The idea of using goals to place value on a player worth is new and wrong at the same time. Football is a team sport and not a one man game. In the game of football, everyone plays his/her part in achieving the overall aim of the club which is winning a match, tournament or trophies.

That is not to say, that recognition of special talent(s) or individual skill should not be kept under the carpet. I suggest that it should be measured in categories.

For example, awards for best players should be given to a particular position annually. There should be a Balon d Or for goal keepers, defenders, midfielders, wingers and strikers. It will balance the equation.
