The goal-scoring numbers are fairly similar between all three, but let's not forget that Bale is in the midst of a good month and a half or so. He wasn't playing that great at the beginning of the season, whereas Suarez and van Persie have been performing right from the get-go.
So it's gotta be between those two, especially considering Spurs were already in fourth last season. Van Persie has practically won the title for United, while Luis has carried us the majority of the season. Suarez is more than just scoring goals, he's also a hell of a creative force. Opta tweeted last month that no player has created more chances from open play than Luis Suarez. Goal-scorer and creator, that's immense, but doesn't get recognized enough.
That said, we know RvP is going to win it. But it's not as if he wouldn't be deserving of it. I personally think it should be Luis, but that doesn't take anything away from van Persie.
