The readers of All In White have voted, and their verdict is that Robinho has been this season's most valuable Real Madrid player. The results, based on the total votes collected throughout the season on a month by month basis, show that Robinho received 65 out of a total of 394 votes cast, or about 1 in 6. Despite this, recent reports have linked Robinho with a move to either Chelsea or Manchester United, the latter as a possible player exchange for Cristiano Ronaldo.
The top three Real Madrid players were:
- Robinho - 65 votes
- Casillas - 62 votes
- Raúl - 53 votes
- September 2007 - Sneijder
- October 2007 - Raúl
- November 2007 - Robinho
- December 2007 - Van Nistelrooy
- January 2008 - Casillas
- February 2008 - Guti
- March 2008 - Robinho
- April 2008 - Raúl
- May 2008 - Higuaín
Of the 25 players in the squad, only three received no votes: Salgado (no surprise there), Codina (who only played one game all season) and Balboa (whose chances were more restricted in the second half of the season, when more votes were cast). The results for the whole squad were:

well deserved, the readers of your blog are no fools, unlike Madrid management who think they can get away with disrespecting Robinho by offering him up as bait to Manchester for Ronaldo and attempting to erase his contributions to winning the LA LIGA title this year.
I'm not really surprised. Those three were definitely the top three players for us last season. If Robinho is sold, like speculated, it'd be the worst thing to happen to the club at the moment. I hope the President keeps his word and doesn't go for Ronaldo.
And I'm totally for Salgado or getting any votes. Also, I thought Raul would've given stiffer competition to the top two along with Guti.
Well, like any vote, it's not without its flaws. Just like a 'man of the match' award tends to favour those who have scored the goals over those who have made other contributions, the way the votes on this blog have gone reflects that to some extent (though Casillas getting second place shows that his contribution this years has been once again incredible). Still, I think the numbers are largely fair, if somewhat biased towards forwards and midfielders over defenders.
I'm open to suggestions on how to run the vote next season; I need to balance something that shows fairness to the whole squad, with something that most visitors will find easy to participate in (nobody is going to enter player ratings for every game, for instance)
Gonzalo,
In college they give awards for both player (which like you said is almost always midfield or attacking) and defender of the week, month, etc...
Just a suggestion for next year
Although I was glad to see St. Iker make it a close second to Robinho.
