Kenny Dalglish: Unlucky Luka is my player of the year
The PFA Player of the Year has seven worthy nominees. But the player I would vote for isn’t among them.
With apologies to Samir Nasri, Nemanja Vidic, Scott Parker, Gareth Bale, Rafael van der Vaart, Charlie Adam and Carlos Tevez, the best player I’ve seen this season is Luka Modric at Tottenham.
He is the driving force behind a Spurs team who have had another great season in the Premier League and Champions League. The little Croat can spot a pass, run with the ball and just keep the team ticking along.
Top dog? Modric has shone in Spurs' midfield but missed out on the Player of the Year nominations
I can only think he has suffered in terms of being nominated by having two maybe more eye-catching team-mates, Bale and Van der Vaart, and the PFA felt they couldn’t include three Spurs players. It is a shame for Modric that Spurs were beaten heavily by Real Madrid but even if the tie has gone, it would be justice if he performed at his best in the second leg at White Hart Lane to show he’s right up there among the best.
Of those nominated, Bale lit up the Champions League, especially against Inter Milan. I’ve been impressed with Vidic, too, and Adam is a valid contender despite Blackpool being near the bottom.
In the Young Player of the Year, I’d plump for Javier Hernandez, of Manchester United, narrowly ahead of Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere. To score more than 15 goals in a debut season is impressive enough but it has made the difference with United chasing three trophies.
