    Despite his disappointment at not being on the list Paul Pogba will hold his own awards ceremony in Manchester, they are to be called the Salon D'or in honour of his haircut.

    Would have liked to have seen Alexis Sanchez on that list.

    We all know that it will go to either Messi, or the prancing ponce from Real.

    It should go to Suarez...**** that he is!,..

    Agreed, he should have already won it already to be fair.

    If there's a better striker anywhere in the world, I'd love to know where he is!...

    Even though I have read and do understand I just want to point out that Suarez should win it this year not CR7.

    You sound absolutely furious that a United player has been nominated mate !

    The whole Liverpool squad should be on the list. The way they narrowly pipped stoke to 8th place last year was nothing short of heroic

    Nah, its more a case of me not mentioning a man yoo player being on the list that's makes you livid, unless of course Pogba is on the list for his achievements at OT.

    But we both know he's not HIAG so just change your tampon and take an aspirin girl.

    It would be great if someone from Southampton won. Then I could look forwards to us signing a Balon D'or winner next summer. <ok>

    Yeah mate, this is exactly how a balon d'or winner thinks

    "So I've been selected by my peers as being the pinnacle of my sport and of my profession, where can I go now that means I won't be playing any sort of European football whatsoever"

    There's only one player on that list that played for Southampton and we signed him, I'm afraid.

    Like we have done to Liverpool many a time, we mugged Spurs over the deal you allude to. Good luck finding a counter argument to that, PNP

    £5m with add-ons rising to £10m, which we then bought for £2m, as Southampton were broke.
    Sold on for a world record fee of £85m six years later, making roughly £78m in profit.

    If you're going to pretend to be a Southampton fan, then at least do it passably! <laugh>

    I think you are ignoring one key thing here, my friend, and that is inflation.

    Now, I'm hardly chief Economist at the world bank but surely you can see that the 7 million we got for Bale in 2007 far eclipses the pittance Real mugged you for him 7 years later, when you account for that key variable, which is of course inflation.

    You're simply not talking sense PNP !
