Broncos218 once characterized QPR as " A team does not live and dies by one man " ( (S8) Coppa Tradizione Quarterfinals Preview )

That is why I'm nominating our great fans who have been with us since day 1 ! They were with us in Serie B , and they believed in us. They are the main reason we finished the league as 3rd in Serie A table in our first ever Serie A season.

Even though I think it will be a blowout win for a certain Ivorian that plays in Moscow; here is my nomination from Udinese:

​

​

Antonio Di Natale leads by example as the captain put up another stellar season for Udinese. Leading them to 2nd in the table Antonio was able to notch up 11 goals and 11 assists (league lead) in 20 games.​

Those 22 direct involvements by Di Natale (goal/assist) were responsible for 71% of Udinese's goals in Serie A (31 in total)​

He is one of only 2 players in the entire Serie this league to have double digit goals and assists this season (other being Serie B's Marco Sau).​

​

It's always hard to pick an MVP on my teams. Defense is never good, and offense comes from everywhere....

So Lille's MVP nomination will be Florent Balmont. The heart and soul of Lille's midfield, Balmont played pivotal roles in attack and defense, stifling counter-attacks and making key plays with the ball. The midfield engine won 4 Man of the Match awards, and added 4 goals and 2 assists. He registered a goal and Man of the Match award in the TFS Coppa, and captained the team in the TSO-P Open Cup competition as the only 1st team starter to make an appearance.

Why does shiftee keep liking these nominations ?

lol because i read the summaries and i like what i've read. jerk. lol

he feels bad that no one else is going to get a vote in the poll

lol good one

Desperate times when you are mentioning the TSO-P Cup

As is usually the case with CSKA, there's little doubt who was my team's MVP:​

​

​

​

Seydou Doumbia - CSKA Moscow​

​

Seydou Doumbia had probably the best season of his career netting 24 goals and adding 7 assists in only 19 games played to go along with 6 Man Of The Match awards. He had a hand in 31 of CSKA's 36 goals scored this season even though most defenders primarily focused on him game in and game out. Whether it was an early goal or late game heroics, Doumbia always seemed to be at the right place at the right time to carry the team on his shoulders and lead them to the Serie A title.​

ST LACINA TRAORE​

ANZHI MAKHACHKALA​

​

Serie A Stats​

12 Goals (T-3rd)​

8 Assists (T-3rd)​

1 MOTM​

The 6'8'' giant was not only a heading machine, but also led Anzhi with 8 assists. Along with his Coppa Tradizione Golden Playmaker award, Traore poised a threat in all aspects of the game against every opponent. At times, teams simply had no way of stopping the Ivorian who scored on over half of Anzhi's Serie A games and scored against all but 2 Serie A clubs. TRAORE FOR MVP!

John Utaka-Montpellier​

​

​

The lone bright spot in a terrible season for the French side. Mr Utaka had 9 goals and 3 assists with 1 man of the match honor. He seemed to be the only consistent threat on a Montpellier side that seemed out of their element in Serie A this season after holding their own in just the prior campaign. Their manager lays blame on the change of controls layed down by the league prior to seasons opening. That will not be an excuse in the future.​

I am in the same boat as RedAL, Hannover's attack is too balanced to have an MVP nominee, but I will give it to...

Mohammed Abdellaoue - striker ​

​

​

​

​

Abdellaoue fulfilled the "number one" striker role for my side with class and clutch ability. He had five goals and six assists in 18 Serie A games, leading or tying for the team lead in both categories. He also led in shots (38), recording 21 on target. He added four goals in four Cup games as well. You should vote for Abdellaoue because of his leadership in the dressing room, something I only see as the manager of the club - you gotta trust me on this one. Through the down times, of which there were many, and the small resurgence, his steady presence has been glorious for this side.​

As much as I'd like to, I simply can't justify voting for my own guy

Voted.

Hoping 4th time is a charm for Mr Doumbia being nominated to the final 3

I had to give Toto some love or else there would be some tension for next season. Plus can't give Doumbia the clean sweep

Congratulations to Seydou Doumbia, Season 8 Serie A MVP! shiftee
