Taylor warns the big spenders

ENGLISH PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor has issued a dire warning to the Premier League’s big spenders.

The PFA have unveiled their shortlist for their prestigious annual player and young player of the year awards, with Wayne Rooney hot favourite to become only the third player to land both prizes.

Rooney has certainly impressed this term, and in Didier Drogba, Cesc Fabregas and former team-mate Carlos Tevez, has three worthy challengers for the crown.
