Player Valuation: £750k
When Giggs won it there wasn't a standout performer when the votes were being cast - apart from Vidic, who was immense.
Ronaldo was the best player that season and should have won it.

I meant that he didn't deserve the award when he won it, it was a token gesture but he wasn't the best player in the league that season.
The award should go to the best player otherwise it's a farce and means nothing.
The "best player" is pretty much subjective, is it not?
Personally I think Yaya Toure or Silva were the two best players in the league last season.
And if one of those boys had won it, the award could not have been described as meaning nothing as either would have been worthy recipients.

Knobbys come out to have his say....

"It is my belief that when you bring a player to a football club, he becomes your responsibility."
Well said, so take the punishment on the chin and sod off.
Ronaldo didnt have the best of seasons by the standards he had set the year before and was outscored by Anelka.
Of course it is, his past behaviour (he actually wasn't that bad last season) should not affect his best status as best player. If you think that Silva and Toure were better then fair enough. I disagree with you but you're entitled to your opinion.
I know I am.
That is why I say one cannot describe the award as bing a "farce and meaning nothing" if it goes to a player one doesn't think was the best player.
His all round game was awesome that season, I remember it well. He commanded an £80m bid from Real afterwards.
He commanded £80m from Real the year before. There was a lot of frustration with Ronaldo that year from United fans because the general feeling was he wasn't playing to the same standards as the two years previous.
Not how I remember it, he was excellent. He was in the premier league team of the year and was a major reason why they won the league.
