The Big Question
Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Franck Ribery?

The Bigger Question
Purple Nose, Jupp Heynckes or Jurgen Klopp?

I think Tranny will finally win it this year

I'm taking requests. How many flans should i fling ?

well if it goes on the success it has to be Ribery as he picked up 5 trophies last year to Ronaldo's NONE

Agreed. It has to be him.

Messi to win it, they won't want the golden goose to stop laying eggs now would they?

That' seems to be the big debate with the award this year. Does team success play a part in deciding an award for individual performance.

David Moyes.

I don't think so. Yes, Ribery won trophies, but that was team success. It's like giving an Oscar for best actor to a film which won every other award, just because of that.

I think Ribery was pretty instrumental in that team success

And the Oscar example is how it typically works in the movie biz, so it's a poor argument.

Ribery driving a team to those heights vs Tranny being just the flat out amazing player he can be? Interesting to see how it pans out, but for me it's Ribery in a cake walk.

Ronaldo for me, and he deserves it. Fucking superb player.
