And as of the 2010-11 season, UEFA renamed and started awarding it as the Uefa best player of the year (which means only 1 player will be awarded rather than the normal one which both gk's, midfielders, defenders and forwards are all awarded), and messi won the uefa best player of the 2010-11 season.

Rooney was not the best forward in europe that season, he was just the tournament best (real) striker (not false 9 like messi) in the uefa champions league, the stop awarding uefa best forwards, defender, midfielders, nd goal keepers after the 2009-10 season. Ronaldo won the eufa best forward of the year in 2007-08, but in the team of the year he was placed as a winger, messi won the best forward of the year in 2008-09, but in the team of the year, he was placed as a winger, milito won the best forward of the year in 2009-10, and was also placed in the team of the year as a centre forward.. So rooney being included in the team of the year as a centre forward, doesn't mean he was the best forward of the 2011 season.

coogar:
dybala is more complete!

okay o dyabala vs depay.. Next season go tell sha

coogar:
dybala is just 21!
he already possesses the football grain of aguero, suarez & messi put together. the weight of his passes & the vision alone is worth more than £40m.

lamela is crap!
immobile is decent.
giovinco is above average.
none of them has the guile of dybala....this is the most exciting youngster i have seen since messi in 2005.

memphis

SailorXY:
na lie jor... make LvG sign am ASAP

when we sign veron, pogba no reach am.. And wetin even de give u hope say man.united go sign pogba? Me no fancy de guy sef

Kaka, giovinco, veron, cavani, lavezzi, pastore, balotelli (4rm A.c to liverpool lol), immobile, zarate and lamela, though pple like zidane, zola nd di canio wey hits.. I still got a feeling dat paul pogba will fl0p if he leaves italy,.

cheiiii.......this dybala na talent.
pace, verve, guile, panache, agility, ridiculous dribbling skills, shots. he's an all rounder. this is the kinda players we should be breaking the bank to get.

chọi.. Make we do juv wetin chelshit do spurs for willian deal na

coogar:
we can do better than benzema....
please, drop the idea. sweet jesus, he would be 28 this year. not another OAP that would stop performing in another 1-2 seasons.

let's find a younger talent.

now you are talking, but he can be our new van persie(1 season wonder, nd delivers the title on a plate)., de problem is his transfer fee, its too high, you should not also forget that we do have a winger who has eyes for goal, and is less concerned about providing assist for teammates and that is memphis depay, so a young striker with all around play will get the best out of depay and de team too, cuz we'll set up in de traditional 4 3 3 next season jxt lyk madrid bayern nd barca, we need a player similar to the wayne rooney of 2005-09.. And i've not yet seen someone like that, though i've not watched lacazette nd dyabala maybe dey do posses such qualities, someone should give use clue about this guys

coogar:
with zidane firmly behind him, he will not go anywhere. that centre forward position has been their blindspot for years. is it so much for madrid to have acquired any of falcao, aguero, suarez, etc in the last 2-3 seasons?

would you put benzema in your top 10 strikers in europe in the last 6 seasons? seriously - would you?

so na zidane go stop madrid from getting a prolific striker abi?, falcao, aguero, suarez would still stay below Ronaldo in the goal scoring charts, they are clinical in front of goal than benzema but their overall play are not better than his, benzema's rate of 1.8 key passes per game, how many pure forwards can match that? In the last 3years, he's simply de BEST. And if he cums to united he'll score 30+ league goals

coogar:
has benzema ever won the pichichi?
how can you rate a striker that has never scored 22 league goals in one season in spain? this is the same madrid side that scored more than 100+ league goals when jose was there. abeg, benzema is useless. with the quality in the team he plays for, he should be averaging 30 league goals per season.

i would've loved to continue dis arguement, but ur post signifies only one thing "YOU DISLIKE HIM" when ronaldo became united hitman how many of our strikers scored 20+ goals in the epl? Tevez rooney berbetov saha and alan smith? Which one? When david villa came to dat great barca team how many league goals him score? Ibrahimovic nkor? Dat 11/12 season de centre forward position was shared between hiquain and benzema, both of them scoring 22 and 21 goals respectively with benzema leading hiquain with 6assist to hiquain's 5. Hiquain was sold and he remained, morata too was sold and he still remained, u think say madrid and dia supporters blind? Just say you hate his style of play, not that he's a useless player.

In the last 2 UCL seasons he's the most productive(goals+assist) player (behind ronaldo and messi), in the last 3 la liga seasons he's the 3rd best goal provider (behind messi and koke), he has scored all the current la liga teams (only messi nd ronaldo hav done dat) he has scored 20+ goals in 5 consecutive seasons and he's not even the team's point man. Coogar nd co... Abeg make una bring me stats wey make Karim mostafa Benzema "USELESS"

Ehi69:
Chelsea had the special one.

Who do we have? Mr philosophy.....

sorry to say dis, U Be EKPA! Who made ur special one?

i'll love to see benzema sparehead our attack next season

slimghost shey torres na worldclass when chelsea sign am? Wetin cum happen? Just as lacazette de now, na so benzema de 4 lyon b4 madrid sign am, na 4 madrid him take develop to top class, falcao too na world class o, but him fail wen we give am d chance

benzema, hiquain, bacca, rues, dat wolfburg striker and jackson martinez are all tested and nd tried and tried and tested or trusted

Rooney is just 29 yet he plays like someone at the age of 36, ronaldo and robben are 30+ and yet they play like 24yr olds, robin van p at the age of 28-29 delivered de bpl title on a plate and won back to back golden boot, with young bloods like suarez and arguero in thesame league with him, even drogba at the age of 30 to 33 spareheaded chelsea attack very well (even though the white men accuses black men of age cheating) that's how you tell a player is pure world class, andre pirlo is 35 xavi is 34 yet when the play, you'll know that these are real world class players, look at paul scholes and ryan giggs when the were at thesame age rooney is now, they were hitting their peak.. Van nistelrooy at the age of 30 won the la liga golden boot on his debut season, look at teddy sheringham, raul and co.. Fact is.. Rooney don kpai already, just as we say here in warri, "rooney na dirty" make dem just pack am go troway 4 dusbin(blackpool)

coogar:
so no la liga import has won the golden boot here out of the plenty of them that have come to england? does that not tell you what the competition is over here? they always complain about how tough it is, the intensity, the pace and the worst of it all, no christmas break to spend with friends & family.

costa only huffed & puffed, aguero would beat him to it in the end. torres also huffed & puffed in his debut season & ronaldo got to the finish line before him. you need years to acclimatize here before you can claim that prize.

ruud had peaked & his performance was dwindling. he had become 2nd fiddle to thierry henry & henry kept beating him to the golden boot. united weren't going anywhere too; we stopped winning the big prizes. the moment ruud left, united won the league after 4 years of league title barrenness.

okay i don hear. But to me i still see it as de better league; by de way i hope say de intensity nd pace nd christmas holiday na wetin make di maria no play well dis season.. Atleast dis season don show am say e different and him go adapt next season

By de way happy sunday pals

Beckham cum madrid to cum sell shirt, na glamour boy na, just dat him last season 4 man-united b4 him go madrid na hit him be,, just be say SAF get eye to see wen player go decline

coogar:
nistelrooy was finished when he left for la liga. he was 30 years of age. he won the pichichi instantly in la liga. no excuses of acclimatization. mention one la liga import that has won the EPL golden boot in his first season in england.

just like i said, he was a worldclass centre forward ( and bro na u finish am?) and wen he arrived in madrid he was one of dia 1st choice striker and formed a great parnership with raul, abi u no see him first season in a united shirt (eredivise striker o) na hit him be o. and back den we no get a CURRENT ronaldo and messi type of player, though i can't remember any la liga dat won a golden in de EPL on his debut season but most of dem are all instant hits michu arguero sanchez and costa are all examples

Mind u nistelrooy was a world class centre forward and he left at de peak of his career forlan din't settle well in de EPL, KANOUTE WAS A BRILLIANT forward too in de epl just dat spurs no too strong dat time and berbatov was better dan him wen he arrived, rossi no get chance to play so no jugde am

If english teams hate europa wetin make dem de qualify 4rm group stage, why dem no just crash out 4rm group stage so dat dem go focus well to finish high 4 dia precious league.. RUBBiSH!!! How many english teams make am to UCL last 8? Una current league champions were knocked out by french league champions and de frnch league champions den got raped by la liga champions, arsenal own na different case, man city nkor?? Dat means if madrid and barca cum to epl wit dis dia current squard dem go share de epl within demselves 4 de next 10 years because EPL defenders NIGHTMAREs (suarez and bale) are cumin back not to talk of ronaldo and messi de level 6 forwards as described by coogar.. Mehn 4get de media hyping mourinho with him full squard go trophyless 4 madrid him even loose cup final 4 him own team ground, how many teams beat mourinho 4 home 4 EPL dis season? Though our tikt taka never too bad see how we de dominate teams not to talk of barca wey don blend already, wen we don sign more players and sum of our players cum peak dia best form we go just de murder teams 4 england as bayern de do 4 germany

La liga isn't an easy league, to me its stronger dan de EPL, Ronaldo and messi de make de league look easy; just remove both of dem 4rm dat league you go know say no be only madrid and barca sabi win league, last season wey messi and barca no too play well you no see how atletico take grab dia chance ??, madrid barca atletico valencia sevilla villareal dem no be beans., suarez murder both shawcross and dunne 4 epl he went to barcelona den him see say level pass level, wen aguero de atletico him no de even dream about golden boot now him don cum EPL him don be king 4 golden boot race, atletico disgrace our current league champions last season, people like liverpool na besikitas knock dem out 4 europa, fiorentina knock tottenham, dynamo kiev murder everton, den fiorentina dat knocked out spurs got raped by sevilla, aggregate score de read 5-0 so wetin you una wan yarn again, cool down wen man-u go meet valencia 4 play-off you go know how far.. EPL de decieve dia selves with mumu teams de talk say na 6teams de challenge 4 title

Una don slaughter jones here o make una just give am one last chance.. As 4 wazza him own tire me. Van gaal first mistake for man.united na de captain wey him give rooney.

Guy leave all dose yarnins, rojo is a good player, he'll be better next season, and dat otamendi fit flop o

Januzaj should be loaned out, dat guy has great potential, but at de moment man-united is too big 4 him, i'll also like to keep valencia as an emergency right black, evans own tire me upon de years wey him don spend with vidic nd ferdinand him no learn anytin na only dia errors him learn, jones na good defender him just need to stay fit, i've got a feelimg he will be our john terry, and ehm dat angelo henriquez de improve, we need to loan him to any team in de top 5 european leagues, and dat is if we are not ready to bring him back to O.T. Wat of nani and chicha? Dem still get future 4 O.T? Mata nkor?

With the above explanation elampiro gave us about di maria operating as a left handed central midfielder in a midfield 3 (though i'm convinced he operated as an AMF), that means the arrival of depay won't be a problem for him, his link up plays with depay will even be superb, i just pray he picks his best form and become consistent, his battle is with fellaini, juan mata nd d rest.. The problem now, na our abino captain.

Man united need to strengthen their squad wit a good dmf, a deep lying playmaker, a CB and a Centre forward.. But our biggest problem is still the pop belly_bald headed captain.. Jag of all trades master of none. Just de block players chances anyhow..

Any united fan dreaming of seeing di maria unsettle young on the flanks should better wake up.. Di maria is still kept on the bench by a false winger (mata) abeg van gaal no be mumu! Make una wake up nd stop dis blind arguement, young can play well on both flanks, so young has nothing to worry about depay's arrival, di maria need to toughen up, cuz herrera nd fellaini re almost undropable now, Rooney fit even join di maria 4 bench..

PietroRico:
lol. A fit young wouldn't get in the team, how then can he paste those numbers.

but a declining british traditional winger (beckham) got into a madrid team stronger than dis current one

PietroRico:
Ashley young in that Madrid team would not reach di Maria's heights

ashley young won't reach the heights cause he doesn't play the real madrid way, just as di maria won't reach youngs heights cause he's not playing the united way.

homesteady:
1)Di Maria has far bettet stats (per 90 mins, per game and by totals)
2) You said Young is more productive because he played as a left back for 1st part of the season and as a winger for the 2nd part! Hence you are assuming that if had played as a winger throughout, he would have had better stats

then, using this your logic
3) I'm also assuming that Danny Rose is better! He played left back through out the season and if he had played as a winger, he would have had better stats!

If you say I'm spewing baloney, then you were also spewing baloney! Stop speaking with two sides of your mouth!

bros na you the make things difficult here, di maria is more productive than young in the midfield area, and young is more productive than di maria in the wing area. As 4 danny rose i don't really know about his stats this season but his strikers are more effective than united strikers this season. And he's playing with wing forwards not wingers, so he's the one that always gets the crosses to final third
