Aguero or Walcott
AGUERO!!
It's probably going to be Aguero.
Why is everyone so high on Walcott though, because of one hat trick in a friendly? I mean he obviously has incredible potential but he hasn't actually realized that potential yet.
He's scored 5 goals in 51 league appearances and a total of 11 goals in 85 games for Arsenal. Bojan has a better goal scoring record, 10 league goals in 38 games and 15 goals in 59 total appearances.
I hope it'll be Balotelli or Bojan. Although, Aguero probably deserves it the most.
Aguero won the Trophy last year so I think Bojan has a very good chance to win this year. Walcott is overated....
Di Maria played good olympic games.
But i think the decison will be between Aguero and Bojan.
Bojan by far! World's best player! He's gonna win it easily!
Bojan is over rated and only scores against lil club's or second string,when he has done this day in and day out against BIG club's then he deserves it..But I doubt that..
