Feels like we're taking him for granted not even considering him for the PFA PotY. We are just not the same without Virgil. But the other thing is how reliable he is, almost never injured. Hendo has had a fantastic year but for me Virgil is still head and shoulders above anyone else in this league. He is not just the best defender but also the best player.
hmm i dont know about that, but as far as VVD and the poty is concerned, i do find it surprising (at the least) that his name isn't coming up in poty discussions when i've come across them thru various media - if i was asked to name a player who is head and shoulders above those in his postiion, first name that leaps out is VVD, no one i've seen in world football is even close to him, not remotely and you couple that with the high level of play he consistently turns in every week, dude is a force of nature
that said, a number of players have had a great year individually, and in the end with most seasons there are a few standout players and it's a coin toss of who gets it as it's a subject choice
if vvd wasn't in the running come the poty top (cant recall exactly how they do it...) but let's say top 5, yeah, to me i'd beg to differ on that
