Walker, A Oxlade-Chamberlain, D. Sturridge, D. Welbeck Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Sergio Aguero have all been nominated by their fellow professionals for the PFA Player of the Year award. Manchester City striker Aguero has been nominated for both the player of the year and the young player award, to cap an excellent debut season in the Barclays Premier League. The Argentina international arrived at the Etihad Stadium from Spanish club Atletico Madrid last summer, and has netted 21 goals as City have made an assault on the Premier League title. Aguero's City team-mates, goalkeeper Joe Hart and Spanish playmaker David Silva have also been nominated. However, the favourite for the award will unquestionably be the prolific Arsenal striker Robin van Persie, the Gunners skipper having netted 27 goals, whilst also popping up with 12 assists for his team-mates. Manchester United's 24-goal forward Wayne Rooney, who has been at the forefront of their excellent league performances this season, which have them five points clear at the top of the table, is also in with a shout, whilst Tottenham's combative midfielder Scott Parker rounds off the shortlist. The young player's list consists of Aguero and five of the brightest young British talents currently plying their trade in the top-flight, four of whom will be optimistic of taking their place at this summer's European Championships with England. Tottenham's Welsh flyer Gareth Bale, winner of the player of the year award last season, finds himself on the junior list, alongside his fellow Spurs speedster Kyle Walker, Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge, Manchester United's Danny Welbeck and the highly-rated Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. http://www.newsnow.co.uk/A/562347990?-1808
Young player of the year HAS to be Aguero, really is no contest IMO. Bale is the only one of the others who even comes close. Chamberlain really is a bizarre nomination, he's barely featured. Player of the year is between RVP and Silva for me. I'd like Silva to win it, he really is a class act, but he's had a bit of a poor run from February to March whereas RVP has been scoring goals for fun all season. Scott Parker should not be in contention for it. He is incredibly overrated and players like Dempsey, Yaya, Valencia....are much more worthy of being up for the award. Have to feel the fact he's English is a big factor for him being nominated. So I'll guess: Young player of the year: Aguero Player of the year: RVP The favourites really, but those two probably should win it.
Walker got it and rightly so...up until the votes were made Walker was on fire. It is not only about who scores goals and traditionally this award is for an improved unknown quantity....a 24 year old Argentinian international who cost 35 million does not fit into that...well done Kyle Walker. Aguero is class by the way
