That list is an abomination 
The thing is Messi is still far and away the best player in the world so to not include him on any list is criminal lol

It’s a more general point but I think the Champions League has too much sway in these things. How many games is it out of the season? Not many at all yet it seems to hold the most sway.
Honestly Modric’s season has been way overrated because of the World Cup. He was overrun in that Madrid midfield so much last season if I remember rightly…
And yeah, Messi is so clearly the best player currently around, off the back of a superb season, so it’s strange to say the least to not see him even in the top three.

Yeah, there hasn’t been a year since Messi burst onto the scene that he hasn’t been one of the best three players in the world. It seems he is a victim of his own high standards.
And as Will points out, the fact that Real Madrid won the CL and Croatia reached the WC final was reason enough to include Modric instead – not that I believe that should be the case, it’s an individual award afterall, but it seems to be the logic here.
You know, if they wanted to include a real Madrid player who was crucial to their success, a better proposition would be Marcelo.
Madrid’s best player last season imo
Wonder what the scousers are paying this guy:
probably millions a year or at least over the course of his contract. Imagine being a high earner for being able to throw a ball…fucking hell.

We chose the wrong career path 
What i dont understand is why the fuck do you need a contract for a guy that does this. It is not something that changes with the game. A new technique of throwing a ball can be taught in 20 seconds. What in the fuck does a guy need an expensive contract and a long term contract for that. It is like putting a plumber on a 5 year deal at hundreds of pounds a month because you have one leaking tap. They seemingly have more money than sense even if this guy has some wonderous way of lobbing a ball does it honestly take years to learn this shit, there will hardily be any advantage to the game with chucking a ball in anyway, just chuck the guy £100 and show them and go home.

Yeah I was exaggerating for effect. When I posted that I was actually sat at home and very confident that I wouldn’t start crying.

He’s a freelancer
The money involving everything football and especially in England has just reached an absurd high.
Clubs will allocate HUGE sums of their budget for every small edge they can get for their team. Including a danish plumber, which learnt to throw a ball at very long distances in his danish plumber league.
