he's been pretty good, but not the most deserving of the award who else would have been eligible? aguero?
yeah aguero was a finalist and should have won easily, so was oxdale-chamberlain who im pretty sure played less than 300 minutes this year. some real geniuses deciding on these things
Dempsey should be on there instead of Yaya... agree with basically everything else (except for Walker over Aguero)
I know Ched Evans was recently convicted, who was the other? Evans was always a must buy for me when I played with lower level Football Manager clubs.
From Wiki... In June 2005, while in Rotterdam with the Dutch national team for the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, Van Persie was arrested on suspicion of rape by Dutch police. Sandra Krijgsman, a former Miss Nigeria Holland winner, claimed she was attacked by Van Persie in a hotel. He was held for fourteen nights in prison while the police investigated the allegations made against him but was then released without charge, though he was still under suspicion. In February 2006, the case against Van Persie was dismissed by the Dutch Public Prosecution Service after they completed their investigations stating that no sexual contact with coercion happened, with Van Persie's accuser later admitting she had made up the story to gain publicity. Van Persie spoke of his ordeal several months later, saying how degrading the experience was and how he was treated like a criminal despite his innocence. He revealed that conditions in the prison were so hot that they caused him to lose consciousness. It also emerged that over 200 Rotterdam police officers had attempted to view his case files, with the vast majority of them unauthorised to do so.
Valencia got mightily screwed as well. Would put RVP, Valencia, and Dempsey as the top 3 players this year.
