Tough to see either Simpson or Hutch going their career without a MNT player of the year award. I want to give it to Hutch, I mean playing 90 out of position for PSV, Danish Superliga player of the year, FIFA player of the day/performance vs. Ukraine... but at the same time Simpson has been killing it for Manisaspor and over the past year has been the best player for the actual national team.

Im gonna have to go like:

1. Hutchinson

2. Simpson

3. Cann (even though he didn't play for the nats he was TFC's player of the year)

^ TFC player of the year really doesn't mean j*ck sh*t at this level. Especially when anyone without blinders on would have to agree that the TFC player of the year could only go to DeRosario. But I do like your first two choices. :)

I think it means something if you are to look at the 3 canidates from TFC. IMO, Cann and DeRo were close for this award but I think I saw more games where I was frustrated with DeRo than I saw with Cann (maybe 2-3 bad games). So, I think the selection is justified and I don't think I've blinders.

BTW, who was voting for the TFC award?

We'll have to agree to disagree. DeRo set a new standard in his career in goal scoring and named to MLS top 11. Cann and Attakora were a big improvement in the team defence but TFC still finished out of the top 10 in the league in goals against and neither were given a sniff for MLS top 11.

Both Simpson and Hutchinson have had great years at both club ad country levels.

It seems pretty close, so I will ask the question: with both of our guys doing great at their club teams, which is doing it at a higher level? How does PSV and the Dutch league compare to Manisaspor and the Turkish league?? This might sway my decision! :D

It's very tight between Simpson and Hutch IMO, but I think Simpson just edges it.

Simpson is scoring in bucketloads - something rare for a Canadian. And I honestly think the Turkish league is equal too if not better than the Dutch league. Look at Champions Leagues results in the past few years, the dutch league gets along on its reputation and lots of people assume that the Turkish league is bad on the basis that they don't know much about it.

+1 For me, Simpson gets the nod. He is playing in his natural position and just shining. Hutch, at the moment, is filling a utility role at club level (albeit at a more prestigious club) and wowing from time-to-time.

Both played some gems for Canada. Tough call.

The way I look at it is this, both play in similar leagues but Hutch plays for a much better team... equivalent to if Josh played for Fenerbahce. Both have been good for the nats although Simpson has been better imo. Hutchinson's Danish player of the year really just wins it for him imo... how many Canadians have EVER won player of the year in a European top flight?

Simpson scored 4 goals in 29 games in 2009-2010 and 7 goals in 14 games in the current season. It's good but not more than Occean (I know he has been good with the NT too), and Manisaspor is not so good this season, whereas PSV is first in the standings.
