I honestly think drogba deserves it for single handedly winning the FA Cup and Champions League for Chelsea!! At the age of 34 he's still a beast of a player!!
wot do you reckon? Worth a shout?
Drogba for Ballon d'Or?

Messis goals and impact contributed to nothing though, Ronaldos won them la liga, Ronaldo got more goals than Messi last year but didn't get the ballon d'or mainly because messis impact was greater overall as Barca won la liga + the cl

Yeah, but Ronaldo didn't break an all-tinned goal-scoring record, did he? That's why Messi deserves it.

Hmm i know what you mean but goals don't tell the full story, Gomez imo is an awful striker whenever i've seen him yet he still has about 40 goals this season and Bayern have still lost 2 finals + the league so his contribution in effect is nothing.
C.Ronaldos goals / impact has won Madrid the league

Messi has 72 goals end of story

Last year Ronaldo broke the scoring record in La Loga but was criticised because he went on a scoring run after the title was lost.
This year the same thing happened with Messi. He only surpassed Ronaldo's scoring in La Liga after the title was lost.
I still think they'll give to Messi however.

Ronaldo should get it, If messi gets it then UEFA really are bent
=============================
First stupid comment, has nout to do with uefa, it is voted for by players, managers and journo's.
Messis goals and impact contributed to nothing though, Ronaldos won them la liga
=========================
Irrelevant. In terms of individual contribution messi's acheivment is unparalleled. With assists he contributed nearly 100 goals this season.
, Ronaldo got more goals than Messi last year
==========================
No he didnt.
And messi far suppassed his assists aswell.
but didn't get the ballon d'or mainly because messis impact was greater overall as Barca won la liga + the cl
=================================
No it was because messi was quite simply, better.

If anyone even gets in the top two besides Messi and Ronaldo it will be a travesty (barring some miraculous displays from Rooney or RVP at the Euros). These two players are the indisputable kings of football at the moment.
