Cele-pope:
The useless CAF don't use AFCON as a perimeter in reaching who is to be crowned but instead depend on their club performance and not even the player's performance.That says a lot why Jay jay Okocha my bro never won the coveted award

Arguments like these annoy me. CAF doesn't give people PotY award, coaches and captains of 56 countries in Africa vote. The votes are published.

Let the CAF decide.

Ayosky19: yaya toure is better dan mikel or wats is name again

who is talkin abt being better, is Ribery beta dam Messi or iniesta.

Yes.

Yaya Toure

Achievement and success goes together....mikel has achieve a lot ....so he desserve it...

If Enyeama continues to keep clean sheets at Lille, he should win it. No outfield African player has been too spectacular this year. This is CAF's best chance to give the award to a goalkeeper

whether toure is better or not, am still @ my bro back. If u know like Mikel go hug transformer

BabaAlabi: No..The award should go to a player that has represented Africa internationally and locally and for me that player is Yaya Toure.

Oga please what yardstick did u use to arrive at that conclusion?

This thread had better be a poll ...lol

mikel is improving his football and if he continue he can go far but to say with just one goal in recent time,he should be crown as African footballer of the year is not fair.Let him push a little

BabaAlabi: No..The award should go to a player that has represented Africa internationally and locally and for me that player is Yaya Toure.

I Guess u be manu or Arsenal fans!

You might be more intelligent than me but if we write exams and , maybe by hard work or luck I get higher grade, I will be considered before you at that moment. Based on the exams written so far- AFCON, EUROPA and ConFed cup, Mikel has scored more points than Toure. It is not a matter of who is better but who has performed better head to head. The tropies bear witness

Mikel should have been, but Goals were not coming his way before. For him to have scored his first EPL goal for Chelsea, I would say he's partially qualified, because Goals are also Considered

what r u guys even saying?as gud as most of u claim yaya is how many trophies has he won?presently Mikel deserves it more than yaya or anybody,if incase it goes the otherway then its pure cheating simple

Some nigerian are crazy walahi....if u can not support ur brother who else will support him....I believe if yaya toure is not better than mikel is people will support him no matter what....abi if yaya toure is nigeria and mikel is from ivory coast I trust nigeria they will vote for mikel

lexyman: he should keep improving , but i must be sincere , yaya Toure is in a super form ....Mike's success lies in his hands.

as far yaya is still alive hmmmmmm mikel need to work harder nd harder because yaya is going very crazy now.

DJDOLA: Some nigerian are crazy walahi....if u can not support ur brother who else will support him....I believe if yaya toure is not better than mikel is people will support him no matter what....abi if yaya toure is nigeria and mikel is from ivory coast I trust nigeria they will vote for mikel

Mikel is better than all of them head to head. I bet you.. How much?

Ikenna94: who is talkin abt being better, is Ribery beta dam Messi or iniesta.

You shouldn't have replied him,its obvious his not a fan of Mikel and probably hates Chelsea.

Ikenna94: spot on jare. Mikel is in a beta club dan yaya toure.

yaya beat him in chelsea 3 times last season. Yaya scored 3 goals in afcon, did mikel inspire nigeria to win against uruguay and spain

DJDOLA: Some nigerian are crazy walahi....if u can not support ur brother who else will support him....I believe if yaya toure is not better than mikel is people will support him no matter what....abi if yaya toure is nigeria and mikel is from ivory coast I trust nigeria they will vote for mikel

Don't mind them,it is jealousy that will kill some people.The beef some Nigerians have with him is based on club football.I think everyone has got the right to hate.Yaya is better than Mikel,but Mikel has proven himself more than yaya of late.

Has toure renounced his African citizenship? Despite our nations cup success, it's hard to pin it to mmikel's contribution, cos mba and victor Moses equally contributed immensely. So it was more of a team work afterall he even missed a penalty self. But toure is one of the best players in the world talk less Africa.

Would not even expect him to enter Top 10.

African football has not gone backwards that much.

CAF should respect demselves and giv dis award 2 MIKEL or face my wrath (i.e, keepin quiet).

peleson:

What a list,only 2 players on the list made it to finals of AFCON.

Success begets success Mikel or no other...simple.

This Op must be delusional to think mikel worth Africa best player award cos of one goal in seven yrs
