldo is the only answer. Even people with their silly biases should be able to see that.

The spotty ponce is a shoe in to win the main award. It's just a shame that somebody who's had such an impact in his first season in a new country/league will most probably get no recognition other than being nominated.

I still love you though Nando

I'm sticking with my boy nando, it isn't just about goals. Torres has meant so much to us we have actually built a side around him in his first Season. No other foreign player has EVER had a bigger impact in his first Season than Torres has at Liverpool.

If you're a forward what is it about other than goals? Cause Torres isn't that high on assists either and sure you may have built a team round him but Liverpool still came forth. Ronaldo has scored more (from midfield no less), created more and Man Utd are top. It's a no contest. Torres has had a brilliant season and deserves second place with Febregas third, but Ronaldo has just been better in every single department. It's a no contest.

Ronaldo for both awards

what about van nistelrooy?

It would be kind of funny if the Young Player of the Year was older than the Player of the Year...

Is it just me or are those nominations a bit generous to certain individuals? I don't think Fabregas, Gerrard, Adebayor, Richards, Young or Agbonlahor have done enough to get on either list. Off the top of my head i'd have Mascherano, Flamini and Ferdinand in the senior award ahead of the aforementioned trio.

Agree with you there Ben.

Those three definitely should be on the list. Bias to the attacking players per usual though!

tbh i think its going to be ronaldo for both

Torres for me but that git Ronaldo will probally win it.

Ronaldo has had the best season a player has had in a long time no way Torres should win. Torres has had an excellent season granted but Ronaldo has had an absolutely brilliant season.
