Aguero named to Ballon D'or shortlist

[mancity56]

disgrace how the best player in the league for 2011 david silva is not even shortlisted but nani is.. for me silva should be on it instead of aguero

 

[hidera2]

the list in a way looks like a joke. why not name it as Ballon D'Or of Barca.

 

[Smajko]

This list is a fucking joke and so is that awful dick Platini

Nani,Rooney and Suarez.... but no David Silva? You could not make it up.

Not being nasty or anything but how is Abidal on that list?

Is it based on the calendar year? If so, Silva being omitted is farcical.

It can't be. We're only in November.

I'd assume it's based on last season 2010-11, in which case you'd have to wonder how Joachim Loewe is nominated, unless they also include summer championships as "preseason", although Germany did play very well they didn't reach the final. Nani at least looks very good in the Opta stats - top points scorer in Fantasy Prem last season. Silva was hot & cold last season. Mancini won a cup and UCL qualification - so why Wenger is included I have no idea. Unless they run it from March 2010-March2011?

No Wayne Bridge?

Silva, we know you are the best in the world. So will the rest of the football world in the next couple of seasons.

One of the barcelona players or ronaldo will get it.

Silva should definitely be in the running though, he's been far better than quite a few of the names in that list.
