[b]In this instance, it is important for CAF to clarify the conditions of the voting. If the award is to recognise the most successful or most influential performer of the year, then Mikel should feel disappointed to have missed out and Nigerians can rightly cultivate the sense of injustice that they inevitably will. The award, however, is to recognise Africa’s finest player; it becomes hard to look too far beyond Yaya. The Ivorian may not have been at his best over 2013 and he may not have lifted any silverware, but he remains Africa’s standout talent. He is the player capable of performing like no other, of dominating contests like no other and of performing more consistently than any other. http://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/4082/editorial/2014/01/10/4533194/yaya-toure-cafs-rightful-player-of-the-year So the author wants Nigerians to believe that Mikel has a better year but because Yaya has the capability of playing football better than Mikel, he deserves the award. How come the finest player is the career and Jay Jay Okocha who had the most capability in Africa didn't win it up to 8 times. #TeamMikel[/b] |

thegoodjoehunt: [i][size=12pt] Simply put Jay Jay barring his twilight years with Bolton was more of a circus performer. |

chic2pimp:The author said the finest player is the criteria and capabilities. Jay Jay for years was Africa's finest with the best capabilities. Any addition defeats the author's reason for Yaya being the best. |

thegoodjoehunt: The author said the finest player is the criteria and capabilities. Jay Jay for years was Africa's finest with the best capabilities. Any addition defeats the author's reason for Yaya being the best. No the author is absolutely right and justified in his thinking. thegoodjoehunt: How does the Author defeat his own argument? Is Toure not far and away Africa' so finest? When was Okocha ever Africa's finest? Remind me please? Is Toure not Africa's stand out talent bare none? Can't remember this ever being the case with Okocha. Again feel free to edjucate me. thegoodjoehunt: lHe is the player capable of performing like no other, of dominating contests like no other and of performing more consistently than any other. Now this sentence should really put to bed any ill conceived attempt at a debate in favour of Mikel. There is no other player in Africa as I type that same can be said off. |

chic2pimp:Understand my point before typing. The author said CAF has not defined the criteria. So how does the author know the criteria to decide the winner? In Pidgin: The Oyibo man talk say CAF Big people no make am clear how we go know who win. So how the Oyibo man take sabi who win. |

chic2pimp:You believe he is right to say Yaya didn't have a good year(2013). That is Yaya wasn't the best player in 2013 but he can play football so he deserves the title. In Pidgin: You think say the Oyibo man correct to talk say Yaya no play ball well for 2013 but because in sabi play ball, in deserve the title. |
