    Nominated for one game is a bit shit in my opinion 
    18 goals and assists in 31 matches (19 goals and assists in 31 the season before). It was one outstanding match, but he’s been a consistent performer at a high level for a while now.

    Edit - I don’t think he’s anywhere near the best player in the world, but about a million players have been nominated so he deserves to be on the list IMO.

    Not sure where you got those stats from but he played 45 games last season.

    From what i can see he got 17 goals and 10 assists.

    Above people like Mo Salah, Rodrygo? No doubt Lookman's had a good season but without that final performance he wouldn't be on the list

    So 27 Goals and Assists, that's even more impressive. 
  • Well if you put one in the top corner against Scunthorpe in the first round of the FA Cup, people will sit up and notice

    Rumours are Rhodri has it.
    No one from Real Madrid is attending as Vini hasn’t won.

    No idea if that’s true but it’s all over Twitter.

    Great transfer business from Everton to let him go so easily and then use the money to part fund deals for an ageing Walcott and the useless version of Dele Alli.

    Rodri makes sense given he's only lost 4 games of football in about 2 years. 

    Vini has been excellent, but boycotting the ceremony cos you haven't won is very petty. I don't expect anything else from Madrid unfortunately

    Would be hilarious after this:

    Rodri deserves it more though, would be a good choice.

    Where did it all go wrong Ade?
  • Not sure Ademola is bedding a Miss World.
  • Real not turning up is so childish, like a kid flipping a Monopoly board when they aren't winning.

    Especially considering they have 3 players in the top 4. It's ridiculous.

    The whole thing is pretty ridiculous. An Oscars ceremony for football is a load of nonsense.

    Close to making him the best player to ever play for us no? 
    Why is Messi in that picture when he’s not one of the nominees?

    Rodri it is

  • Apparently he’s the first Spanish player to win it since 1960 which seems unbelievable.

    That statement that Real Madrid released was embarrassing

    They should introduce a new rule for next year, don't turn up to the ceremony (without an extremely valid reason) then you're disqualified from winning anything.

    Would Mbappe and Acelloti be so keen to put out stupid social media statements and stay in home for the night if they new it would mean they'd be stripped of their awards?

    Scored an impressive brace in a 3-0 win away at Napoli at the weekend. 

    4 goals and 2 assists in his last three matches in Serie A.

    I really hope he gets a huge January move. It would be a fairytale for a really likeable player and apparently the club would be due a small percentage of the fee for developing him (as would Waterloo who we signed him from).
