Thats the Peoples choice award, its not actually the real one bale won that. If you think Meireles doesn't deserve it than give me one player who has set the PL alight this season?
Off the top of me head...suarez, hernandez, bale, tevez, elmander, kuyt, lucas, nani, young, brunt, toure, van der vaart, fabregas, odemwingie, hart, kompany, parker, modric, vidic, ji-sun.......I could go on...?
I'm not saying any of these in particular have taken the league by storm but all of them have been much better than meireles.
