[ENG] Premiership 2009/2010 (41 Viewers)

I think that the fact that Rooney means way more for his team than Drogba and the fact that he's a bit more of a leader than Drogba and his being English all had a to do with the Player of the Year award going to Rooney rather than Drogba.

Thats what it boils down too. I forgot to mention aswell, Drogba was away for over a month with Ivory Coast and apart from today, does not take the penalty kicks either unlike Rooney at United.

United were playing a Stoke side that were as awful as Wigan today so I don't see your point. When a player outscores the other and out assists the other in THE PREMIER LEAGUE which is what it was based on, then to say Rooney deserves it above Drogba is just weird.

No it is not weird because they give it to players based on performances not merely on the number of goals and assists. I'm a neutral fan when it comes to EPL, I actually wanted Chelsea to win the title, I like both Rooney and Drogba a lot, I watched many of their games and I have to say that Rooney's overall season performance was as good as Drogba's.

Drogba also isn't the most important player for Chelsea either. The award is also about who is more valued by their team.

Drogba's goals have taken them to the Premier League title and a FA Cup final. How is he not more important than Rooney? without Drogba they may not have won the League.

Rooney deservedly won player of the year, as much as i hate to admit it. The squad around Drogba and the attacking approach adopted by Ancelotti helped Drogba a lot this season. But in terms of overall performances and in terms of influence, i'd say Rooney was more influential than Drogba, and almost single handedly won United the title.

I guess you could argue that, but they also have Anelka and have won the league with a single striker.

I don't care either way. I dislike both players. I'm just trying to add a bit for you since you wanted to know why one was picked over the other.

I know, thanks.

@Fred:-

I don't like you anymore

 

[Fred]

It was long overdue with the amount of times we've been disagreeing lately

It's only because a certain player got badly injured for a big part of the season, both you and I know it.

true.

Edit: Oh now i got you. For some reason i thought you were talking about Cesc

[Fred]

Hey excuse me for not expecting such a biased comment from you

 

[Ken]

But he's our boy.

 

[Fred]

He is... but the first Arsenal player on my mind when talking about player of the year would naturally be Cesc, sorry

 

[Red]

Rooney deserved it this year.

Nick, "Defoe> Rooney", so you'll excuse me if I don't take your opinion on the latter too seriously.

 

[Henry]

Rooney deserves it because he dragged Manu to within less than 3 points of the title. Chelsea could have won the league with a different striker playing instead of Drogba

 

[Bjerknes]

Rooney sucks, Man United fans swallow, here's hoping they both don't wake up tomorrow.

 

[Red]

Fine.

Their legendary manager will live forever, though.

 

[Henry]

I hope not
