What the reporters say has a big influence on decisions like POTY.I know this award is the writers themselves but as been said by most people here,the decision to make bale the players players imo has been massively influenced by the garbage reporters came out with after that run of games where Bale was excellent ( was allowed to be excellent)There was so much hype at the time and so much that the influence from then carried him to PotY a month or more later.
All Spurs fans know Modric is the better of the two players at Spurs and that's without thinking of all sorts of other players at other clubs who should have been in front of Bale.
Parker for me is a similar case.WHU are an average to poor side and there have been matches where he has stood out and helped them get a point or more by his excellent efforts.Has he done enough consistently though? I don't see all the matches so all I have is a gut feel from the games I have seen and highlights and I would say no.Close maybe but not close enough as for him to have been that good he should perhaps have forced the odd extra point from games singlehandedly but also I feel he should have been a greater influence on some around him to aspire to better things.
Adam I personally wouldnt have in the top 6 ( maybe more).Some great quality in the desert that is Blackpool but he is one of those players who regularly looks for ther grandstand pass.When it comes off he gets OTT plaudits but when it doesn't he still gets plaudits for a great attaempt. What about when he gives the ball away stupidly in the middle of the park ( or even in the penalty area) which he has done constantly and he is slower than Barry isn't he?
Modric,Vidic,Kompany,Tevez,Nani,Nasri ( maybe a couple have gone off a little of late) and that's without thinking too hard.
