PFA nominations are out

[bluemoon4ever]

in 44 years of the PFA award a City player has never won it, despite winning the league 3 out of the last 7 years. If you look back at some of the winners you have got to ask yourself ... WTF how the hell did he win ...

Norman Hunter, John Wark, Peter Reid, Gary Pallister and Paul McGrath to name but a few.

However, with a couple of exceptions the Majority have come from the team winning the league, so usual Bias against City rises its ugly head once again. You only have to look at Aguero's lack of nominations for Team of the year award (this years was just a 'oh we better give him one now' afterthought).

Who cares, seriously?

Salah isn't fit to wipe De Bruyne's arse. Player's 'Player' of the Year - Player being the operative word.

There's a reason why we have a Golden Boot Award.

Kev even voted for Salah, which tells you everything you need to know about our guy.

Hopefully he can embarrass his fellow professionals in these last four games by ripping teams to pieces and scoring a couple more like yesterday, helping us to break a benchmark that will NEVER be beaten.

Top that off with a World Cup win and leave them to it.

Very silly and over-the-top response. For many of us, Kev is a class above most other players in the league and richly deserved this award, but there's no need to throw around daft insults and exaggerations like that. Salah's had a blinder of a season and we'd all be ecstatic if he'd gone and scored 40 goals in sky blue. It's perfectly possible that he voted for Kev too, by the way. We can support and root for our own players while still respecting other professionals and their accomplishments, rather than descending into childish BS like that. Well done to Salah. I was frustrated to see Kev miss out on this award but he's got a far more important medal around his neck, so it's all good.

From that post it’s very obvious that you care.
Not exactly a reasoned, objective post.

Good post. Some of the comments on here are way over the top and its pretty sad Salahs performances can not being given the respect they deserve.

As a football fan as well as a City fan I have really enjoyed watching him this year and it will be interesting to see if he can match these achievements next year.

Fuck it anyway FWA is the benchmark, and I thinl Kev will win that one.

Congratulations to Salah, but it probably didn’t help De Bruyne’s cause that many of his vanquished opponents might have voted for Silva.

Kevin De Bruyne is a very brilliant player playing in a outstandingly brilliant team. As such, he doesn’t stand out as much as Salah. I actually think that Merlin has at least as good a shout as Kev for Player of the Year. The real travesty is that David Silva, who has been, year in year out, the best player to grace the PL, and the best player ever to play at City, will retire without being recognised by the POTY award. Kev will get other chances. Silva’s case pains me more, frankly. Not that he’ll care very much.

Simple question:
Who would you rather have in your team, Salah or KDB?

You need to ask ? not even close.

Exactly!
My point is surely that’s the criteria by which the best player should be judged by....
