Martial? Isnt he 24? Whats the cut of?
I think 24 must be the cut off. Grealish is 25 next month
Definitely going to be Trent, he had a strong case for the senior Player of the season.
we have half of the nominees future is bright.
future is bright.Not a fan of that. Should be 21 or something.I think 24 must be the cut off. Grealish is 25 next month
In saying that, itl be TAA. Has to be
Is there any chance of Henderson being a dark horse in this he has been brilliant all season, in fact most have really good award this year..
They have to be 23 at the start of the season. Raheem Sterling won YPOTY last year when he was 24.
Trent will definitely win it. Good list of players. Can't really disagree with any of them being there.
Martial in what his 5th season and Grealish shouldn’t be in this. A bit like when Sterling and Kane were nominated/ won a few years back.
Once you’ve reached a certain no. Of first team appearances you should be excluded.

Surprised Lingard hasn't been included, what is he, 22 now?
Four United players on the list and still surprised AWB wasn't on it. Anyway, its obvious TAA will win it.
I wouldn't put AWB over any of those currently nominated.
I'd have him among them but don't know how long the nominee list is supposed to be.
Arsenal fans unhappy on twitter that Saka wasn't included - But I've no idea who you'd put him in ahead of
Trent deserves it but I voted for one of our own. Yeah, am bias. I know
This is a public vote? Pulisic could get it.
American fanboys online make the Messi/Ronaldo squad look like amatuers.

Trent or Martial definitely.
Public vote combined with a panel of experts - So basically no.. public vote will mean jack shit
Surely the cut off shouldn't be about age but about the number of seasons in the league. I think this award should be about young players breaking out rather than just being young, so players should only be eligible in their first 2 seasons.
Grealish made his league debut in 2013/2014. Trent is only 21, but he has 93 league games and 30 CL games under his belt, he's about to enter his 5th pro season. Martial is about enter his 9th season. Hardly fair that someone like Greenwood is competing against players of that calibre with that level of experience.

Aw, thats a shame. Always fun to see a meltdown when these things get hijacked.
Was it last season when Kane missed out on a Spurs "player of the decade" to Peter Crouch? Funny shit!
I can't remember that, but I can remember a liverpool one where United fans hijacked it for Balotelli to get the award and they ended up pulling the award altogetherIn society you're considered a young person until you turn 26, i'm guessing the decision makers here went by similar guidelines.
There should be an "Old man" of the year award, given to players 34 and over.
Where have you heard that?
Trent will win it I guess
I use to be a youth worker and courses, volunteer opportunity's, housing projects etc dedicated for 'young people' were almost always 16-25.Where have you heard that?
Got to be Greenwood surely?
Trent is probably the most deserving winner, but he is definitely not getting my vote 
Also, 6 out of the 8 are English - quite promising for the national team. It's coming home!

Interesting. In football you have the U21 at national level, U23 as well. Where i am you can have some government benefits when buying a house if you are under 36 i think. It's an interesting discussion this on what is young, for another thread though.
TAA is the obvious pick, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Greenwood snatch it.
The cut off is ridiculous.
Greenwood will be eligible for this award for another 6 seasons, that's a bit mental
And could easily have played 250 matches by then!Greenwood will be eligible for this award for another 6 seasons, that's a bit mental
It’s ridiculous.
Maybe VAR will get him in. Then they’ll claim another trophy from that and say how they’re bigger than us and Chelsea.
Has anyone said Lingard yet
