drucurl said:I hate haters talking about this isn't worth it and that isn't worth it because the player they like gets an award or the player they don't like gets it etc....CR& deserved this and any other award he got for last season simply because he was on fire and his teams' successes were heavily reliant on his performances.
Michael Owen also deserved his award. He was simply on fire and it saddens me to see they way the Brits are going crazy over Rooney when really the talent Owen had was really unmatched. I doubt Rooney will ever win this award because he can never be as devastating as Owen was. Height and Strength aside....a fully fit Owen (provided that he still has his speed wich is doubtful) owns Rooney in every imagineable way
Owens finished. Injuries have taken there toll and he is now fairly slow, probably as fast as Tevez.
He is still an wesome finisher though and he has bulked up a lot recently to make up for his loss of pace.
Though Rooney, when on form, is better IMO. He can be the best English player since Gasgoine, aslong as his finishing improves.
I can't believe Gerrard got in that list. There were many better players IMO last year.
