The nominees are out. Barca dominates the list.
Goalkeeper of the Year: Petr Cech (Chelsea), Victor Valdes (FC Barcelona), Edwin van der Sar (Manchester United).
Defender of the Year: Gerard Pique (FC Barcelona), John Terry (Chelsea), Nemanja Vidic (Manchester United).
Midfielder of the Year: Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Xavi Hernandez (FC Barcelona), Andres Iniesta (FC Barcelona).
Forward of the Year: Samuel Eto'o (FC Barcelona - now Inter Milan), Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United - now Real Madrid).
My bet is on Andres Iniesta.




Of course Iniesta played great as well but it HAS to be Messi.
Iniesta would be a worthy recipient. Gerrard had a sublime campaign though, and on a tier 1 team, he would have been collecting ample silverware.
