Pfa awards are a joke....

Now im aware that united can't have all the nominees, but im fed up of rooney being the only player acknowleged.......What has parker done that carrick hasnt? what has aguero done that valencia or bale hasnt?( more goals but when the pressure set in it was valencia who performed where aguero flopped) how can a goalkeeper get in ahead of evans or kompany...typical britain trying to be fair to all rather than who desrves it

Anyone who thinks aguero shouldnt be there should go wobble their heads.

First season in a foreign league and look at the impact he's made.

Sessegnon has been great for the mackems this year. Outside chance Id have thought.

I think my 6 nominees would be: RVP, Silva, Aguero, Rooney, Bale, Ferdinand. Parker just doesn't do it for me and, while Hart has had a great season, I think others contribute more to their team's overall performance.

I don't think any Utd player really deserves to be nominated tbh other than Valencia and Roo.

Carrick and Parker have both had good seasons but neither has been spectacular. I don't understand the comments about Hart as I think he has had a great season.

For me it's RVP for POTY and Aguero for young POTY.

Rooney would still have been nominated even if he'd spent the last 12 months in a Chinese prison.

You guys realise the PFA awards are nominated in January right?

And it is the players themselves who vote, so 'media darlings' or not, the player who wins is the one who the footballers believe is the best.

A panel picks the shortlist... and the players vote on that.

Didn't realise that, in this case, the whole award is a sham.

It was last year.

Any awards voted for and handed out before the season is even complete are of course going to be nonsensical.

Are you sure about that? On Sky Sports they said that the nominations are based on player votes but they could have been wrong I guess.
