Henry never won this award, Isnt it? Actually Premier league always gets overlooked for these awards. Spanish and Italian league players wins it most times than not. Even when Henry was at his peak he didnt win, so that says something about these awards.

Stop with all the random **** bad mouthing the adwards. EPL players arent winning these adwards because there are generally better players then them. Not hard to figure out.

that was some i never understood, how a player like him never won it.

2002-03 and 2003-04 he was the best player. Random ****? When you dont know something its better to shut. I'm just posting when players have not won who deserved to.

Can you justify Milito's exclusion plz and also Totti's when he scored 30 odd goals
 
Besides, you mentioned that the Dutch League is in the TOP 5 of the world. Dont forget the leagues outside Europe. I could agree that the Dutch League is in the TOP 10 maybe. Not Top 5.

There is plenty of players who could of been involved who arent. They cant include them all, Your just clearly upset over something. Hence you keep saying these adwards mean nothing, but keep posting about players who should be on the list. There will always be cases of players who could of been included, but they can only pick 23 players.
 
And also Scott to prove it,

Ronaldo scored 23 goals and assists where as Messi scored 17 goals but still Messi was 2nd in world player of the year and Ronaldo was 3rd.

Ronaldo guided Manutd for first league title in 4 years, semi finals in champions league and FA cup finals. Messi did **** all still was ahead of Ronaldo.

Voting is done based on reputation and for players whom they like.

I'm not upset over anything as i feel these awards are joke,

Its not about including every random player, Incluing best players who played well and won them all.

Milito scored was the key player for Inter;s success, but he got overlooked for Eto'o and Gyan. Huh.

I keep posting about players who should have won and should have been on the list as i feel the list is nothing but bull **** and there will be bias against few players and leagues.

Players i have proved it in my last post with Ronaldo and Messi.
 
Give it a rest Scott, he was clearly just expressing his opinion, no need to jump on his back.
 
Asamoah Gyan (Ghana), FIFA must be ******* joking.

Voted Messi for obvious reasons, however in hindsight I may have voted Sneijder.

To be fair mate, Messi is a better player than Ronaldo, watch Barca on a regular basis and you see just how good he is.
 
Irrelevant, 3 years ago when he's mentioning, Ronaldo was the best player in the world. Hence his £80 million pound move to Real.

Your Point being, if we did it straight on goals, no defender would ever be up for nominations.

gyan had a great world cup tbf for a poo side. Eto had a great year, so Huh. Eto you know has started this season well.

Give it a rest Scott, he was clearly just expressing his opinion, no need to jump on his back.

he expressed it in 4 different posts. thats just looking for someone to comment,

And messi could of demanded how much at that point.....?

So messi isnt as good because he stayed at barca?

Not what I said at all, simply that he was the best player in the world at that point without a doubt in my opinion, hence becoming the most expensive player at all time by about £30 million.

But Messi could of gone for that if Barca decided to sell. so that argument therefore has no basis or creditability.
 
It's not an argument though, that's why your wrong, I'm not saying because he went for £80 million pounds he is the best player in the world. I am saying that he was the best player in the world, and therefore got this move. I think if you said to Real at the time would you rather Ronaldo for £80 mill or Messi they would have took Ronaldo everytime.

That where your wrong. Messi over ronaldo everytime in la liga for real i would say. What you dont seem to get is Messi could of got that move if he really wanted to. He could of gone for closer to 100 then 80.

Because everyone knew he was going to be the best player in the world! Not because he was at the time. We can have this argument all day long, but as a United fan I thought you would have appreciated quite how good he was for you that season.
 
Scott i think you have very short term mwmory. Ronaldo in 2006-07 was miles ahead of Messi. I;m not talking about today, 2006-07 Ronaldo was the best. Anyways seeing your posts i dont think you even remember that season.

And no i was not talking about goals. I was talking about how influential was that player for his team to win something. That is not even for debate.
