    He's actually played quite a number of games for Utd this season. Think its either 25 or 26 games?

    class player, easily deserves to be there based on form and quality. there have been very few CBs who have done well this season if you think about it.

    joke of the century has got to be danny welbeck on the shortlist for PFA player of the year. a man u striker with 2 premier league goals this year, it really does beggar belief that...<laugh>

    He plays for man u. He has to be in there.

    Out of curiosity what is the upper age for young player of the year. Bale winning at 23 seems a little bit rich for young player. Surely it should be under 21. Perhaps Freidel can win it next year at 41.

    Talk Sport pundits were discussing this the other day. The consensus was that 23 is too old in this day and age and they favoured lowering the age limit to 21. I agree.

    yes agree 23 is to old now.....its ridiculous that a player can win the both anyway.....If he wins the main one then surely they can pick someone else for the YP of the season.....There is a number of young players including our own Ben Davies who should have been up there with the rest with a chance....

    Years ago there used to be under 23 international sides so could see it then. But with international tournaments at u21's and now the new u21 league. surely that should be the limit. Some players have 30 or 40 international caps by the time they are 23. actually bale has 41 international caps already
