Do You Think Yaya Toure Truly Deserves The Award? by ambrosini593(m): 11:08pm On Jan 09, 2014
A player that won africa nations cup, qualified his country for the next world cup, played in fifa confederation cup and finally capped it up with the Europa cup ended with nothing. Mikel was the engine room in nigeria's midfield through out 2013. He may not have scored goals but he was there executing plans.
As for yaya, I think caf was drunk given him that award. Caf used 2012 performance to give him the award. In 2013, he failed in the nations cup, he failed in the EPL title raise, his team lost the FA cup final to a minor team like Wigan. He only started shining around early October. I don't think he deserves it this time. What's your view on this

Yeah,he deserved it. Mikel and Drogba were not better than him in 2013. A contender like Enyeama,if shortlisted,would have had his victory checked.

Very well, we should check team stats and see what make the difference.
Yaya is a better player

I think its only an Eyeama that could have pose a good contender other than Mikel. And Drogba, though bringing d event to our door steps and slaping it out on our faces is an insult on nigerians!

Of course Yaya deserved it, now all CAF has to do is call up Okocha and hand him the award they deprived him of simply because he didn't have trophies to support his excellent form *tongue-in-cheek*
