Anderson Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Forlan, Snjieder and Drogba would be my top 3. Snjieder to probably shade it for being a crucial part in Inters success and being the leading talisman in Hollands WC campaign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGupter Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Surely it has to be Xavi or Messi, no one really comes close, not sure why Sneijder is fav, then the manager is between Mourinho and Del Bosque, probably Mourinho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gggg Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 What have Ferguson and Wenger done? Even Redknapp and Holloway have achieved more never mind other countries. If it's for Qualifying for the Champions League with a Champions League team and getting whooped in it then Puel, Pellegrini and a host of others should be nominated aswell.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Messi and Mourinho for me. Messi was the best player at club level during the club season. obviously he was outshone by a lot of the German and Spanish boys during the World Cup, but regardless, he has been the most dominant player on this planet during 2010. Mourinho is manager of the year, easily. He's owned this year. Led his side to the Champions League trophy, beating the champions of the England, Germany, and Spain. Then he sensationally left for the biggest club in the world. Hell of a year for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 <<<< and Mourinho. Manager one is sewn up. Xavi, Messi, Sneijder and Iniesta would complete my top 5. Border line farcical how Diego Milito isn't involved and fucking Gyan is man. Can't get a game at poor Premiership team and missed the most important kick he'll ever have to make.

Colocho Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Also Lucio should probably be in there. Good point. Surely the best CB in the world this year? I would like to see Drogba win it, Messi has got plenty of time to win it over and over again. Van Marwijjk or Mourinho for manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
