Eifeh:
This is fucking crazy.......... . When
Eto'o defeated J J Okocha, they
said its
because Eto won trophies for his
country and club.
But now they are saying its
individual briliance. God
bless Nigeria

ideyvexnow:

CAF should come out now and tell us what criteria they are using to judge who should win the Best player, is it trophies won or individual brilliance?.

No need to keep shifting the post to favour french speaking countries. Remember that they did the same thing to Jay Jay.

safarigirl: how did Enyeama lose to Yeye Toure?

Enyeama was better than all 3 nominees, dem dey mumu una and una dey gree them. SMH. Giant of africa indeed

CFCfan: Well, congrats to Yaya Toure; but CAF has just made it known to the world that its AFCON tournament holds no value in their award shows.

Snoggy: [size=23]LOL! From January to December, Mikel scored only one goal . . .is that the kinda player that deserves to be called Africa's best player? Forget trophies. Mikel is lame. He should better step-up

January 13th on my mind. [/size]

EWU the award is the best player not the best scorer..... then goalkeepers and defenders should not be nominated at the first place, Yoruba ppl with their IGBO hatred

What does tribalism got to do with fact? Is Mikel anyway near Yaya Toure? This is fcking joke. FYI I am a chelsea fan. I always prefer Luiz in the mid-field.

solomon111: No true chelsea fan with a good knowledge of football will prefer luiz in midfield.
Luiz is erratic and lacks positional awareness and discipline to play in the pivot.
Play luiz in the pivot against a world class team and get destroyed.

Austeenx: Go for glory, Yaya.
I heard that some Nigerian god, Amadioha, predicted 'bout your victory. That's good news, you know.

bizibrain: Ok, I hear u.

If mikel av been ur blood-brother, would u av tip yaya.

D only tin wey pain me b say mikel or any Nigeria player may nt get close 2 dis in 2014. Its obvious nw, club performance was d main yardstick.

Jiganakala: Year under review. Mikel won Europa cup with Club and won AFCOn with Nigeria. If Mikel had won it, club and national team would have been a leverage for him but most times organizers had looked at personal contribution. If we are to rate the contributions of Mikel and Yaya to their clubs and Nations objectively, we Yaya is miles ahead of Mikel. City cannot afford to wish Yaya injured or think of selling him at this present time. Cote'id voire will prefer Drogba to miss world cup than Yaya. He was the only African representative on the 23-man shortlist for FIFA's World Player of the Year award and was also chosen by supporters in the Premier League's Team of 2013.Yaya Chelsea can afford to sell Mikel today if worst come to worst and Nigeria can still present a formidable team in the absence of Mikel. If we are to rate our players performance in AFCOn, I am sure Enyeama, Emenike and Moses will rate higher than Mikel.
As it is Yaya will win the award for 2014 going by his performance so far this season unless something catastrophic happens to him and affect his performance. City may win the FA cup and look like the only team that can stop Arsenal from winning the EPL.

But I must say CAF just like FIFA can be inconsistent sometimes, it is individual performance this time, they may claim team or country performance.

If you are to be a national team coach or a club coach and you have the option of taking either Yaya or Mikel, who will you take. honest answer please
