Adam Lallana nominated for PFA Pplayer of the year

[Ewell]

Just announced on Sky Sports and I honestly didn't see that coming. Well done Adam.

[InvictaSaint]

Hoorah. Well worth his nomination. Good stuff, and well done Adam!

[Goatboy]

Totally justified too IMHO.

He has had a blinding season and should start in Brazil.

[Lallana's Left Peg]

Luke Shaw nominated for Young Player of the Year as well. A fantastic achievement from them both.

[Sour Mash]

Brilliant achievements there.

 

Who else on the list?

 

Got to fancy Shaw winning his award.

[dronskisaint]

What a team we have, what an academy we have! - Well deserved in both cases

[Saint Charlie]

Shaw should win but instead Hazard or Sturridge will.

 

Sturridge made his PL debut 7 years ago, surely he shouldnt be able to win a Young Player award.

 

Lallana - great achivement. In there with some top names ahead of the likes of David Silva.

[igsey]

The PFA list is:

 

Luis Suarez

Daniel Sturridge

Steven Gerrard

Eden Hazard

Yaya Toure

Adam Lallana

[Bearsy]

Amazing when you think of the players he's picked ahead of, e.g David silva, rooney, cazorla, aguerro, Jason puncheon

[DuncanRG]

The PFA list is:

 

Luis Suarez

Daniel Sturridge

Steven Gerrard

Eden Hazard

Yaya Toure

Adam Lallana

 

I'd say that selection is bang-on, but Adam has done well to get in there ahead of Silva.

[Matthew Le God]

Having 23/24 year olds like Ramsey, Sturridge and Hazard is odd for a "young" player award. A 24 year old has had 6+ years playing time, they aren't a new face to the Premier League.

 

 

It should really be set lower and leave the likes of Barkley, Shaw and Sterling to slug it out.

Think silva has spent half the season injured tbf

I agree but rules are rules.

[Bearsy]

Wonder when there was last no Man Utd players?

Not sure if you've been keeping up with the news mate but they have one player nominated in each category - Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw.

[SNSUN]

Congrats on the nominations guys. Proud.

[Stu Man Do]

Congrats to both the guys but I have a sneaky feeling it'll be either Gerrard if they win the league or Suarez otherwise and I think Barkley will win the young player on the basis that he seems to be getting even more hype than Luke

[trousers]

A Liverpool player will win

[ottery st mary]

Well done to both Lallana and Shaw.

 

My missus voted me young player of the year when we first met:rolleyes:

 

But each year there after I was either placed on the free transfer list or offered up as a part exchange for a 25 year old BMW:p

Credit where it's due.

Those Germans know how to make a car;)

[Chewy]

Fantastic news and well deserved by both. Can't see either of them winning, but the nominations are an excellent recognition in themselves. And what a story for lallana - with us in our darkest days, and now a standout premier league player for the saints. Hope it doesn't go to his head, though. Clattenberg wouldn't be happy ...

[Golden Balls]

Both well deserved nominations.

 

Would expect a Liverpool player will win it though.

[max_saints]

its just so nice to see our club mentioned in a list containing all the traditional top clubs. our players won't win, unfortunately.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Superb news for Adam, Luke and the entire club. Very proud moment.

[Window Cleaner]

Excellent news that he's been recognised, pity they'll give it to that knob Suarez though.

[nta786]

Excellent news that he's been recognised, pity they'll give it to that knob Suarez though.

 

As big a knob he might be, you can't deny the fact that he has been exceptional this season, and he rightly deserves to win.

 

Congratulations to Adam on making the shortlist however, and also Luke Shaw, both thoroughly deserved to be nominated.

[S-Clarke]

Very well deserved, if it only is a nomination.

 

Would expect one of the Liverpool lads to win it though

[igsey]

Excellent news that he's been recognised, pity they'll give it to that knob Suarez though.

 

I dunno, it's voted for by the players, and I can't see too many of the many defenders he's cheated voting for him.

[Pastor Patrón]

Amazing achievement when you look at the names alongside him. Things like that and getting England call ups will all help towards keeping hold of our best players.

Toure has started his media campaign to garner votes.

What should Adam claim? That it's hard for angelic looking white short guys with a funny run to get worldwide recognition?

[Bearsy]

Well, he's lost my vote. What a load of bolllocks.

[CB Fry]

Most of those voting would have never played against him. That said, I can't see him winning, too much non football baggage.

[Goatboy]

Well, he's lost my vote. What a load of bolllocks.

 

Don't hate Bearsy. He has obviously contracted a nasty bout of Campbellitis.

[Dr Who?]

Fancy Shaw for the young player, but Saurez will walk the player of the season, because he has been.

 

Well done both for getting nominated.

 

Chelsea

Liverpool

Man City

Saints.

 

Not bad company!

He will not be the winner of the player of the season, because he is not the best player of the season. But he has been short listed, so blows his thinking out the window.

 

Stupid claims...., I is a bloody good player though, but should shut his stupid ignorant trap at times!

Mildly interesting interview with Adam by former Cortese acolyte, Neil Ashton.

 

J-Rod due to have his operation next week after having fluid drained from knee.

[sydneysaint17]

Toure - "people know Messi's face but not mine"....Could that be because he's a bit better than you Yaya?

[Chap in the Chapel]

Well done Adam and Luke. Lallana's form has been so good in recent weeks that I'd now say he's our player of the season, rather than Dejan Lovren.

Bizarre from Toure. Does he think he should be considered on a par with Messi?

[Saint_clark]

Amazing. Well done both.

As already said, the likes of Ramsay and Sturridge shouldn't be included in young player - and I also don't agree with one player being on both lists. But hey ho.
