Didn't quite know how else to present it because directly copying it didn't work.

Robben and Sneijder listed in midfielder and forward nominations?

That's because thats the category the managers voted for them in.

So Wenger and Guardiola see Sneijder as a forward instead of a midfielder.

Whereas Guardiola, Leonardo and Mourinho think Robben is a forward and not a midfielder.

Apparently Puel thinks Buffon is a midfielder though, so it could be that the information is faulty.

As soon as the papers see this I'm expecting a Schweinsteiger to Real Madrid story..

You under-estimate the press.

Story in Marca yesterday (based on a story in BILD the day before):

Mourinho (allegedly): "Schweinsteiger is incredible. We wanted to sign him this year but weren't able to. But without doubt, next year he'll belong to me".

Dang. I thought I had an Exclusive

Was Guardiola taking the piss by giving votes to Almunia and Karius, or is there a reason for that?

Sneijder only got Wenger's vote as forward, although interestingly his consolidation vote in midfield went to Sneijder. Mourinho's for Robben may be tactical vote, but it could be interpretation of attacking intent in position he played as well.

Puel certainly did not vote for Buffon in midfield, althogh some of you may not like hi actual vote. It was for Lampard. I have no idea how that turned into Buffon!

Going back into sabbatical mode now!

Strange one, but don't forget he could not vote for Valdes and clearly highly rated Julio Cesar. You'll have to ask Pep to explain that one,

this was in the press weeks ago, just that the English media completely ignored the Super Cup and Balon D'Or - presumably because none of the inners ever played in England.

Maybe he was being lazy and only voted for the ones he came up against.

He rates Vermaelen as well.

Something went wrong in spreadsheet. He voted for Lampard. Not sure what happened.
