Messi is undoubtedly a gifted footballer, like Maradona and Pele, and he's playing for the best club side in the world at the moment. He's successful and he's winning trophies, so it's only logical that he'll be voted the best player in the world.
Messi won 3 Ballons d'Or and is competing for another one. He will be the best player in the world until he retires.
If he isn't named footballer of the year, football should be stopped and the men who picked any other player should be sent to Kremlin. (on Tommy Smith)
As a non-Arsenal player I would say Ryan Giggs is my Premier League player of the decade because he has combined style with winning. Also I feel sorry he could never attend the World Cup, somewhere where people get a lot of compliments when they do well.
Only one thing can stop Luis Suarez from being voted as the Players' Player of the Year... his fellow players.
But I just want to be known for my football.
No one did what I did last season and for this, I deserve the Golden Boot and why not the best World Player award?
I can't understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it's because he doesn't seek the limelight like some of the other 'stars'.
Winning titles plays a big role in the Ballon d'Or race.
To be able to earn what Cristiano earns, I would have had to have been the best player at the World Cup or won the Ballon d'Or.
I was very proud to win the PFA trophy because usually an attacker or a midfielder wins it.
It is an honour that a coach like Guardiola speaks highly of me, for him to rate me as highly as I have read that he does. I genuinely appreciate it - from the bottom of my heart.
I never expected to win Young Player or Player of the Season because there is some fantastic competition - Ruben Neves at Wolves, James Maddison at Norwich, and Tom Cairney here at Fulham. To win those two awards is a special feeling.
