Disagree with Falcao, while he was awful he was a decent 5m punt (plus his mad wages). I think the real answer is Balotelli, and the mad thing is, everyone saw it coming - which probably makes it even worse.

Balotelli has been awful, but everyone expected him to be. Falcao was rightly considered one of the worlds leading strikers so thats why he is the bigger flop to me.

Player of the season: David De Gea. Hazard brought a lot to Chelsea of course, but I think they'd have won the league without him...United would have been nowhere without De Gea.
Manager of the season: Ronald Koeman. It shows what a great job he did that you almost forget how much trouble Southampton looked to be in at the start of the season. A few people had them down as relegation candidates, while most thought they'd at least suffer a drop from last season...instead they finished higher up the table, playing better football. Nigel Pearson deserves a lot of credit for turning Leicester around and managing to keep the squad onside while continually making a fool of himself in the pres.
Team of the season: Southampton. Same reasons as above. If it's open to more than the Premier League then Barcelona or Bournemouth. The football Barca have played recently is possibly as good as I've ever seen - more vulnerable than the dominant Guardiola side but also more exciting and varied in attack.
Young player of the season: I suppose it has to be Harry Kane. Still not 100% convinced this whole season has been a blag, but you can't really argue with his performances and record.
Goal of the season: Bobby Zamora's. Can't remember who it was against (West Brom?) but it was a stunning chip from a tight angle on the run, with his wrong foot too. I think it was the same weekend as the overrated Charlie Adam goal.
Achievement of the season: Bournemouth getting promoted. They're owned by a rich guy but he hasn't spent much, and their wage bill is very small...incredible achievement and I can't wait to see them in the Premier League next year.
Match of the season: Tottenham 5-3 Chelsea. The best side in the league utterly blown away, with five goals in the space of about 40 minutes either side of half time. Peak Kane as well as he banged in a screamer then curled in another.
Moment of the season: Another Kane mention - last-minute winner against Arsenal. Fantastic.
Biggest surprise of the season: Di Maria flopping. Everyone saw Balotelli coming, and there were rumours that Falcao's injury had done him in...but Di Maria seemed like a guaranteed success after a sensational season with Madrid. All of the energy and quality he showed last season disappeared.
Best signing of the season: Diego Costa. Gave Chelsea what they were missing last year, and gave the fans exactly what we wanted ie. a fantastically entertaining bastard.
Worst signing of the season: After mentioning him earlier I could say Di Maria, but he still has time to come good. Falcao cost the best part of £15m for one year and barely looked like a professional footballer.
Most improved player: I'd go with Coutinho. There was never any doubt about his ability, but he's been far more consistent this season and has been a rare bright spark in a poor Liverpool side. Ashley Young deserves a mention as well.

Player of the season: Nemanja Matic. The difference between the champions and everyone else. He was a rock that made Chelsea the best defense in the league
Manager of the season: Jose Mourinho. Best manager in the world. Never lets his team take a game off.
Team (Club) of the season: For England, Southampton. For the whole club top to bottom, replacing the manager and then all the players in the offseason and somehow getting better. For all of Europe, Juventus.
Young player of the season: Harry Kane. Like Simon, I doubt he can do it for good but he was great this season.
Goal of the season: I can't remember specifics. I feel like the weekend of Zamora and Adam, there was another goal I really liked but Zamora's was great.
Achievement of the season: Southampton, for team, for same reasons as everyone. John Terry, for person, a horrible person, but playing every minute for the champions at 34 is remarkable. Mention for Alan Pardew for keeping two teams in the league.
Match of the season: Everton 3 Chelsea 6. The Spurs/Chelsea game was fun too.
Moment of the season: I can't think of specifics again. Kane beating Arsenal was great.
Biggest surprise of the season: Harry Kane. Came out of nowhere. Couldn't even score in the Championship and somehow gets 20 in the Premier League. Leicester beating United 5-3 for a specific game.
Best signing of the season: Alexis Sanchez. Great. Everything Arsenal could have hoped for. Costa if he didn't disappear the second half.
Worst signing of the season: Dejan Lovran. Paid too much in the first place and then he was useless. At least Falcao wasn't permanent and they should get back most of what DiMaria costs. Liverpool would be lucky to get half back for Lovren.
Most improved player: I'm sure someone will come up with something better than I could. Kane is too obvious. Bolassie is a good shout. Coutinho was Liverpool's best player this season. Cresswell from West Ham has been very good. How about Fabian Delph for Aston Villa? Was he this good last year? Can't remember but he has been excellent too.
