I think MESSI will win.

Ronaldo, no doubt. he is a class over Messi.

Lord Bendther...

Diego Costa.

Ronaldo easy

Back to serious,I think Ronaldo will win it.He started better than Messi for sure...

Ronaldo.

Although Neuer deserves a good shout for it too. I believe he should come 2nd to Ballon d'Or, but we all know how poor Ribery turned out last season....

CR7

I would really like Di Maria in nominations..

Just give it to Ronaldo already.

Jozy Altidore or Ricky van Wolfswinkel

11 goals in last 4 games for Ronaldo. What a player. world, world class performance from him again today vs Bilbao. WHAT A PLAYER GUYS!!!!!!!!!

The last 5-6 games from Ronaldo has been so much more than the goals... his performances have just been stunning. On another level.

Dynastian exactly. when you watch him it's like you watch a machine: he does everything the way he should. sometimes it gets so ridiculous to watch because you wonder how perfect and complete a player can be. well, Ronaldo is the answer to what that is. Complete.

Xabi Alonso

Already , has 5 man of the match awards and broke Bundesliga's record in the amount of touches and distance covered.

Ronaldo is from another planet therefore , he should expect the throphy from the planet he is from not from Earth . Xabi rules the Earth this year .

@Marcus

Bundesliga is a pathetic league now. Bayern have no difficulty beating Bundesliga teams, but struggle in the Champions League. Alonso's opposition is far inferior to Ronaldo's.

Ronaldo all day. He won the CL, broke the record with 16 goals, the Copa del rey, europa supercup, and probably the club world cup. Messi got to a world cup final and comes second, naturally. Neuer third would be a nice recognition of what an amazing keeper and footballer he is.

Ribery's turned out the way it did last year because he's simply a class below the two freaks that are messi and ronaldo.

if chelsea can win a treble this season, and costa being the top scorer in EPL, its not impossible that costa will win it. he already won barclays player of the month award for august and fan pfa player of the month for september award consecutively.

@LillyWhite: **"watching him is like a machine, does everything like he should?" No, absolutely no**t. He's the whole different kind, it's true if you only watch the highlight and his moment. He messed up a lot, in most of his games: more than half of the game looks way too mediocre. But when he had a slight chance, he grabs it like a boss and toss it in the net like nothing. A true incredible goal machine. But the other half, he does all incredible thing that's more than enough, especially with an attack force like that.

@Dyn & KingHenry: I agree with you as he's in a sensational scoring form. And I agree if Messi dont start scoring like insane he would only be 2nd as Ronaldo keeps playing this way. But if Ronaldo stops scoring that much, Messi would go first, since he does MUCH MUCH more than just scoring.

Let's put a little debate here: I dont think Ronaldo is better than Messi at this moment, because Messi is carrying Barca's whole attack now, Munir is not as good as the first few games anymore and Neymar only start sharing scoring part with him but not actually organizing attack. While the entire Real Madrid insane attack force is ON FORM.

^Messi is the only one that carries the Barcelona attack since Suarez isnt playing yet, but just like last night Ronaldo and Benzema and Bale formed the BBC. Dont you remember? These three have an amazing spirit between them and this is making our attack world class.

We have seen in many different cases, Barcelona fails when Messi is not here. It's a dependance, but I'm sure with Suarez this will be better.
